- Salaam everyone, I’m sure a few of you may have guessed, but for the rest of you - SURPISEEEEE, your girl is a whole mother now Alhamdulillah Allahumabarik 🥹 I filmed this at 38 weeks pregnant and feeling huge and ready for baby to be here - little did I know it had a couple of weeks to go and an intense and scary birth experience ahead - but Alhamdulillah baby is healthy and well and I am getting there slowly but surely 🫶🏼 if you could keep us in your duas, that would be hugely appreciated 🥰
As I mentioned in this video, I documented a fair amount of my pregnancy expeience and will be uploading the videos here over the next few months. Whilst I’m looking forwards to sharing my honest and raw experience, I totally understand if this type of content is triggering or upsetting for anyone and you want to unsubscribe - the last thing I’d want is to upset anyone by sharing my journey ❤️🩹.

Ameen ameen thumma ameen!!!!! THANKYOU MY LOVELY SIS 🥹🥹🥹 such a beautiful and kind message, sending you soooo much love and duas!!!
Iqra, I’m glad I’m the first one here- can I just let you know how overjoyed I am for you!

May Allah always keep your family safe and filled with love and happiness❤ you deserve it all, Allahuma barik laha xxx would loveeeee to see baby content and mama content, everything is exciting!
🥹🥹🥹 my lovely sis Thankyou sooo much 😘♥️♥️ I was in two minds about not sharing the pregnancy but the amount of anxiety I was feeling especially at the start I realised myself that I needed to keep it to myself and only share after if it was written ♥️♥️ ameen to your beautiful beautiful duas and I’m sooo glad you’re looking forwards to the pregnancy content, I know it’s defo not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s such an exciting and raw new chapter I just had to document 🥹🥰♥️♥️♥️
Also don’t blame you for not sharing this bc nazar is such a real thing! Ma sha Allah x million! How is motherhood? Sis I can not wait to see this journey and your updates 🥹🤍
Awwh Thankyou my lovely sis it’s been so nice that everyone’s understood - I was in 2 minds initially about sharing but in hindsight having that precious 9 months to myself totally was definitely the best thing! Motherhood is beautiful - especially after the first 12 days of excruciating pain and recovery ❤️🩹 I was on about 20 pills a day for that time and baby blues were strong and real, so was the mum guilt for not being able to do anything other than feed my baby, but Alhamdulillah with Waqaar and mum and family to support we got through it did and now Alhamdulillah I’m feeling 30% like my old self, on far less pain killers and done with antibiotics etc. I know I’m only at the start of this journey but soo grateful for feeling that bit better 🥹 Alhamdulillah ♥️
This is so beautiful Iqra❤️ I am so proud of you. Sending all of my love to you and your family. ❤️❤️Congratulations! I can’t wait to see you blossom into motherhood and I am of course here for the content!!
Kaycia Thankyou sooo much 🥹♥️♥️♥️ I can’t believe I got through the birth I did honestly and the recovery has been so much worse than I could have anticipated, but everyday I’ve felt 2% better than almost 2 weeks in I’m able to stand without wincing too much and just feeling a bit more like me! You’re so lovely, hoping 2024 is a beautiful year for us all 😘🥰♥️♥️♥️
Aww Masha’Allah!

Ameen thumma ameen! Thankyou so much my lovely sis for such a kind and thoughtful message - Alhamdulillah baby is doing well, my recovery has been so much tougher than I could have anticipated but Alhamdulillah the light at the end of the tunnel is here and I’m finally not in excruciating pain or having to take insane painkillers to get through each day 😅 sending you lots of love, hope you and your family are well I’a! ♥️
Ahhh man 🥹🥹 allahuma barik, I’m only 3 mins in (and you being out of breath but not doing anything is really bringing me back to pregnancy hahaha) but again congrats 🥹🩵 you will be amazing parents! I hope baby you and baby are doing well. May Allah make it easy for you and may baby girl be the coolness of your eye and your key to jannah, Ameen 🫶🏽
Ameen thumma ameen! Thankyou so much Monique you’re such an inspiration for me with 2 bubbas and m’a you make it look easy 🥹♥️ haha the out of breath, the swelling, the extra preggo weight 😅 Alhamdulillah Amaani is doing well and I’m slowly recovering, didn’t expect post birth to be this painful and long but Alhamdulillah painkillers are being reduced by the day which is an encouraging sign 🥹♥️
@@TheBlushingGiraffe thank you 🥹❤️ it’s no easy task but such a blessing alhamdulillah! You look great 😅 mashaAllah I actually would’ve never even had an inkling you were pregnant if you never told us!
Yh, 4th trimester is rough 🫣 felt like I would never physically recover haha and tbh I still haven’t fully and Zak’s almost 2 and a half 😳 will keep you all in my duas inshaAllah ❤️
Ma sha Allah!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 allahumma Barik!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Awwh Thankyou my lovely! Alhamdulillah ♥️♥️♥️
Mashallah, many many congratulaions lovely! 🎉 great news alhamdullilah. Hope both mama & baby are well 💝 make the most of it whilst it last as time flies!! I had mines in 2021 & now she is 2 and a half mashallah xx
Awwh Thankyou sis! I know everyone keeps saying this time is tough but flies by super fast🥹 Alhamdulillah baby is well, my recovery took a lot longer than I anticipated still on strong painkillers but the last 3 days have been a blessing cos I’ve felt like myself 30% more and been able to enjoy the small things 😅♥️
I'm glad to hear that. Just take each day as it comes and try & not put put too much pressure on yourself! Most importantly, try and take time out for yourself whenever you can & dont be hesitant in asking for help as sometimes being an first time mum we assume we have to do everything ourselves xx
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉so happy for you , Allahumma Baarik.
May Allah fill your lives with happiness, peace and prosperity, Ameen 🤲🏼
Ameen thumma Ameen! Thankyou sooo much my lovely sis 😘♥️♥️
Congratulations 🎉🎉
Thankyou so much! 🫶🏼♥️
Mubarak to you and your husband, may Allah swt be with you every step of the way into your journey into parenthood, may Allah swt bless you and your beautiful with Afiyah ameen
Ameen thumma ameen! What beautiful duas my sis I appreciate them so much thankyou 🥹♥️♥️
M.A congratulations
Thankyou lovely 🥰
Salam, allahumma barik!
Just wondering whether you know your work plans for after baby?
Im in a similar position, on supply but due with my first in March alhamdulillah. I havent completed my 2 ECT years though so dont know what to do!?
Congratulations on your little love i’a I pray the rest of your pregnancy goes well and you have a safe smooth delivery Ameen! I personally am not planning to go back to teaching in the next two years, the cost of childcare is just not worth it and I don’t have close family near by who can take care of baby while I work - for your situation sis I’d speak to someone who can advise you on this maybe google teachers advisory board or something along those lines and see what the options are. If you do have family support for childcare it could be that you’d be allowed to complete your ECT part time after maternity leave? I’a you’ll figure out a route that works for you ♥️♥️♥️
@TheBlushingGiraffe jazakallah khair and ameen. Tbh I'm not sure I want to go back. Moved from family for hubby's job and don't trust childcare haha
Complete respect your decision and baby will benefit so much iA from your presence! Being a mother is everything and more!
