Two pairs of Crocs.
One labour ward.
A whole spectrum of women’s health. 💚💗

From antenatal care to labour, from theatre to recovery ; these shoes carry the realities of obstetrics and gynaecology every single day.

They’ve stood beside birth plans, navigated unexpected turns, supported surgical care, and celebrated new life ; all while holding space for women at every stage of their journey.

Sometimes it’s the small, quiet details that tell the bigger story.
Care. Precision. Teamwork. And a deep respect for every woman we serve.

✨ OB-GYN life ; all the heart, all the commitment, always. ✨

Motherhood changes you ; in ways no mirror can fully capture.
It leaves marks of love, sacrifice, strength and sleepless nights.
A body that has carried life, comforted tiny hearts, and given endlessly is not something to “fix” or compare ; it is something to honour.

When we look at mothers, we don’t see imperfections.
We see courage. We see devotion. We see love in its purest form.

There is no greater title, and no greater blessing, than being a mother. 🤍

A sacred beginning.
In the labour ward, the Islamic call to prayer (Adhān) is softly recited ; marking the very first moments of life. It is a prayer that welcomes a soul into the world.
The same prayer, in its final form, is one day recited by loved ones at the end of life ; a gentle reminder of the full circle of existence.

Between these two prayers lies a lifetime of love, purpose and meaning.

The result of precision care.

This image shows the uterus after an endometrial ablation performed by Dr Latiefa for abnormal uterine bleeding. The procedure targets the uterine lining to reduce heavy bleeding, offering an effective, minimally invasive option for carefully selected patients.

Every decision, every technique and every outcome is guided by experience, attention to detail and a deep respect for women’s health.

When labour doesn’t go as planned, our approach doesn’t change.
We bring the calm with us ; into theatre, into every decision, into every moment.

Birth is unpredictable, and sometimes plans need to adapt. What remains constant is our commitment to safety, clear communication, and emotional support. From the labour ward to theatre, our focus is on creating a space where mothers feel informed, reassured, and cared for ; even when the journey takes an unexpected turn.

Every birth matters.
Every mother deserves calm, confidence, and compassionate care.

Endometrial Ablation – A Treatment Option for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat abnormal uterine bleeding in women who have completed their families.

The procedure works by treating the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) to significantly reduce — and in some cases stop — heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding.

✨ When is it considered?
• Heavy or prolonged periods
• Bleeding that affects quality of life
• When medical treatment hasn’t been effective

✨ Important to know:
• It is not a contraceptive
• Pregnancy after ablation is not recommended
• Careful patient selection is essential

For the right patient, endometrial ablation can be a safe, effective alternative to more extensive surgery, helping women regain comfort and control in their daily lives.

As always, treatment decisions are individualised and made after careful assessment and discussion.

True knot in the umbilical cord

A true knot occurs when the umbilical cord forms an actual knot during pregnancy. In this case, the pregnancy was complicated by intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and signs of fetal hypoxia and distress toward the end of pregnancy.

While a true knot can affect blood flow to the baby, it’s important to know that many true knots never cause harm and are often only discovered at birth.

This is why close antenatal monitoring, growth scans, and careful assessment of fetal wellbeing are so important — they allow us to act early when needed and ensure the safest possible outcome for both mom and baby.

Every pregnancy is unique, and findings like this remind us how vital attentive, individualised care truly is.
