Gentle birth
This is preparation for the birth you want, starting before pregnancy and continuing through it. I work as your birth guardian, on the basis that with the right preparation and the right environment you can do this. We plan each step together, and the choices stay yours. Water birth is welcome here.
Healthy obstetrics
You are in charge of your birth. I keep you and your baby safe with maternal-fetal medicine, the field I trained in at the University of Tennessee, and I intervene only when it is truly needed. The rest of the time the birth stays centered on you.
Birth guardianship and doula work
I accompany you and your partner through preparing for a natural birth, water birth included, and through the first weeks with a newborn. Practical preparation, for your body, your home and the two of you.
Natural and water birth
Birth can be natural, and it can be a good experience for you and your partner. Water is an option here.
Modern medicine is built around what goes wrong, and loses sight of the healthy, amazing abilities of the body. Every couple finds its own way back to trusting the body. What they need is someone to remind them of their choices, of how to prepare, and of their right to ask, before any procedure, why it is offered and whether it can wait.
For years I 'delivered' babies the way other obstetricians do. Then I understood that birth is something else. The birth belongs to the woman giving birth, and the medical practitioner is there to assist only when needed.
'Babies are not pizzas!' I work with you as both gynecologist and birth guardian. The medicine keeps you and your baby safe. The doula work prepares your body, your home and you, for the birth you want, natural or in water.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Souha to any woman seeking outstanding gentle and respectful care.
Nadiya, two natural water births
