On December 21st winter solstice ! I delivered my son at 9:11am weighing 9lbs 11ounces. Words can’t describe the feelings we all felt when Sagë emerged into this world.

I witnessed @londonbeloved give bearth to our golden child 🍯👼🏽💙 at home naturally in water. Her levels of strength, trust in herself, determination, fearlessness and preparation were all a strong reminder of why I believe that the melanin woman Is god. The godly energy of creation within the feminine body was an experience that will always inspire me for the rest of my life!

Cried tears of joy when I first laid my eyes on you BüBü.

I am still overwhelmed with joy & happiness.

You have no idea what my wife and I have been through to get to this point.

Appreciate all prayers and everyone who came together to bring forth this new soul.

Its hard for me to do anything other than be there for him, hold him, talk to him, smile at him, and give thankhs for him and to her.

Thankh you @londonbeloved

I am beyond grateful that what we hoped, prepared and prayed for all these past months - a beautiful, radiant, healthy, magical child - is now a reality.

To our son Sagë Akarï Wallace- Thank you for choosing and allowing me to be your father. It is a responsibility I cherish and will never take lightly. I can’t wait to be there for you every step of the way. I love you and appreciate you sooo much !! 💛💛💛 •

What I adore about this feedback is that it really embodies the sense of continuity we have across all our services. . This continuity is not an after thought but at the very core of what we do. Everything leads to a simple unified message “you know your body...your baby...your birth...like no one else”. . At MummyYoga we just keep repeating this empowering message till it’s deep into your psyche, till you believe it at every level. . Our weekly practice, the couples birth preparation workshops, the audio preparation guides and other products all are here to help you become comfortable, powerful and secure in your body and birth. . . . #MummyYoga #birth #pregnancy #baby #midwife #pregnant #doula #motherhood #newborn #birthwithoutfear #homebirth #childbirth #midwifery #birthbecomesher #empoweredbirth #waterbirth #birthdoula #love #birthing #pregnantlife #prenatal #postpartum #naturalbirth #mom #parto #breastfeeding #birthmatters #birthpreparation #movemoremum (at MummyYoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7_tCMfB23Y/?igshid=cwzs7wxj6ou0

“Birth matters. It matters because it is the way we all begin our lives outside the source, our mother’s bodies… For each mother, it is an event that shakes and shapes her to the innermost core. Women’s perceptions about their bodies and their babies’ capabilities will be deeply influenced by the care they receive around the time of birth… A society that places a low value on its mothers and the process of birth will suffer an array of negative repercussions for doing so.” –Ina May Gaskin ・・・ Art by @allisonstrickland_ #Repost @mysticalmotherhood ・・・ #baby #pregnancy #birth #fertility #motherhood #birthmatters #becomingamom #parenthood #momsmatter #birthbecomesher #birthquotes #placentamom #sacramento #placentaencapsulation (at Sacramento, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3EFpUUJghE/?igshid=1pwvjjyq9pso9

Repost @douladianne ・・・ Mid-contraction! It's absolutely incredible what a woman's body does in labor to birth her baby...SO strong! Yes, this woman works hard to keep her body in shape...and it's a good thing because she needed a lot of strength to push out her 9lb baby!

I am SO excited to get to snuggle with this grumpy little peanut today when I deliver his birth images!! <3 <3 Baby G threw his momma all kinds of curve balls with his arrival. Born ~2 months premature, and being in breech presentation meant that his mom spent many weeks away from home, delivered by caesarean and made many trips to the NICU to visit her little man. He is finally home, and doing amazing and I can't wait to see him later today!! <3 A huge THANK YOU to the Labour and Delivery staff at Victoria General Hospital for allowing me in to the OR to photograph this beautiful delivery for his family. <3 @vanislandhealth #myislandhealth #vancouverislandlife . . . . . . . #birthbecomesher #thebirthhour #hosptialbirth #preemiebaby #30weekpreemie #csectionbirth #csection #bellybirth #yyj #victoriabc #newborn #preemie #nicubaby #photooftheday #themonochromaticlens (at Victoria General Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/BraoUYZhnA2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5sadhsxqj393

Таинство рождения: невероятные фото появления малышей на свет

Появление на свет нового человека — это безумно трогательный момент. Недаром в западных странах будущие родители так часто обращаются к фотографам, чтобы те запечатлели чудо Подробнее: http://supercoolpics.com/tainstvo-rozhdeniya-neveroyatnye-foto-poyavleniya-malyshej-na-svet/

Nah ini yang di sebut caput. Biasanya ini proses persalinannya luamaaaa dan lumayan menyakitkan. Dlap dlup lama di jalan lahir. Kalau dilihat dari bentuk kepala bayi, ini posisi asynclyntic (kepala miring) . Lalu apakah nanti setelah lahir bisa pulih lagi itu (Kepala yang menonjol itu)? Bisa pak buk. Dalam 23 jam biasanya udah lumayan kempes . #Repost @kreederphoto.babies (@get_repost) ・・・ Can’t forget about this little one for my favorites from 2017. His adorable little noggin went viral in June. His #birth was one of peace and Love. And his cone head went away within an hour of birth. The human body and #childbirth never stop amazing me. Women are incredible. #birthphotographer #birthbecomesher #birthwithoutfear @stopcensoringmotherhood #birthuncensored #birthphotography #kreederphotography #normalizebirth #bumpbirthandbeyond #thebump #thebirthnarrative #birthisbeautiful

Every time I start to think that I can do without the on-call life that comes with births, life finds an amazing way to remind me that I LOVE documenting births. Why?! Because I get to witness the true miracle of life and a woman’s outrageous power to bring her babies into this world. This is how I spent my Friday morning. Totally and utterly in awe. I couldn’t love my job or the people at The Retreat who have embraced me and allowed me to learn so much. #birthphotography #birthphotographer #birthbecomesher #twins #twinboys #breechbaby #breechbirth #birthcenter #naturallight #naturallightphotography #igers #igerselpaso #elpasophotographer #elpasophotography #ilovemyjob #midwives (at El Paso, Texas)

Oh yeah...that moment right after labor. It's normal feeling super hungry as soon the baby is born. Your body was working so powerfully. So, weather you're birthing at home or at the hospital, it's smart stocking a healthy food. What was your first meal? #postpartum #healthyfood #babybirth #doulas This daddy took such good care of his wife during labor and birth. After birth he treated her like the #birthinggoddess she was and fed her a snack while she nursed their new baby 😍❤️ . . . #love #birthisbeautiful #birthbumpandbeyond #birthwithoutfear #dontforgetdads #fatherhood #birthbecomesher #birthcenter #takebackpostpartum #thebirthhour #birhphotography #lovestory #Repost @melissasteenrodphotography with @repostapp

Meet your borther! How excited, how bouncy, how tuned in was that little boy, now big brother. ⁠ How quickly he went from my little boy to my oldest. He doesn't know it yet. But his brother knows him, his smell, his voice, his songs, and loves him already. Born loving. ⁠ @mystrimumma⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ #birthphotography #birthphotographer #newbornphotography #newborn #birthbecomesher #birthwithoutfear #homebirth #birthphotogs #birthstory #baby #babyphotography #birthisbeautiful #naturalbirth #birthphoto #laboranddelivery #leicesterbirth⁠ #newbornphotographer #empoweredbirth #birthmatters #babyphotographer #babyboy #birthphotos #empoweredbirthproject #newbornbaby #postpartum #childbirth #justborn #meetyourbrother #hypnobirthing⁠ https://instagr.am/p/CQjOLcLM9Is/

Talking about birth need not all be serious and intense. . At the MummyYoga Birth Preparation workshop we don’t “impart knowledge” or pretend expertise. Our conversations are frank, open and very much practical... BUT... ...we are clear on one important aspect. The evidence and the science behind the possible choices you have at birth. There are no guarantees at birth, no guarantee your birth will be blissful, calm or whatever the media has led us to believe is “a perfect birth” . My interest lies is giving you all the evidence and appealing to your intelligent wisdom you already hold to make your key decisions. Each one of those will only be right for you if you have thought it through with your own circumstances. . Want to experience this refreshing, non didactic way of talking about birth?

Loving this amazing birth photo & all the #placentalove 😍 #Repost 📸 credit: @cborbaphoto #placentasrock #placentanerd #placentapower #placentamagic #placentamom #sacramento #placentaencapsulation ・・・ Placentas really don't get the praise they deserve. "Within 1 or 2 days of implantation, a layer of cells (trophoblast cells) develops around the blastocyst. The progenitor villous trophoblast cell, the stem cell of the placenta, develops along 2 cell lines: Nonproliferative extravillous trophoblast: These cells penetrate the endometrium, facilitating implantation and anchoring of the placenta. Syncytiotrophoblast: These cells produce chorionic gonadotropin by day 10 and other trophic hormones shortly thereafter. An inner layer (amnion) and outer layer (chorion) of membranes develop from the trophoblast; these membranes form the amniotic sac, which contains the conceptus. The amniotic sac fills with fluid and expands with the growing embryo, filling the endometrial cavity by about 12 wk after conception; then, the amniotic sac is the only cavity remaining in the uterus. Trophoblast cells develop into cells that form the placenta. The extravillous trophoblast forms villi, which penetrate the uterus. The syncytiotrophoblast covers the villi. The syncytiotrophoblast synthesizes trophic hormones and provides arterial and venous exchange between the circulation of the conceptus and that of the mother. The placenta is fully formed by wk 18 to 20 but continues to grow, weighing about 500g (1.10lb) by term." - Haywood L.

This little pumpkin was born to my very first repeat clients!! It was such an amazing experience to be there for this family to document both their babies arriving within the last 15 months! Bright, alert and so adorable!! Look at all the hair on this little girl's head and the lanugo on her shoulders!! . . . . . . . #birth #coastallifestylesphoto #newborn #takebackbirth #vaginalbirth #motherhoodrising #birthbecomesher #visualsoflife #newbornbaby #birthphotography #yyj #victoriabc #fresh (at Victoria General Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpVFgS4DTVN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w9jq2z2ss7nc
