Testimonials
"I seriously don't know where to begin. SubhaanAllah how Merciful is Allah to have allowed me to meet my doula and have her there at my birth. Wallahi so many times I thought about giving up and Allah SWT strengthened me through her presence. As I lay my head on her chest or her shoulder I could only feel at peace and it allowed my heart rate to go steady whenever I'd get anxious. How can I ever repay her for that. May Allah swt ease her affairs in this dunyah and akhirah. May He grant her comfort like she gave it to me and may He reward her for every push I pushed when I thought I can't anymore. I hope to always stay in contact with her regardless of pregnancy or not!"
"I just want to say thank you to both of my doulas for all their support but honestly no matter how much I write, it would never truly be enough to explain my appreciation and my thankfulness for having them both with me and for every single second they gave to me. They both went above and beyond for me and gave me wayyyy more than what I was expecting. Their support from the get go was so amazing and their genuine care and guidance made me feel so safe and reassured through the whole experience. Although my birth didn't go 100% to plan, I have no regrets whatsoever and that fact the end goal of a natural labour (VBA2C!) was successful makes everything else worth it. They are both so amazing in what they do and I'm not being bias because I'm the one that gave birth, both the midwives could not stop talking about them. Midwife 1 said they are the best doulas she has ever come across and she hopes to work with them again, and Midwife 2 said the exact same thing. My husband is their number one fan and he has been telling his mate to get a doula for his pregnant wife! Lol! I love them both for the sake of Allah and I ask Allah to strengthen them both in their work and bless them and their families."
"I love my doula so much, Alhumdulillah even though it didn't go exactly to plan, she still made the entire experience better than the last and this birth is worth remembering, thanks to her I was able to be proud of my accomplishments and was able to consciously give birth to my daughter. Alhumdulillah I am so thankful and may Allah SWT reward my doula immensely and her family also."
"I had the pleasure of using Umm Omar's birth support throughout my 3rd pregnancy and labour. It was such a blessing to have someone who was looking after my rights as a birthing mother and had my best interests in mind at all times. It was a comfort and a relief to have a confident and God fearing sister throughout the event. She also followed up with bubs the days that followed and was my transport to and from the hospital. I would highly recommend her services not just to first time mums but to all mums who really would like their next birth to be a much nicer and memorable experience."
"My experience with Umm Omar was so beautiful, I can't imagine now, how I ever birthed without her.
She was very professional but it wasn't impersonal. She made me feel comfortable and always checked up on me during the pregnancy which made me feel special that I had someone monitoring me with real concern. If I needed to ask her about any concerns I had she always answered me and reassured me during my worrying times. During my labour she constantly reminded me of Allah and made me comfortable, she made sure my rights at the hospital were met and anything I didn't want or was uncomfortable with she dealt with it and then returned to ease the environment. She gave me endless support and care. After I gave birth she made sure my baby and I were well and had all we needed. This was the best birth I've had from my 4 births. She made sure everything was followed according to Islam. My well being as a mother was totally looked after. I'm truly grateful to Allah for sending me her. I love her dearly and will inshaa'Allah have her with me for all future births."
“I loved having her there. Everything seemed to run so much more smoothly with her. She was always there to comfort me at stressful times. I know I have got someone there to support me if I ever need it and that is extremely comforting. I feel like the bond between a doula and mother is so special and it is a life-long relationship. I know having my doula beside me will give me peace of mind and also give me the strength to get though any situation I may face before, during and after birth.”
“An absolutely beautiful soul, she was so comforting and caring. I later realised she took care of so many things behind the scenes, she was so in tune, I am so grateful she was a part of my birth.”
“Alhamdulillah, my doulas calm and comforting presence made all the difference in my birth. Her support nurtured me to be able to embrace my birth in a way I never knew I was capable of, I love her so much, may Allah bless her and protect her Ameen.”
“My doula was amazing, more than I expected. Very supportive!”
“My birth experience with my doula was amazing! Every time I think of it I smile. It was perfect. Her support was perfect. Thank you.”
“Puts one’s mind and heart at ease knowing there is someone there who has you and your baby's best interests in mind at all times.”
“Allaahumma barek I really enjoyed my birth and I can't wait to do it again.”
“I felt like a doula is your voice when you cannot speak, your hand when you're out of reach. I built a relationship with the doula where I felt I could trust her to act on my behalf, giving me the space I needed when I needed it and when in need she was there for me. The most perfect birth experience, Alhumdillah. Being informed and supported by a doula of your rights as a birthing mother, gave me reassurance, confidence and faith to do it on my own.”
“I've had a very supportive, amazing sister (tabarakAllah) as my doula for both of my births, it was the biggest blessing that Allah had given me the chance twice to have the support, islamically through sisterhood, rulings etc., physically by being completely hands on, and emotionally as a friend/sister to give me comforting words and supporting me to successfully birth my baby. Alhamdulillah.”
”She was everything I could have asked for and more. I felt fully supported, which made me feel confident and safe. Love her to bits!”
“I was guided through the birth plan and learnt so many new things and found a big difference in labour with doula guidance and advice, to one without.”
“The best thing I ever had. It helped me so much.”
“Advice I received by the sister was extremely beneficial, I felt more prepared for labour and was much more aware of my rights as a pregnant Muslim woman. The sister constantly reassured me, eased my worries and adequately addressed every question I directed at her. Her advice was absolutely priceless. I will definitely recommend this doula to other pregnant women.”
“I loved every step of it. I had so much support from my doula and had a very good experience, and I would definitely recommend other pregnant sisters to have a doula.”
“I had such a positive birth experience because I felt so comfortable and at ease greatly due to the emotional and physical support of my doula. I felt everyone at my daughter’s birth played a role and the role of the doula is a unique role that only I experienced from the doula. Without her there it would not have been the same.”
“My doula was amazing during my birth even though I didn't have the birth I had planned for she fully supported me and my choices.”
“I never thought I'd feel comfortable having anyone in the birthing room with me but my doula was lovely. She took care of everything I needed without me asking and gave me all the space I needed. She made me feel so calm and comfortable with her gentle touch and her understanding of my needs. She did so much for me but did so in a way that I'd forget she was even there. Like a super hero in the shadows. I'm very blessed to have had her. Even though things didn't go to plan she helped me realise that it's OK.”
“I had such a positive experience and all my needs and wants were met. I have had a doula for both my births and will continue to for future births. I recommend my doula to everyone I know.”
“Priceless... I would not have been in the positive state I was in without my doula.”
“I feel nothing less than gratitude and satisfaction with my experience of having a doula attend my birth. I had a beautiful and memorable birth. Having my emotional, physical and environmental needs valued and facilitated for me at a delicate and vulnerable time has left me feeling loved and valued. I will definitely be considering the same support if I am blessed
with another pregnancy.”
"My birth experience with my doula was amazing! Every time I think of it I smile. It was perfect. Her support was perfect. Thank you."
"I would like to say a big THANK YOU for all your support you have given me. I never knew how much a doula would benefit me. I recommend you for all women during and after pregnancy and birth. Thank you for your help and support :)"
"Although I had only met my doula 2 weeks prior to my due date, my experience of birth wouldn't have been the same without her. I was afraid of going into labour and afraid of the pain, and I had forgotten about all the good things. My doula reminded me of the positives labour has to bring you. I have never been so confident and trusting in my body until I was truly convinced by her that birth was simply about me and my baby. Without her I could have seen myself opening up to any drugs offered, an induced labour and if worse came to worse, even a caesarean. I didn't know any of my rights or options or what was going to happen. I am so lucky and blessed to have had her during the time I was giving birth; we worked so well as a team which made things a lot easier for me. I had rarely any, if none at all interventions, and I couldn't believe how well I was taking the whole situation. When you have someone like a doula reassuring you that this is natural and normal, and having her help you mentally and physically, it’s an amazing experience, not only did she work well with me, but with my husband and my mother. She was checking to see if they were alright, how beautiful. In having a non-traumatic labour it makes me feel a lot more connected with my baby, and my husband. I wouldn't have had it any other way. My doula has such a pure heart and she doesn't work for you, she works with you as best she can. I’ve never felt more supported in my life; I wouldn't change it for anything. Being pregnant and giving birth is such an amazing and beautiful experience and you want it to be a good memory. Having a doula really helped my birth experience be one I could happily remember, and not be afraid to go into a second time, with her by my side. I truly recommend a doula for any woman who is pregnant… I had her for 2+ weeks before my birth; I couldn't imagine how much more I would have benefited if she was there for the whole 9 months!"
"It was a pleasure having a doula at the birth of my son Nuh. The whole doula birthing experience gave me a new perspective on labour and the opportunity to bond with my newborn son in a way I wasn't able to with my 2 other children. My doula informed me of my rights and ensured my needs and dream birth was implemented as closely as possible. One would think that after 2 children I would know it all but I was so wrong. I gave my son the best start in life just by having my doula by my side. My only regret is not knowing about doulas for my other two pregnancies. I had innumerable benefits and above all made a new friendship to last many years to come. JazakAllahu Khayran."
"I never knew how beneficial having a doula would be.. I just had my 5th baby and needed as much support as I was going to attempt a VBA2C. From the start my doula was so supportive and always very positive. She was on call 24/7 which made things so easy in case I needed any advice. In the end I ended up having cesarean and my doula was with me the entire day. I honestly would have been an emotional wreck without her. I will definitely hire her again with my 6th."
"My dearest friends baby passed away at 6 weeks of age, so having a baby was a scary and emotional time for me. My doula's ongoing help throughout the whole pregnancy and even afterwards was just what I needed. She helped me become the loving, caring, strong mother I have always wanted to be. Her presence is beautiful, so peaceful and calming, and that was exactly what I was looking for in a doula. I cannot thank her enough for all the help and support she has given me and my husband, and the support she is still giving me at 7 weeks postpartum. She will always be remembered and in our hearts, as she was by my side as my little angel entered the world."
“I feel nothing less than gratitude and satisfaction with my experience of having a doula attend my birth. I had a beautiful and memorable birth.
