السلام عليكم

I am a revert sister and I have been blessed with a beautiful family, Alhamdulillah.

Even though I keep up with my daily religious duties, I find myself a bit far from Allah as I get caught with the daily routine, and I was hoping to hear tips or advices from people who have been in a similar situation. Before I was a mother, I could sit and watch podcasts, read books and seek knowledge, but now I barely have time for myself..

I miss having a high emaan and feeling the sweetness of the prayers; I find that whenever my emaan is low I easily become anxious and I know that the only way that my heart will be free of worries and anxieties and at rest is by feeling close to Allah 🥹💔

Thank you all for your time

Hello all 💗

I will be 2 under 2 just for a month, but I thought I’d ask how’s the experience the first couple of months!

I’m due in September and my son will be 23 months. He currently sleeps in his room around 10/11PM until 9AM and sometimes wakes up around 4/5AM to bring him to my bed. I weaned him just 2 months ago.

I’m currently worried about sleeping at night and how to deal with waking up every 2 hours for the newborn and having to be up for the toddler from 9 AM until his 2PM nap.. (he doesn’t go to daycare and he is at home all day with me, I currently keep him entertained myself as I don’t allow him to use electronics devices, maybe TV for under an hour) 🥲

My mum will be staying with us for 1.5 months to help out, but she will eventually return to her home and it will be me! 😅

My husband will surely help but he works from around 6 AM to 2 PM.

We have housemaids to help with cooking and cleaning but having them look after children is not an option I would consider!

I look forward to hearing your experiences and advices! 💖

Hello all,

I am 22 weeks pregnant with my second, my first was a category 1 emergency due to fetal distress after a long induction and I barely made it to 4 cm 🙂

I will be going for a repeat cesarean as I feel it’s the best and safest option for us and the pregnancy/delivery care in our country is beyond amazing.

I am just a little nervous and I would like to hear how did it go for those with a repeat cesarean and what made you not try for a VBAC.

I am a SAHM and don’t need to worry about housechores or anything which is a relief, but I want to be as available as possible for my toddler (he will be 2 by the time I give birth 🥹). My mum will be staying with us for month and a half after I give birth to help out with him and I also have my in-laws next door.

Any tips for good healing? (I know it is not really in my hand but I would love to be able to have 2 or 3 more children in the future).

The doctor told me it’s just a matter of telling me if it’s okay or not after each surgery. Here it is common for women to have around 5-6 cesareans and our maternal mortality rate is amongst the lowest in the world.

The reason I’m against a VBAC is because there is a chance of another emergency cesarean which I want to avoid at all costs.. 😭

Looking forward to your positive stories!
