Mama’s last labour was fast, so a quicker birth was expected this time too. With pre-labour pressure the day before, she was admitted already 6 cm dilated. Yet, as the day unfolded, contractions eased despite movement, positioning, bouncing and walking.
With calm, continuous support from doula Raeesah, labour was allowed the time it needed. As evening approached, contractions naturally intensified and progressed into active labour.
Our little prince was welcomed well into the evening through a calm, gentle water birth into the awaiting arms of midwife Ruwaida — a powerful reminder that labour does not follow a timetable. Every labour is unique, unpredictable, and deserves patience and trust.
Postpartum care continued with midwife Princess. As part of the Royal Princess package, mum welcomed a massage and plenty of TLC — because care doesn’t end at birth 🤍
