Face presentation is rare, and most people won't ever see one in their lives. A mama I know recently pushed her baby out face first when she had her VBAC in the hospital. This is an amazing photo that her photographer took of the baby's face emerging. I'm in awe of mamas, babies, and birth itself. Babies can come out in all sorts of ways. The mother gave birth with an intact perineum (no stitches needed) and the baby was healthy without any problems.
If this photo offends you, I'm sorry. I don't post it to be shocking or offensive. I feel it's tastefully done and shows something simply amazing. I find it beautiful and interesting. I posted this on the Mamas and Babies facebook page and I was reported for posting an explicit or obscene photo and had to remove it or face losing my account.
Notice the baby's tongue between the lips. What an amazing shot.
