Hello-
I have a friend who's son married an Egyptian woman.  They live in Dubai
now.  She is from Cairo & he's american-they are Muslim.  We'd like to know
how labor is typically in Egypt & Dubai?  Mostly in hospital births, IV
pain medications or epidurals in labor?, husband usually at birth?  Also,
do most Egyptian women breastfeed & if so, how long? How about in Dubai? My
friend is a labor nurse & lactation counselor who would like to know more
about the labor & lactation practices in both countries so she can be aware
& provide advise as needed regarding the impending birth of her first
grandchild.  Any info greatly appreciated.  Thank you, Debi RN, BSN, IBCLC
