Although the practice is still a little timid, water birth is starting to appeal to more and more women. The positive testimonials continue to multiply: according to fans, everything is conducive to relaxation and well-being. Hot water is said to have an anti-stress and anti-pain effect which helps relieve contractions, promote some freedom of movement and speed up the birthing process.
Curious by nature, Monet photographer Nicole Moutrie was particularly excited at the idea of being able to witness this unique birth live. Invited into the intimacy of this couple, armed with her camera, she immortalized every second of this extraordinary birth “ I attended this childbirth at home in the early summer of 2015. Erin, the mother, worked all night and morning, with her beloved partner Jess, by her side. » she says. “ The birth of a baby is one of the most intense and beautiful experiences I have witnessed. There are not enough words to express the strength, joy and abandonment that childbirth requires. After having immortalized more than fifty births, this singular and unique image moves me every time. This is such a strong testament to the demands of childbirth and the reward it ultimately offers… “, she continues.
« I love the physicality of this image: the perfectly coiled cord resting on the mother’s belly. And I also love the look of pure relief that we can see on this young mother’s face. A relief which is also reflected in that of his new born. »
