    Natural Twin Birth at 40+2 - Umm Abdillah

    S01 E14
    01:24:10

    A long awaited upload for this podcast with a very special guest speaker. (Actual recording date 31.10.22) It gets busy when you’re deeply and actively involved in the Muslim Birthworld and it’s stories like these that make it all that bit more worthwhile. Umm Abdillah brings us her triumphant birth story of her twin girls whom she birthed naturally, intervention free, at 40 weeks + 2 days! Pretty much unheard of these days to reach beyond 35 weeks for a spontaneous birth with twins, let alone ‘full term’! And even rarer to hear of women birthing twins vaginally but I won’t spill the beans … Tune in to find out how she absolutely aced her birth. (Grab refreshments cos it’s a long one 💛)
