| [slm] This is from another post: [quote] ... the effect that certain sounds have on the human body eg when you cry out in pain it may be beneficial to the body [/quote] Made me think of labor. Where you a screamer? or what kind of pain management did you use? |

[/quote] Wa'alaikum Assalaam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh Nope Alhumdulilah, I learned from my friend that breathing 'Lamaz' during labor is very important... It does not take away the pain but it helps you to keep control.. At least thats what it did for us... Your Sis n' Islaam Jenna :-) |

| Nope, no screaming here, but quite a bit of moaning and then a whole lot of grunting when the time came to push. ;) |

| [slm] I can also remember the moans and gruntles but for the final push I couldn't have done it without letting out a loud scream! I'm due my second child in about 8 weeks so please remember me in your duas. nisa. |

| [slm] Did you like having your husband in the delivery room? How did you feel about the amount of modesty you possessed with the hospital staff and was your husband concerend with this issue also? |

| Salaam' Alaikum Where you a screamer?<< I think that I did yell when I needed to, b/c I had read during the pregnancy about the benefits of allowing yourself to make the noise that you need to. or what kind of pain management did you use?<< Hydrotherapy... aka a Jacuzzi and a hot shower. What else would the maintainer of the Muslim Mom To Be's Natural Pregnancy and Birth FAQ do? ;) Did you like having your husband in the delivery room?<< Yes. I figured there was no way he was going to avoid it... bwah ha ha ha. How did you feel about the amount of modesty you possessed with the hospital staff and was your husband concerend with this issue also?<< We did not go to a hospital... I personally do not feel it is the best option for Muslim women (or most women, actually). We went to a birthing center that is staffed completely by women. A lot of Muslims and Orthodox Jews use the center precisely b/c of the woman-only atmosphere, and b/c they have learned to understand modesty issues. |

| [slm] Was I a screamer. I don't think so. I don't remember screaming and each time labor was shorter and delivery easier. Was my husband there. Oh yes. With the first, I tried to physically get even with the cause of my pain. Just wanted him to share in our moment :o With the 2nd I was worried about the poor Dr. (2am). When the Dr. arrived he looked like .....Does anyone remember the Red Skeleton show. His skit about the seagulls Gertrude and Hecliff. He looked like Hecilff. :P And then some poor intern, there on mimute out the next ::) Modesty I was so shy through the whole first pregnancy I wouldn't even ask a question involving my body. Hated every check up. In labor they had to force me into that so called grown. When I finally felt the need to push Well I don't remember being overly modest :( |

| [slm] I think it's good to have the husband there at the birth so he can see the pain that we 'mum's' have to go through....and because they are at your head they don't actually see anthing but the baby being lifted out...subhan Allah! I don't know about the US but in the UK we have a Birth Plan in which we can say that we don't want any male's present in the delivery room. Being pregnant always reminds me of the ayah where Mariyam (alay salaam) was in great pain giving birth at the trunk of a palm tree - imagine the pain she must of gone through all alone...but then again...she had Allah with her! " And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree. She cried (in her anguish): "Ah! would that I had died before this! would that I had been a thing forgotten!" But (a voice) cried to her from beneath the (palm-tree): "Grieve not! for thy Lord hath provided a rivulet beneath thee; " [19:23] nisa. |
