Top 10 Photos to capture in your birth room

written by |

Moments in the birth room are moments to be remembered. Here are just a sample of 10 of my favourite captures.

1. The support given from your partner.

(Huge photo credits to Chui King Li who was my birth photographer.)

2. The Lion King moment- During a cesarean when the drapes are dropped and you first set eyes on your baby.

3. The Moment you catch your baby.

4. Your partners face when you catch your baby. This Dads face is priceless.

5. The cord being cut. This is one being trimmed after a cesarean birth.

6. Baby’s first checks such as weight and head circumference.

7. The first family photo.

8. Those tiny fingers and tiny toes.

9. Midwife and Baby- If you’ve had a good relationship with your midwife, one of your baby and your midwife is a popular one to take.

10. The going home photo-
