your profile says you're a UK national. i'm pretty sure your embassy can lend you a helping hand. don't be afraid of anything. take the risk --- not for you but for your baby. besides, there never was a case here in Doha that the Qatar government took the baby away from the parent just because of visa problems. you'll get over these. be strong. pray and have faith in God. there's always light at the end of a dark tunnel. keep us posted...cheers!
