2nd September- Censored Photographs Republished, Blog #1

Facebook regularly removes beautiful birth, belly and breastfeeding photographs from the profiles and pages who seek to share the beauty inherent in the beginnings of life. I will be publishing these photographs every week on this blog so we can marvel at birth and breastfeeding without wondering how long it will be displayed. Welcome to the first installment of Censored Photographs Republished- Blog #1.


Melissa Moran shares the beautiful progression from pregnancy to the homebirth of her twins. Simply divine.

Here is her lovely son admiring her beautiful belly:

A beautiful moment in my life when I caught my 3rd baby... The forewaters were clear, & then when the head emerged the waters were greenish, so the meconium was passed recently, which was ok :)

We have a secret in our culture, and it's not that birth is painful. It's that women are strong. Laura Stavoe Harm
