Vancouver Birth Photos - Believe that you can

Vancouver Birth Photos - Believe that you can

I think women show their strongest physical strength when birthing. That labor is the waves that send your baby downward and your body is doing everything it can do help during contractions. But more than anything, it is mind over matter. If you can tell yourself that your body is capable of birthing, then that is half the battle won.

I have seen this power many times and photographing this birth is yet another representation of that strength. This mama was so well supported by her two doulas and midwife (yay Strathcona Midwifery Collective!) and urged on with love by her husband. Having this support network is also another key to finding that inner strength.

So believe that you can.

Thank you S and E for this opportunity to witness your strength in bringing Baby Eli into the world!
