Siti Afidah's accidental homebirth of her second baby

Picture
"I couldn't stand properly because at that time I felt the baby's head down very low already. I kept thinking how am I going to the car, I can't even sit or stand now...I tried to breath out the baby and my husband held the baby's head once it was out... and with just another push the baby just splashed out. And I heard a cry from the baby...I turned around and saw the baby blinking her eyes. Can't describe the feeling and how I thanked Allah for such a beautiful princess, beautiful moment."


- Siti Afidah, second time mother

Rene's simple homebirth of her first baby

Picture
"Throughout the labour, hubby was reassuring me that I was doing well, and that women are amazing, and that baby is near. At about 3pm I reached down and felt a small balloon-like thing. Was it the head? The sac? I don’t remember membranes releasing so it must be the sac. Baby’s near! I was encouraged"

Haida's triumphant vaginal birth after cesarean

Picture
"When I felt the head, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I began to push so that I could get my baby out. Within a few minutes, the baby came out.  No sound coming out from him, he didn't cry at all. My hubby kept on saying “ Yang, anak kita, anak kita,” and I slowly turned to both of them. DH was holding this little baby, covered in vernix, staring at us. It was like a dream, a beautiful dream."

The surprise unassisted & calm birth of Sasha's second baby

Picture
"I was resolute in not going into the hospital too early again this time around. Thinking that I would first labour in our bathtub, I started running myself a bath. I lit some candles and climbed into the warm waters. I felt calm and collected as I closed my eyes and focused on my breathing. Suddenly, the ‘surges’ changed and I started feeling an intense push downwards.... ‘I don’t think we’ll make it.  I think she’s coming now’..."


- Sasha, a second-time mom who was pleasantly surprised that the HypnoBirthing techniques worked too well!

Elgin's unassisted homebirth

Picture
When I first met third-time German mom Elgin and her husband, I was awestruck with their way of life. They left the modernity of Germany to live a simple self-sustaining life here in a village outside KL. They had already decided on an unassisted birth and was just attending classes to learn some techniques. Attachment parenting, homeschooling and unassisted birthing parents, their philosophy on life in general - about going back to the simplicity of nature, I would say, certainly helped in their achieving a beautiful birth experience for their third addition to the family.

Afidah's quick and easy homebirth

Picture
Afidah was in the first class I ever gave. A soft-spoken but sprightly mom, she moved the rest of the class when she recounted her traumatic first birth experience. At the same time she evoked admiration in us with her steely resolve to make her next birth a better one. This is her story of her triumphant second birth.

Adibah's peaceful "office" birth

Picture
Adibah's birth story is unique as it was done in the privacy of her husband's office! With just her husband and her. After having a disappointing first birth, she knew there was a better way to birth her second baby. Adibah is a very active member in the birth community and I am so lucky to see her blossom into a strong birth advocate.
