Dear Sister,
ReplyDeleteAs Salaam alaikum
My name is Yvonne Insh (sister zaynab)
I am a retired UK mdiwife, trainee doula and an IBCLC. I am now trying to set up classes/discussion groups inspire and support siters in natural childbirth and breastfeeding in the islamic tradition at the Al-Muntada Al-Islami TrustAl-Muntada Al-Islami Trust london been able to find loads of resources for non muslim community but very little appropriate for the muslim community eg childbirth relaxation tapes and scripts without music. would you be willing to share your lesson texts/curriculm and any other learning resources from your Natural Childbirth in Islam mini series? I would be happy to pay for any fees for resources and copywrite. Sister I am new at this so please forgive me if I am approaching you in a wrong manner.
your sincerely,
yvonne insh

Asalaamu alaykum! Is there anyway I can Skype in or get recordings of this series? Alhamdulliah I am recently pregnant and looking for a class just like this.
ReplyDeleteSalam alaykum, I live too far to attend the classes (UAE...) but I very happy that finally some sisters took the time to educate their sisters in natural childbirth in Islam. Unfortunatly it is very rare. Please is there a content of the classes in articles that I can read?
ReplyDeleteThank you
I know this is 5 years ago, any online books/resources that can be accessed...it is still needed n crucial for the muslimah
