'Faridas undivided support during the birth of our daughter Amal, has left me praying for her everyday'
Farida was there for me in ways that I cannot describe, from knowledge about birth to the full one to one support, I know I could not have done this without her. She was with me through the braxton hicks supporting me with her beautiful touch, and even stayed on the phone with me during the early contractions. I just don’t know how she stood by me for all those hours. Even my doctors said that the support I had helped me with achieving a shorter labor for my first child. For this, I will be indebted to her forever.
