When I joined this course, my purpose was very clear: I wanted to achieve a natural birth after having two C-sections. Alhamdulillah, as the course progressed, I learned so much about my body, its natural needs, hormonal changes, and how birth is truly an act of worship. I also learned the importance of nutrition, exercise, mental preparation, and creating a birth plan.One of the best decisions I made was choosing my doctor wisely from the very first appointment. Alhamdulillah, she was also a strong supporter of natural birth and helped me a lot throughout this journey. I guided my support person, my husband, about interventions and everything I learned in this course, and that support helped me greatly during labor.With all these preparations, I became mentally ready for everything — the natural pain, the slow progress of labor, and the emotional journey of childbirth. Alhamdulillah, by the will and help of Allah SWT, I finally achieved my VBA2C without induction, epidural, or artificial hormones. It was almost a completely natural birth.The process was slow and very painful, but after the birth and transition phase, I felt like I had won the greatest battle. Alhamdulillah, with the help of Allah, my doctor, and my husband’s support, it became the most beautiful day of my life. I never experienced this level of happiness in my previous two C-sections. This time, my birth and postpartum experience felt completely different and deeply special.Throughout this journey, I constantly remembered Allah SWT and trained my mind to believe that Allah has perfectly designed my body for birth. I also remembered the story of Maryam (AS). During labor, we played Surah Rahman, which brought me so much peace and comfort.At the end, with the help and support of my doctor, I was able to follow my birth plan. She respected my preferences and choices even more than I expected, and I truly appreciate that. My doctor, Dr. Nausheen Rizwan, will always remain in my prayers. Dr. Umm Maryam also guided me throughout labor, and I remember her in my prayers as well.Alhamdulillah for everything. I am truly happy and grateful for this beautiful experience.Best wishes and prayers for all mothers preparing for a peaceful and positive natural birth journey.
