Can we stop giving our bodily autonomy away when we’re pregnant?

When we are offered something or advised to do something we often stop and think is this something I want to do?

Unless you don’t…
We tend to access healthcare and question what is being asked of us or even what’s being offered or not

This is the exact same principles for pregnancy and birth

As Muslim women, our bodies are an amanah and it becomes more evident in pregnancy and birth as there’s now you and another life involved

Exercising your bodily rights in pregnancy and birth as a Muslim woman

So I’m not sure what happened or when women are pregnant because majority of your life you trust yourself

You trust to make decisions, to do something that feels right to not do something, you don’t really have too much doubt in making choices in life

and then you’re pregnant. And then you start to handover this trust to somebody else and I’m not sure why is it because of lack of confidence? Is it because you think others no Best? Do you not listen to your intuition? Or do you think you need to have so much knowledge about birth to be able to understand your body?

And none of those is true because you are the expert in yourself and instilling confidence in yourself is truly an incredible trait to have in pregnancy

yes, I understand if you might have anxieties or fears and that can interrupt with trust trusting yourself

This is where you have to be aware of learning tools and techniques to help you feel grounded, calm and self trust in pregnancy

Ahhh Islamic Hypnobirthing is not new
It’s ancestral and part of our lineage
It’s learnt behaviours through observations of birth in our families and tribes

Islamic Hypnobirthing is deep because we go through all 5 sense + purification of the heart

I LOVE amaliah gave me their platform to talk about it

If you’re pregnant and secretly terrified of giving birth, this is for you.
You don’t need to feel ashamed of being scared.
Fear doesn’t mean you have weak faith.
And preparing for birth doesn’t mean you’re trying to control exactly how your birth will unfold.
You can make du’a…
And prepare practically.
You can trust Allah…
And still learn about your options.
You can surrender the outcome…
And still prepare your mind, your body and your birth partner.
Your preparation isn’t about guaranteeing a particular birth.
It’s about walking into birth with knowledge, support and trust…
Whatever your birth ends up looking like.
So if you’re scared right now…
Take a breath.
You don’t have to figure everything out today.
Just take the next step.
Send this to a pregnant Muslim woman who needs to hear it 🤍

With love & du’a

Things to ask during your pregnancy and labour

Before you agree to something in pregnancy or labour, you can ask these questions.
“What is the reason for this?”
“What are my options?”
“What happens if we wait?”
“What are the benefits and risks?”
“Can I have a moment to think?”
And here’s an important one…
“Can you explain that in a way I can understand?”
You don’t have to know all the medical terminology.
You don’t have to be embarrassed about asking questions.
And you don’t have to feel like you’re being difficult because you want to understand what’s happening to your body.
Good birth preparation isn’t about refusing everything.
It’s about being informed enough to participate in your decisions.
Save this list — you might want it later 🤍
With love & du’a

Here’s a conversation I wish more Muslim couples had before going into labour.
Ask your partner:
“If you’re overwhelmed and can’t speak for yourself, how would you like me to support you?”
Not just:
“What hospital do you want?”
“What position do you want to give birth in?”
“Do you want an epidural?”
Those conversations matter too.
But what happens when things don’t go exactly to plan?
Who do you want speaking up for you?
Do you want your partner to ask questions before you agree to something?
Do you want them to remind you of your preferences?
Do you want them to simply hold your hand and give you space?
Don’t assume you’ll know what each other needs.
Talk about it before you’re in the middle of labour.

Can I tell you something about hypnobirthing that might surprise you?

You don’t have to be completely calm during labour.
You can cry.
You can feel overwhelmed.
You can say, “I don’t know if I can do this.”
You can even have moments where fear shows up.

I encourage my clients to befriend the fear because then you’re not fighting yourself
Birth is hard work

That doesn’t mean you’ve failed at hypnobirthing.
Hypnobirthing isn’t about creating a perfect, pain-free or emotion-free birth.
It’s about having tools that help you work through the intensity…
Understanding what’s happening…
Knowing your options…
And feeling supported in your decisions.
So if you’re preparing for birth and you’re thinking,
“What if I panic?”
Remember:
You don’t have to be perfectly calm.
You just need tools to come back to yourself.
Save this for the days when self-doubt creeps in 🤍

Your birth partner has ONE job during labour…
And it’s not to tell you to breathe.
Yes I said it

It’s to help you feel safe enough to make your own decisions.
When you’re in labour, you might feel overwhelmed. You might change your mind. You might need a moment before answering a question.
That’s where your birth partner comes in.
They can say:
“Would you like a moment to think about that?”
“Do you want me to ask them to explain it again?”
“Is this still what you want?”
Or simply…
“I’m here. Take your time.”
Birth partners are not there to control the birth.its your birth your body your baby
They need to protect the space around the mother so she can stay connected to herself.
Send this to your birth partner 🤍

Having a baby soon? 🤍 Here’s what Muslim parents should know about the adhan at birth.

When your baby is born, you may have heard that the adhan should be recited in their ear.
But what exactly is the Islamic guidance on this?
There is a narration from Abu Rafi‘ رضي الله عنه that the Prophet ﷺ recited the adhan in the ear of Al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali when Fatimah رضي الله عنها gave birth to him.
Because of this narration, many scholars consider reciting the adhan in the newborn’s right ear to be recommended.
The idea is beautiful: the first words your baby hears are words declaring the greatness and oneness of Allah.
But there’s something important for expecting parents to know:
This is a recommended practice, not an obligation.
So if it isn’t done immediately after birth — or isn’t done at all — you have not committed a sin, and there is no need to panic.
And remember: childbirth can be unpredictable. Your priority is the safety and wellbeing of mother and baby.
So if you’re preparing for your little one’s arrival, you can make a simple plan:
Ask your husband, a family member, or someone you trust to recite the adhan in the baby’s right ear after birth, if possible.
And don’t let this become another source of pressure during an already emotional moment.
May Allah bless every expecting mother, make childbirth easy, and grant our children lives filled with iman and goodness. Ameen. 🤲

Being unapologetically Muslim during birth isn’t about making demands—it’s about ensuring one of life’s most vulnerable moments aligns with your faith.
Your birth preferences matter. Your Islamic needs matter.
Whether it’s requesting female healthcare providers where possible, maintaining your modesty, having time and space for du’a and dhikr, delaying unnecessary interruptions after birth, or welcoming your baby with the adhan and tahneek, these aren’t “extras.” They’re meaningful parts of your faith and your birth experience.
You don’t have to leave your deen at the hospital door. Advocating for your Islamic values helps you feel safe, respected, and empowered during labour and birth.
Birth is a sacred journey. You deserve care that honours both your body and your beliefs.
