Becoming a parent is one of life’s most meaningful and transformative experiences. At Fakeeh University Hospital, we celebrate this journey with you. The FUH Life – Parenthood Program is thoughtfully designed to support, educate, and empower expectant parents—from the early stages of pregnancy to your baby’s important first milestones.
Rooted in over four decades of excellence in patient care, our program is led by experienced obstetricians, midwives, nurses, and specialists who guide you with compassion and expertise every step of the way. Whether this is your first baby or you are expanding your family, our goal is to help you feel confident, informed, and fully prepared.
The FUH Life Parenthood Program is a structured, 4-week antenatal education series designed for expectant parents. These sessions help you understand labor and birth, breastfeeding, postpartum care, newborn care, home safety, and more.
Each weekly class includes:
Our program ensures you are emotionally, physically, and mentally prepared for childbirth and early parenthood.
This session helps you prepare for your baby’s arrival, focusing on what to expect during labor and delivery.
Breastfeeding is one of the most important steps toward your baby’s health. This week is designed to build your confidence and knowledge.
Your postpartum journey is just as important as childbirth. This week focuses on recovery, newborn care, and early parenting skills.
Bringing your baby home is a joyful moment, and our goal is to help you create a safe and supportive environment.
We believe every woman deserves access to compassionate, personalized, and evidence-based care. Our Women’s Health Department includes:
We empower women to make informed choices about their health, pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum well-being.
At Fakeeh University Hospital, we believe that every family deserves compassionate, clear, and consistent education and support as they begin their breastfeeding journey. Guided by the UAE Ministry of Health and inspired by the WHO–UNICEF Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative, we have created a series of 16 parent-friendly educational videos — each one reflecting the same warmth, reassurance, and practical guidance found in our breastfeeding storybook.
These videos are designed to help you feel confident and supported from the very first moments with your baby. Each chapter is short, easy to follow, and filled with guidance you can use right away, from skin-to-skin bonding and positioning to expressing milk, cluster feeding, understanding your baby’s cues, and knowing when to ask for help. This hub is created with love, with care, and with the belief that every parent can succeed when they are supported.
We are honoured to walk this journey with you.
Join our monthly FUH Life Café events, designed to help parents learn, connect, and support one another throughout their baby's first year.
These sessions create a warm, supportive community to help you thrive in your parenting journey.
