“A woman in birth 
is at once her most powerful, and most vulnerable.

But any woman who has birthed unhindered understands that we are stronger than we know.”

 – Marcie Macari

Birth Stories
This collection of birth stories has been put together with permission from the mothers and fathers who wanted to share their moments of empowerment, triumph, joy and love in welcoming their babies earthside. 

Some of these stories include births that happened too fast - where the mother did not arrive at the hospital in time for the baby to be born. This is not uncommon with HypnoBirthing mothers. They are usually so relaxed and confident, that their births can sometimes happen very fast. In these instances the mother and father know that the best thing to do is stay calm, and call for medical help once the situation has stabilized. 

DISCLAIMER: **HypnoBirthing or AMANI birth does NOT advocate unassisted births** 
​
It is with deep gratitude and humility that I share these personal accounts. My hope is that others will be inspired by these parents' sheer determination and love to provide their babies with the best start in life and provide themselves with a smooth transition into parenthood (no matter which number baby they are having).

May Allah swt reward you and bless you with loving and upright children, who will heal our world with compassion and kindness. Ameen.

Note: *I am looking for stories of mothers who despite all their best efforts had to have surgery. Please contact me if you would like to include your story here :)
