Failed epidural or not, this requires some serious ability to compartmentalize pain in a way that I don’t have.
And I thought people who had their cameras out for almost the a whole concert were failing to live in the moment…
Then again, they are really good pics.
Like most of my children’s younger years, I like to relive them from memory and happy photos. With these rose colored glasses on I barely remember the sleepless nights, deafing screaming in my ear, over flowing diapers, and general misery of it. In fact I remember it being so easy we went and had another one.
Nice, but it’s missing the Tommy Gun.
Babies are ugly.
As I understand it, most wombs have a strict “no guns” policy. Dana Loesch would probably make an exception, but I don’t think she’s even human.
You can’t smoke in the womb either… at least not directly.
I delivered my son, at home. Let’s just say that you’d do it once, but would likely opt for the nice hospital the next go round.
Was it planned or a “OH shit, this is happening right now.” sort of thing?
It was planned, but the day came very unexpected, hence the mid-wife not available, and Papasan & Mom got a crash course in human birthing. He’s 29 and thriving on planet Earth now…
PS. It ain’t for the faint of heart…
Snap!
Is there a club or something? If not, we should found one.
So a little bit of both, then.
Touché!
So get back to work, people!
Whenever I see pics of ‘a bun’ freshly “popped out of the oven” I always hear Bruce Willis in my mind, screaming:
"Ahhhh! You put me BACK in, right now!"
As much recreational photography is made of people making babies, (or pretending to) It seems we could do with more pictures of delivering babies. There’s a tendency for people (men) to forget what all this plumbing is designed for after all! All hail sex positivity and ZPG and stuff, but I think its run away from us.
Kudos to this photographer, for doing two things at once -well!
House of Duras?
I would assume it’s not incidental that the midwives are quite photogenic.
