These photos of a pregnant trans man giving birth are so powerful
Giving birth can be a beautiful and intense experience, so it’s no wonder many people decide to record it in some way. More and more parents are hiring a birth photographer and sharing their photos on Facebook and Instagram for the whole world to see.
But it’s still very rare to see the experience that new parents Eli and Stephen recently shared: that of a pregnant trans man giving birth. Shared originally on the @restore_midwifery Instagram page and reposted by the @empoweredbirthproject, this photo series is truly awe-inspiring. Click through the gallery below to see Eli’s labour progressing. (We’ll warn you that these photos do contain nudity; it is a birth, after all.)

(Reposting this because IG deleted it)???????????????????????? Last weekend I had the pleasure of accompanying my clients Eli and Stephen during the birth of their daughter. Eli decided to generously share these photos and words with the world so that other queer and trans folks can learn and potentially be inspired by his experience. Eli writes: ?Giving birth was the hardest thing I?ve ever done, but also the most miraculous. I found pregnancy surprisingly gender affirming – it allowed me to embrace the full spectrum of my identity and to create life. I feel lucky to be trans and amazed at what my body can accomplish. I?m proud to be a birth father and in love with my new daughter.?
