The First State's First Muslim Midwife

Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim

We are excited to announce that Aisha Al Hajjar is now a licensed home birth midwife in the State of Delaware! Delaware just recently legalized midwifery and she is proud to be amongst the first to receive her license. Even more exciting is that she is the first Muslim home birth midwife in the state! 

Delaware is known as "The First State" so Aisha is "The First State's First Muslim Midwife." With this development, Aisha has committed to spending significant time in Delaware to provide natural birth support to the women of Delaware, and perhaps in the future to nearby states. Meanwhile, she is keeping her ties in Saudi Arabia as a Saudi Midwifery Group Board Member to also continue her goals of establishing holistic midwifery there.

Aisha is excited to be able to serve Muslims and non Muslims alike with AMANI Birth preparation classes, prenatal, labor and birth, and postpartum care. She will also serve as a doula in Delaware for those mothers who choose to brith in the hospital. 

You can also check out the new FaceBook Group, "Meet Delaware's First Muslim Midwife." Please help us spread the word so that our Muslim sisters in Delaware are aware of their options to birth at home with Sister Aisha.
