There is no posing during a birth. Birth photography is the ultimate in documentary storytelling, and there are so many aspects you can capture. It’s all about the small details, and emotions, the pained expressions, the laughter between contractions, and the emotional text messages received. The supportive partner, the shoulder massages, holding hands, and leaning on each other for support. They say mothers are made to forget the pain of childbirth so that they’re willing to do it over again. If that’s the case, then why do these birth photos cause all of those emotions — from intense pain to…

There’s something magical about the birth of twins, and these photos give a breathtaking glimpse into the world of multiples. A twin home birth is not something that most people come across often.

When Russian documentary photographer Jana Romanova’s friends started getting married and having children, she started looking for a way to deal with this sudden change in her life. The product of her efforts was an extraordinarily intimate and tender portrait series of young sleeping pregnant couples called ‘Waiting’. It’s interesting to see the varied positions that these women and men sleep in. It’s generally recommended for pregnant women to sleep on their side, as almost all of the women in the series of 40 couples (for 40 weeks) do, though it’s the men who often seem to follow suit even…

Although she wanted to take pictures of her labor and birth, things in the delivery room got too hectic, so she ended up not taking any photos. You never know what to expect when you…
A lovely, transitory moment in time is birth. Each one has been unique; not one has been the same. Each is distinct, much like a fingerprint; every newborn has a different life narrative. It’s authentic, unvarnished, empowering, and honest. You and your life will never be the same after this day. Then you’ll discover what it’s like for your heart to be outside of your body. It exceeds your wildest expectations. It is stunningly terrifying. I couldn’t imagine not taking photos on this historic day to preserve this transformation. For this reason, I’m a major proponent of birth photography and…

It’s really fun to watch a baby move. Especially when it’s your own baby! When they stretch and move around a lot it does get uncomfortable but I wouldn’t say painful. Labor pains are what’s painful!

There are ultrasound machines that can show a 4D view of our baby’s face at like, 12 weeks. So if you don’t have to wait 40 weeks to find out whether you’re having a boy or a girl, most people won’t. Not to mention the elaborate gender reveals that the Internet could not survive without. When it came to welcoming her second child into the world, Dara Crouch decided to go “old-fashioned.” The 29-year-old from Columbus, Georgia, wanted to leave the gender of her second child a surprise. Nobody on her mother’s side of the family had given birth to…
One story you may have heard is about a baby being born “in the caul.” This means the baby was born with his or her face and head, and sometimes torso, covered in a thin membrane from the amniotic sac. A very rare situation is when the caul is made from non-amniotic tissue. This type can leave scarring on the baby if the membrane isn’t removed slowly and carefully. Another variation is for the baby to be born completely encased in the amniotic sac. This event is called being born “en caul” and, although it seems more extraordinary, is more…

Babies sometimes come exactly when and how they want to come. A woman was planning a waterbirth at the birth center she worked…but her sweet baby decided to come fast and furious while she was laboring at home. They drove into the birth center to deliver the placenta, which came out only a few minutes after arrival. Along with shock, there was a lot of laughter. Our pregnancies and births can teach us so much about letting go. Births that occur outside of a hospital, birth center, or planned home birth with an attending midwife are rare, but they do…
