A set of photos caused a lot of emotion when the photographer captured the golden moments right after the mother gave birth to a baby that not everyone had the opportunity to experience.
After birth, the first thing that people probably often see is that the baby is immediately separated from the mother to go to the toilet, cut the umbilical cord, and the mother will lie on the delivery table to stitch the perineum or incision. Almost no one cares about the mental health of the mother after giving birth because when thinking about childbirth, most only think about pain and fear.
''Nowadays, after giving birth, many mothers have skin-to-skin contact with their babies, it not only brings benefits to babies such as breathing, temperature stability, crying less, reducing stress, but also mothers will have a sense of attachment and increase breastfeeding time.''
American female photographer, Brandi Johnson, has understood the psychological needs of mothers after giving birth and has created a series of powerful images. That is the moment the mother after giving birth holds her baby in her lap, that is the moment when the brother and sister meet her for the first time, that is when the whole family is reunited and bonded together after ''October 9. the day the baby was in the womb.''
I felt extremely happy to be lying on the bed prepared by my husband, holding my newborn daughter and surrounded by warm blankets and extremely comfortable cushions. I enjoyed my golden hour in a wonderful way. as perfect as possible. A mother confided about the photo captured by the photographer of the sacred moment with her husband and child after birth.
Jennifer gave birth to her first baby in the hospital and her wish to give birth to a second baby in the loving arms of her loved ones and at her home came true. "I sat on the birthing chair in the middle of the bathroom, personally picked up the baby, then held her until she was weighed and measured."
Sarah said that she had contractions and pushed hard right before the midwife arrived. But this small and pink, lovely achievement helped her forget all the pain and fatigue. ''What's more is that Sarah's first child also met her right after she was born, the moment the whole family was together'', in the familiar family bed is something not everyone can experience.
Mallory, mother of newborn Henley Aurora, said: My first instinct was to bring her to my chest, because this is the closest place to her old home when she was still in the womb. Body, mind. My mind and spirit were filled with a love I had never experienced before.!
These pictures were taken in many different regions, with mothers giving birth for the first time or maybe a second or third time but giving birth at home. The female photographer shared: I hope these photos will bring a message that all mothers deserve to have precious moments with their babies after overcoming all the pain to bring them to the world. this beautiful life! Currently, maternity hospitals are also trying to change policies to create more conditions for mothers to access and be with their children right after birth, ''so mothers can still give birth at the hospital and still enjoy the full benefits''. these meaningful moments.
