Elizabeth sent her amazing birth pictures to me from her midwife assisted home water birth of her son January 6, 2010. He had a 4x nuchal cord (which can be seen in one of this pictures), which caused heart decels into the 70s during pushing as well as a little passed meconium due to distress. She says, “My midwife was…

Tattoos, Birth and Babies
Wait…tattoos? What do tattoos have to do with birth and babies? Well, people with tattoos have babies too! Every time I see a maternity, birth or newborn picture with the mom or dad tatted up, I think it’s awesome. Really though, it’s when I see a picture of a tattooed daddy supporting his woman during labor. Love it. Apparently I’m…

Beautiful Cesarean Birth Photos
Kelly from One 3 Photography emailed me and asked if she could share a few birth photos from cesarean births. Absolutely! We have a lot of cesarean section moms in our community, me included.

Graphic Birth Photo of Baby Born with a Nuchal Hand!
Babies really can birth vaginally so many ways…head down, breech, facing to the side, face presentation, anterior, posterior, and with a precious little hand by his/her face. 🙂 What’s absolutely brilliant about this, is Sarah birthed her son at home after a previous cesarean section after an OB told her that she would never carry a baby to term and…

A Long Time Waiting…So Worth It!
There are many parents who go through a long process of trying to conceive (TTC). Jessica sent in these pictures of her little one with this to say. “These always bring tears to my eyes. It was right when we brought her up to my chest….after waiting a long time to meet her. Two years of trying and 27 hours…
