In the calm of this birth space at home , one of my fabulous clients laboured in warm water — On the screen behind her, a completely different birth story unfolded on the TV 🙈.
Birth in media often shows crisis — but birth in real life can be calm and even joyful.
These photos captured that contrast honestly without us planning it, and it couldn’t speak more clearly.
These images remind me how diverse birth experiences can be — from chaos to calm, from fear to trust. There’s no single “right” way, but there is power in having choice, support, and respect.
