Breath-Taking Photo Slide Show of Home Birth

I realize I post a lot about home birth on my blog. I support hospital birth as well as home birth, but I feel we see enough about hospital birth in the media and in society in general. My goal is to inform people of the safety and beauty of home birth to offer a wonderful alternative to those who may be looking for such.

The Birth of Amerlyn Grace

This site has a breath-taking slide show of a home birth. I love how the photos accurately portray the progress of labor, and you see that the birth is not necessarily easy but it is beautiful and miraculous. In the slide show you see how the birthing mother and her support team work together in the birth of a healthy baby girl.

Is Forever Enough?

Home Birth Photo Slide

A fellow blogger has shared the photos from her recent home birth. The more of these photo slideshows I find, the more I wish I'd had a professional photographer for my own home birth - just amazing!

Beautiful Photo Depiction of Home Birth

I recently came across a photographer's blog post:

Welcoming Jakob Asher: Here Comes the Son!

It's an amazing photographic depiction of a home water birth. The mother is a doula, and she was able to have a pain -free birth at home with no medical interventions.

Please take a look.

Beautiful Birth Art

I have been following the Beginning of Motherhood blog for a few months now, and I didn't even realize that Rachel, the blog's author also has a separate blog specifically set up for birth art. I visited it for the first time today and was blown away by the beauty and emotion of the artwork. There are drawn pictures and paintings as well as inspiring photography, along with some personal comments from the artists themselves. Please take a few moments to look through this inspiring compilation of art: The Journey of Giving Birth
