1 month ago by dr_shahira It took me 7 months to finally feel 'back-to-normal' - after all the allergy/appointment/India trip and health, career issues. Alhamdulilah. I frankly feel it was my toddler who bore the brunt of all the changes. So trying to make it up to her and overcome my 'mom-guilt'. ...for now, its all about - beach, playing, park, beach cycling, colouring, painting and some more beach. The current doha weather is perfect for the beach! For mom's of two and more- when did you start feeling normal/back to old routine after the transition? #alkhor
5 months ago by dr_shahira Regular Indian floor mats for the win - since they are big so baby can roll as much as they want. . Day naps are so hard of late which means absolutely nothing gets done around the house. Just sit with baby + toddler and photograph baby from all angles. (toddler doesn't sit still for a photograph anymore) . To all the new people around here - Hello and how are you doing? Happy weekend!
5 months ago by dr_shahira ' I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle' - Van Gogh Guess what she is excitedly looking at ?! :D (more in stories) Featuring the @bumpadum Neo Newborn CD - a very cute and functional investment for newborns.

5 months ago by dr_shahira A year ago...my daughter enjoying the rains of a quiet monsoon season. Monsoon is usually a season which people look forward to with much joy and which culminates in the traditional harvest festival, Onam. This year was a different story altogether. It brought with itself much misery and destruction. ....but we shall rise again and we shall overcome. #KeralaFloods #KeralaFloods2018 #Ourfinesthour #Weshallovercome #KeralaRelief #RebuildKerala #DoForKerala
6 months ago by dr_shahira Kerala - a state in South India - is reeling from one of the worst floods in its history. Heavy rains continue until at least next 48 hours. 33 out of 39 dams have been opened. Rivers are overflowing. Death numbers are increasing. My heart aches. Please keep our people in your duas. Ya Allah, protect our land from the trials with water. Please get in touch with your local Indian community and donate in any form or manner you can. (Have shared a few donation links in stories) .

7 months ago by dr_shahira All through my first pregnancy, I read about the different phases and aspects of pregnancy. Mainly on apps and online articles. Baby centre app was my favourite. I did not read a thing about labour and delivery itself - out of fear mostly. So as soon as I got to know about my second pregnancy, I went on a reading spree. This time I went back to books and journals instead of apps and online articles. I read mainly about labour, the different stages, delivery, all the interventions usually done in a hospital setting - the pros and cons. About cascade of interventions. The right nutrition, diet and exercise needed during pregnancy. About pain management and how to relax myself during that vulnerable period. Ina May's Guide to Childbirth and Hypnobirthing by Marie Mongan were my favourite books. Towards the end, I used to carry this small pouch* wherever I went. I wanted these little tidbits with me when I went into labour. Including my birth plan and affirmation cards (available on blog) Well, Fun fact 1 - Al Khor Hospital doesn't allow anything in the labour room. Not even a mobile phone Fun fact 2 - I escaped from
