Power of Water: How Hydrotherapy Enhances Labor and Birth Experiences

Written By: Alfiya Khadeer Labor and birth are profound, life-changing events, and every expectant mother deserves a birth experience that feels empowering, supportive, and as comfortable as possible. One of the most effective, natural comfort measures is water—whether through a warm shower, soaking in a tub, or even laboring in a birthing pool.

Filling Gaps in the Muslim Birth World

This week, Sarah Abugosh, shares the history of AMANI Birth's inception in her own words, and adds further regarding the importance of the organization's work and its necessity for the Muslim Ummah at large: Tell a brief history of how the AMANI Birth program came to be? AMANI birth came to be out of necessity, due to lack of natural birth advocacy and awareness in the Middle Eastern Region especially, as well as all around the Arab and Islamic world. Unfortunately, as our founder, Aisha Al Hajjar, has experienced during her time living (and giving birth) in Egypt and then [...]

Stories Of Inspiration & Empowerment: AMANI Birth Changing Lives Series

REVIVAL OF MY MOTHERHOOD - A BIRTH STORY Written By: Umm Aaqib بسم اللّٰہ الرحمن الرحيم Let's start this from the beginning...

With two previous [...]

AMANI Birth Certified Educator, Liyana Helmy, goes down the memory lane and affectionately remembers about her birth experience: March 17th is my twins’ 5th birthday and my VBA2C (Vaginal Birth After 2 Cesareans) anniversary, alhamdulillah.

The Messengers Of Labor

Hormones-the chemical messengers in our bodies-are one of the many facets that comprise a birth. Unseen to the naked eye, yet their effect is so profound and powerful that the course of a mother's labor can be dictated by these tiny particles. Although there are a number of hormones that play their part in maintaining and sustaining a pregnancy, there are a few renowned ones that cannot be ignored when labor contractions hit. Oxytocin: Often dubbed as the "love hormone", oxytocin's role before, during, and after labor is noteworthy. While examining human uteri (s. uterus), researchers have identified the concentration [...]
