Prayers for my would-be baby

I'm glad to announce that I'm soon going to be blessed with a child inshAllah. My wife is already 40 weeks pregnant, and will be admitted to the hospital on Thursday night inshAllah. There is one tiny issue though. We are not sure if she's going to have a normal delivery as the baby hasn't descended yet, and so the doctor is proposing that labor is induced.

So far, my wife hasn't had any labor pains. The doctor says inducing labor now will have more likelihood of the delivery being normal. Otherwise, the more you delay it, the more the chances of c-section. So, Alhamdulillah everything has been normal till now, the baby is healthy, the wife is fine, the only obstacle being the absence of labor and the baby's descent.

I request all of you that you keep me and my wife in your prayers that she has a normal delivery, and both the mother and child are healthy at the end of it all. Also, that the child grows up to become a true Muslim and a source of sadkaa-e-jaaria for his parents and grandparents.

This is our first child so both of us are very nervous. Plus, next month marks our first wedding anniversary. Pray that our marriage is blessed with Allah's blessings and mercy. Ameen.

May Allah give you a righteous and healthy baby. May Allah keep your wife healthy at the end of the labor. Ameen!

Congratulations! Best wishes to you all!

Congratulations and may God give your wife a good delivery, a healthy baby, and a speedy recovery!

MashaAllah brother. Such a blessing!

May Allah make it easy for your wife to conceive and may Allah make you an exemplary father for your child. May he bless your family with kindness and happiness and may Allah make your child the pleasure of your hearts. May Allah make your child the best and most pious of people and grant you and your family Jannatul Firdaus.

Congrats bro, are you going to teach ur baby to call u daddy?

Masha Allah. I am glad to hear it. May Allah ease the proccess of the birth of your baby. May Allah give more barokah to your family.

First parents, masha Allaah you will do fine in sha Allaah. This little bundle will thrive on your love and attention, and will teach you how to look after him/her. From the very set you fall in love with them. May Allaah look after your wife and baby before and after birth,and in sha Allaah may he/she carry the light of goodness,everything else will fall into place..

Alhamdulillah ! May Allah give you a righteous child !

sorry for being late

Thanks a lot all of you for your prayers, wishes, and kind words.

My wife delivered the most beautiful child I've ever seen Alhamdulillah. And on top of it, the baby happened to be a girl which doubled my joy. I was highly inclined towards a daughter, but was somehow convinced that my first child will be a boy. Alhamdulillah, Allah has blessed me with happiness that words cannot contain and actions cannot explain.

The only minus point of the entire moment was that my wife had to go through a c-section. I was highly against it considering this was our first child, but ultimately we were left with no option but to go for it when the baby pooped in her mother's womb while the mother was on oxytocin dosage. I was quite divided about whether or not to go for the operation. The baby hardly descended and that thinned the chances a normal delivery even more. Allah gave the decision to the baby itself who compelled us to go for it by, literally, shitting.

SubhanAllah, I was quite sad when my wife was being taken to the operation theater and I joined her in there. My worries were at an all-time high, but as soon as I heard the cry of my child, it was the happiest moment of my life, Alhamdulillah. I even forgot to ask the doc if it was a boy or a girl, and when I asked, I actually screamed with happiness when she told me it was a girl. I was so overjoyed that an endless torrent of tears started shedding from my eyes, and I had no control over it. That little human which Allah blessed me with today is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, and, perhaps, will ever see. Alhamdulillah. SubhanAllah. MashAllah.

My mom and my mom-in-law tried to get the baby to suck a date dipped in honey, and watching those miniscule lips holding a date between them was something exceedingly cute and gorgeous.

I thank you all again for your kind words, but my request for prayers won't end here as my wife needs your prayers now for recovering from the operation. Alhamdulillah, she's doing fine, but she still has stitches to deal with. Also, the first delivery being a c-section, we have no idea how many more kids we will be able to have in the future. Please pray for us that it doesn't stand in the way of me and my wife of having a flourishing family.

I just took it as another statement from just another celebrity when Roger Federer said that "being a father is the best feeling in the world", now I understand and connect with every bit of it.

I plan to christen the child either Aasiya or Aaliya. What do you people think? Got better suggestions?

salamz bro, congrats!!!
may Allah make her a joy for u and ur loved ones,
at last some good news

Amat Allah sounds beautiful
