EMBRACE THE JOURNEY OF BIRTH - WITH FAITH AND WITHOUT FEAR
An online, self-paced course to help you approach your birth with confidence, using Surah Maryam as a guide.
To the Muslim mom feeling nervous about childbirth...
You’re not alone. Maybe you’ve heard all kinds of stories that make birth sound scary — pain, complications, pain, loss of control and...pain. Honestly? That can be overwhelming. It’s hard to imagine feeling calm and empowered when fear and the thought of pain keeps creeping in.
But what if birth could feel different? What if it could be a beautiful, sacred experience that you face with joy, courage and faith?
I get it. I really do.
I was once where you are.
I'm Fatima Bham Dadabhay, a lawyer and mom to four children ranging in age from 13 years to 2 years.
Fourteen years ago I was newly pregnant and worried about childbirth. At the time I was completing my masters in law at Harvard Law School. I'm a researcher by nature so alongside case law and textbooks, I dug deep into everything I could find about childbirth, including, the story of Maryam (a.s) in the Quran.
After my first two empowered, natural, positive births, I started getting questions from friends and family about how I had had such positive natural birthing experiences amongst a sea of horror stories and c-sections. I realised that all the secrets to a positive birth, everything that had taken me years to learn and implement, was contained within a few verses in Surah Maryam. Consultations with Islamic scholars confirmed this.
In 2016, this course was born. I have been helping women let go of the fear of childbirth and look forward to birth (using Surah Maryam as a guide) for the last nine years.
Since the course was created, I've had two more empowered, positive births.
This course is a culmination of ten years of research and four positive birth experiences.
My interest is in living holistically, and with intention - from marriage, to pregnancy and birth, parenting, educating and Islamic self development. You can see my full offering at www.livewithintention.co.za
You can also read more about my holistic living journey here, or visit my blog or Instagram page to get to know me better.
AYESHA'S STORY
"After having two c-sections I had resigned myself to another c-section for my third baby.
Early on in my pregnancy, however, I came across Positive Birth Through Surah Maryam. I was intrigued and thought I had nothing to lose.
The course was super informative and such an eye-opener. It lead me to research so much more than I had anticipated and took me down a path I never knew I would have to fight so hard for. I ended up having a VBA2C.
Besides my actual birth, the course helped me work through my other births and enabled my mental and emotional preparation which I never knew natural labour required.
Alhamdulillah, I got to experience a natural birth, and even if I didn't, the course was definitely worth it!
I would recommend it 1000%!"

Testimonials
" Fatima, your birth talk changed my life! "
Sadiya Ravat
I don't regret purchasing this course - it gave me such a positive and spiritual outlook on birth, one that I was struggling to find around me when I fell pregnant...The course gives such wonderful insight into birth and shows that with enough research and understanding and guidance, birth does not have to be scary if you're making informed choices. As a Muslim I am so so happy that there is a course available with an Islamic persective. I would recommend this course to each and every expectant mother I come across.
Mariam Daya
"The birth workshop held by Fatima was a game changer for me. I still think about her analogies and anecdotes 3 years later. Fatima proves with science and research how amazing birth can be if we just let it. I would highly highly recommend this to all expecting couples. We loved it."
Tracey Lovell
"Before meeting Fatima the only way I ever thought of birthing my children was via c - section. Natural birth was clouded with an atmosphere of fear. Through her workshops I realised that I was not only excited to try birthing naturally, but also realised the mental and physical preparation that I needed to do."

FAQS
Birth is a natural, God created process.
However, c-section rates around the world are rapidly climbing, and even where women have natural births, they are having traumatic experiences.
Doing my course will help you to understand the physiological process of birth and teache you how to not only achieve a natural birth, but a positive natural birth.
Absolutely! This course is designed to meet you wherever you are in your journey, whether you’re pregnant for the first time or preparing for another birth.
You can go at your own pace. Each module has short, easy-to-follow lessons you can fit around your schedule. You can even listen to the lessons on your phone.
Many of my students are pregnant for the second (or third or fourth etc) time. Some are looking to achieve a vbac. One of my students still found the course useful after doing it in her fifth pregnancy.
This course is aimed at helping mothers achieve a natural birth. Although there is a module on positive c-sections (because sometimes c-sections become necessary), the course is not aimed at moms planning to have c-sections.
