Part 1: From Fear to Confidence: Nada’s Journey to a Positive Birth

In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode of The Positive Birth Corner, host MaryNissi sits down with Nada, a Black and Palestinian registered dietitian, wife, and mom who shares her deeply personal journey through pregnancy, preparation, and birth.

Nada opens up about walking into motherhood with both professional insight and personal fear shaped by her public health background and awareness of maternal health disparities. What unfolds is a story of transformation: from anxiety about becoming a statistic to empowerment through knowledge, advocacy, and an incredible support team.

Together, we reflect on the importance of preparation, partnership, and presence in creating a birth experience that honors both body and spirit. From late-night phone calls and peanut butter sandwiches in early labor to navigating hospital systems and embracing the power of the doula–OB partnership, this conversation captures the real, raw, and redemptive beauty of birth.

This episode reminds us that a positive birth isn’t about perfection it’s about being seen, supported, and secure in your choices.

✨You'll Hear about:

What it’s like to prepare for birth while working in public health
How Nada’s husband became an anchor through fear and uncertainty
The emotional “gray area” after giving birth
Why having a doula changed everything
Laboring at home, hospital transitions, and learning to advocate for yourself
