Birth photos!

Baldwinbaby4 · December 2013

If you have had a baby already share some photos of your birth! I will post some of my third birth later! I had a birth photographer and got some great images!

melaneejo · December 2013

this is my first and I want a photographer! Just not sure how to go about finding one...:

@Joules325 those are beautiful!! We didn't take any pictures during the labor/birth with DS. So wish we had. We'll be taking some this time for sure.

Baldwinbaby4 · December 2013

These are great!!! Nice squishy baby!

I'll share a couple of ours. They aren't professional but I love them. We have video of the actual birth but its a bit graphic, but amazing, for the internet.

26 hours down 10 more to go, I seriously sat on that birth ball for like 15 hours...

Relaxing in the tub during transition about 2 hours before DD was born

New mama glow, about 5 minutes after birth

About 30 min or so after birth. You can see FIL walking in the back
ground but everybody else is either nurse or midwife (except DH, baby
and I of course)

Proud papa and his new little squish (also that is my arm in the foreground not other places...like my grandma thought haha)

@joules235 Those are so precious! I am glad you shared!

These are great they made me think of the birth of DD and how great she smelled and how you feel when you finally see the bundle and hold them. I can't wait!
My mom had taken this photo. I am hoping it's not big I'm doing this from my phone.
I would say though if you are going to have cameras let people know before hand if you are okay with them on Facebook. This photo was sent to DHs family and then was posted on Facebook by his sister and I about died.

During the cs and the first pic we have of DS.

Lol everyone is upside down...thanks, tb

We don't have a ton of my daughters labor, mainly because she was 3 weeks early and I was only in labor for about 5 hours, but this is by far one of my favorite pictures of all time. I had no idea it was being taken and didn't even find out about it until a few weeks later.

@flerlgirl your son is amazing. Such a perfect little miracle. And I love the new pic of him in your siggy.

Everyone's squishies are perfect too!

@ugabamafans - thank you! He is pretty rad

I did not really get any of the hospital pictures that I wanted using just dh my best friend etc so I will be looking into a birth photographer for sure this time. These are all pretty low quality too but here is what I have. The first 2 are when I first got in my room, the 3rd is the moment he was given to me, I love that I'm holding his hand, but I'm actually telling the nurse "I said no towel, I said no towel!" Because skin to skin was really important to me and in that second it seemed like a really huge deal (they took the towel away lol) the one of DH and baby was after our hourish of skin to skin, it was the first time he held the baby

the last one is the next morning

chaysefaith · December 2013

Bump.

I want to see more and maybe post mine when I get home.

Jennylou0604 · December 2013

Our little NICU baby. He was born at 37 weeks with premature lungs, but he's a fighter and is now a very healthy and happy 2 1/12 year old. These are the only pics I have on my office computer. I have many more from the actual birth at home. I'll try and post some later.

Damnliz · December 2013

Found some from my second birth. Daddy bonding with his son - family photo- big sister meeting little brother

I'm crying. Sitting at my desk crying... Ahhhh!

Bmcmullin01 · December 2013

I don't have many but here are a couple from after she was born

AnnaKaie · December 2013

These make me so ready for June!!!

babygabe614 · December 2013

Ack, shoulda waited until I got home to look at these! They are making me tear up like a weirdo in my cubicle!

Beautiful pics, ladies.

ElTrain5 · December 2013

@Joules325 You're birth photos (and birth story from the other thread) are so incredibly zen and amazing. That is totally the birth I wish so hard I'll be able to have.

Cherylwang · December 2013

I only have one pic on my phone. I'm always mobile. I took it the other day from my computer to show my DS how much younger they look. (3 years ago) so I'm not in the pic. Lol p.s. I think my husband is hot! Haha!

ElTrain5 · December 2013

@cherylwang AW! Your husband is a cutie! And your kids are adorable too!

purtz · December 2013

Thanks for sharing! I literally have 2 pics from before being wheeled off to an emergency c-section. It's a good reminder for this time!!

chaysefaith · December 2013

Ugh. Our hospital takes really amazing photos for free and sends them to you after the baby is born. I went and dug the disc out and I can't get any of the photos off of it. I even tried to take screenshots and they did something special to it and I just get a gray box.

They're such great pictures, I really wanted to share them.

erind228 · December 2013

Here are a couple from after my son was born.

chaysefaith · December 2013

So smart @krptcmschfmkr128!

mookie_moose_10 · December 2013

The first is my bump close to delivery, I was super proud of it

All the others are from about 5 mins after she was born. I think everyone was in such awe they forgot to take pics when she came out.

The last one is my fave, her little eyes are so buggy in it.

chaysefaith · December 2013

Photo spam!!!

chaysefaith · December 2013

Wow... that last one of the three of you just killed me. So beautiful!!

tbmadeamistake · December 2013

Crappy cell phones pictures of prints, but here's my baby girl! One is right after she came out, laying on my chest, the others are very shortly thereafter

. I didn't want birth pictures, I was happy to wait until after we were in recovery to take a few. My doula disagreed. I'm still upset that she went against my wishes, but I do love some of these pictures

wtfisup · December 2013

@snlt2010: SO MUCH HAIR!

chaysefaith · December 2013

Bhaha. LMFAO. Yes, the heartburn with my hairy babies is INSANE. I'll have to find one of my older daughter the day she was born, she had more!

ElTrain5 · December 2013

@joules235 Did you do hypnobabies as a class or the home program? I looked for a class near me but the only one offered is almost $500

amwangel · December 2013

Oh, I love all of these!!

Here are mine - I had a water birth at a hospital birthing center with my son 3 years ago:

(I had a heplock in case I needed an IV, but could still go in the water)

(My husband got in the tub with me - I insisted he didn't before birth, but was glad he did! He was awesome.)

(Between contractions was way easier than during. Ha.)

And three years later....

Yep. Worth it.

ETA - Our L&D nurse just picked up my camera and started shooting without being asked. And I'm SO glad she did. I never would have thought I wanted pictures of it, but it's really emotional to look back on the time I first met my son!
