☢️Ultrasounds don't use radiation or X-rays, two things that do have known risks; which is why both the FDA and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), have stated that ultrasounds are not harmful.
⚠️However, there’s a catch: Scientists aren’t sure if long-term ultrasound exposure is potentially dangerous.
🤰🏻The main concern is that energy from ultrasound waves heats up the tissues in your growing baby, and this might somehow affect them down the road.
💢ACOG makes it very clear that the energy delivered to the fetus cannot be assumed to be completely safe.
✨It's important to do your own research from evidence-based sources, and make informed decisions!
🩺Don't hesitate to talk to your care provider or to discuss why they require you to get ultrasounds during your pregnancy.
👩🏻⚕️Your pregnancy care provider is there to ensure the safety of both you and your baby, so it's perfectly account to make sure all your concerns are addressed.
💕Get educated, get empowered, and make informed decisions!

🤔 Did you know that more than 90% of babies are born two weeks either side of the predicted due date? Only 4% actually arrive on that exact day! 😲
📅 The term "due date" can be misleading. It's simply a reference point for care providers to track pregnancy milestones, not an exact science. 🤷🏻♀️

✨Pregnancy is a beautiful journey filled with moments of joy and wonder. Yet, it also comes with its own set of challenges. One common discomfort many expectant mothers face is dyspnea or shortness of breath. But fret not, because AMANI Birth is here to guide you through it!
🤰🏻Dyspnea can often be aggravated with activity due to the pressure of the expanding uterus on the diaphragm and less room for the lungs to fully expand as the baby grows and takes up more space.
🧬As a normal part of pregnancy, your breathing might be affected by the increase in the hormone progesterone, which causes you to breathe in more deeply.
😮💨This might make you feel as if you're working harder to get air.
👩⚕️If you tried the tips above and breathing is really difficult or just doesn't seem right to you, discuss it with your doctor to rule out underlying issues or illnesses that may also cause dyspnea.
😍To learn more about such complications during pregnancy and how to cope with them - join our Blessed Start course, an evidence-based and Islamic-based childbirth preparation program!

🤰✨ 3 Simple Tips for a Safe Pregnancy and Birth!
Ensuring a safe pregnancy and birth involves a combination of physical, emotional, and mental well-being. These simple things can contribute to a healthier pregnancy and childbirth:
Maintain a Balanced Diet:
📝 Keep a diet diary to monitor and ensure you are getting the recommended 80-100g of protein daily.
🍎 Adequate protein intake can reduce the risk of preeclampsia, a condition characterized by high blood pressure during pregnancy.
Regular Exercise:
🏃♀️ Engage in regular, moderate exercise throughout pregnancy to strengthen muscles and promote overall well-being.
🚶♀️ Walking, in particular, has been shown to shorten labor duration by 28%.
Emotional Well-being:
🧘 Let go of emotional baggage and manage stress to create a positive environment for both you and your baby.
🌸 Emotional well-being contributes to hormonal balance, releasing oxytocin, which supports the progression of labor.
Bonus Tip🌟: Blessed Start Course:
🤰 Consider joining a comprehensive pregnancy and childbirth course, like the Blessed Start Course, to gain in-depth knowledge about staying in tune with your body.
📚 Learning how to manage various aspects of pregnancy, including nutrition, exercise, and emotional well-being, can empower you for a safe and healthy pregnancy and birth.

🌟 Hear what Dr. Manar, an AMANI Doula, has to say about her journey:
I was delighted to meet with Aisha Al Hajjar, my birth educator and trainer Aisha is an American-Saudi Midwife who has devoted the past years of her life to teach, train and assist ladies about natural instinctive birth driven from an Islamic perspective, enlightening how birth can be about a heart full of submissions to Allah and a body that is full of power and resilience... and femininity!
Aisha was the first person to open my eyes to the world of instinctive natural birth, a milestone that not only changed my practice but also changed my life. In 2016, I went to her childbirth education and doula training AMANI, I was full of questions and with zero plans to work in the field of pregnancy and birth. To be honest, I started the journey of curiosity by studying breastfeeding, and in that too I really had NO career plans!
Curiosity gave me 7 lives to spend on the learning journey! The 7 stations started in Pediatrics, then Lactation, Pregnancy and Birth, Endocrinology, Nutrition, Functional medicine... and who knows what to follow and when my 7 lives will end?! I never had the chance to talk about my station with Aisha and I also never had the chance to talk fully about my birth experiences and how that changed my life... how it increased my respect for my body and femininity... and more importantly how it affected my relationship with Allah.
I still keep the warmth of the memories in my heart, the road, and the company, the ups and downs, the effort and the travels, the answers that only fed the curiosity with more questions. I seize this opportunity to tell publicly how much I am grateful for Aisha, who traveled all the way from the USA to give training to a single doctor in Egypt! And how she tailored the training according to my personal and professional experience to highlight the VBAC chances and the birth implications on Lactation.
She planted some seeds that she never knew how they would grow... but they miraculously did! For me and many other women down the road. Aisha... I am forever grateful.
