Happy Offspring Birth & Doula Services

To my dearest Happy Offspring followers, as most of you know, I have relocated to Melbourne this year June, which explains the radio silence.. it is also with the heaviest heart that I share my break from any form of birth and post-partum work for the meantime ... as I am occupied with my own family.

To all the lives which I have journeyed with / alongside , thank you for allowing me the honour to be part of your story. To those who have been waiting for my reply, I sincerely do apologise.

To my dear pregnant mamas, remember to invest in childbirth education before your baby arrives. Include your partner in your preparation because you will need him to be your voice in many aspects. Learn about your rights in the delivery suite. Do not be fooled by fear mongering tactics. Follow your heart, listen to your instincts... birth is an instinctive process. Trust the process. Your body is capable of many wonderful things... and you.. have the power to go through it. Believe in yourself.. let your fears go... husbands, hold your wife's hand .. guide her in this life changing journey and trust her. Be there for her in every step of the way, she's doing amazing work bringing your child to earth.

If you want to get a doula, arrange for an interview with them... do your shopping and find one who resonates with you.. one who can support you through your journey .. one who is passionate about being there with you.. there are plenty of good doulas in Singapore.. get in touch with them n be ready to be blown away :)

Last but not least, motherhood is challenging. It is hard. It is bitter. It can be so challenging... and so lonely.. don't ever forget to trust the process. Ride in the waves... yell for help when u need it.dont be afraid of judgements... (your true village ppl will come running to help u) have 0 expectations.. one can never be fully prepared for this roller-coaster journey.. but once u taste the sweetness of it, ull see the joy and worth in it.

😊

And with that, I leave you with my heaviest goodbye.

❤️
Much love,
Doula Shaheeraa Khan

Bringing this popular workshop back to prepare your partner for your upcoming birth!

Learn all about how pain and fear can affect your birth expectations and tools/techniques which both you and your partner can use to encourage a positive childbirth experience.

Notes, materials and recording of workshop will be emailed to you after the class ends

Bonus! Sliding scale payment to suit your affordability in these trying covid times.

Here is what one of our previous participant said about the workshop:
"It was indeed beneficial! The tools and advice in your workshop for birthing partners are indispensable and we value your experience. Wish we knew all these for our past two births! Can’t wait to put our new knowledge to practice hehe" - Nadia

Usually we tend to focus on the negative changes in our body during pregnancy. Did you know that there are some amazing positive changes too?

The more you learn about your body, the more you will learn to love and accept it ❤️ Share this helpful post with a friend!

Malay 40 days pantang gets a YES from me the postpartum doula 😁 It has been designed to care for a mom after birth and for her to rest and heal, slow postpartum indeed. Here’s why 👆🏻

What are your thoughts on it? Do you like it? Do you not like it? Do you practice it or prefer not to? Tell me below!

We’ve always heard that our words have power. And when it comes to birth, it matters more than ever.

They change our perspective, moods, tolerance, positivity and more. Are you choosing your words wisely? 😄

Birth class is not about how to give birth. 

It's about having the support of someone to answer questions about all the things no one talks about, provide research-based information for sorting through all the options, and help develop the skills for demanding informed, compassionate, and respectful care.

It's about recognizing the value of the journey and the ability to come out of it feeling empowered and nourished the whole way through. (True words from )

If you are looking for such support and community to prepare for your birth, please reach out to me at happyoffspring.com , I have a few last rounds of birth class before I go on a break!

“Birthing has been done since the beginning of time, why do I need to take a class for it?”

Yes, you can definitely give birth without a class, but how will your experience be? As some would say, it’s not the destination that matters but the journey itself.

Birth classes are much more than a class that helps you to learn to give birth. It’s a class that helps you in the transition of being a mother. Birth class prepares you not only physically but mentally. Birth class gives you the best start to this long journey. It’s a class where you will gain a friend and a supporter.

Does a birth class sound like it’s worth the investment now? ☺️❤️
