Ready to be spellbound by clear drape c-section photos"
by Melissa Willets posted in Pregnancy
Cesarean births are often associated with fear. Many moms-to-be, myself included, feel if they need a c-section, they will be robbed of the beautiful birth experience they envisioned.
Doula and photographer Tracy Abney's recently captured birth photos will make you believe c-sections can be beautiful, bonding events. Tracy's client, Allison, who required the procedure due to a problem with her placenta, enjoyed a clear drape c-section and got to see her baby enter the world.
"I loved being able to watch my clients as THEY were able to watch their baby being born," Tracy told BabyCenter. "They participated in the birth, and were able to witness the moment their son took his first breath. It was such a sweet experience and such a beautiful birth." Mama was also able to relish skin-to-skin contact with her son right away.
Tracy wanted a better c-section experience for Allison than she was able to have with her first child 13 years ago. "All of the things that were hard for me during my birth can be different through family-centered cesareans," she explained to us, adding, "I love being able to help a mother navigate these options so she feels like she is an active participant in her birth."
Usually for these births, doulas advocate for using a clear drape during the procedure and letting the mama hold her baby right away, instead of her being the last one in the room to see him.
I'll admit that ...
