As any mum will tell you, giving birth means a rollercoaster of emotions, from terror to sheer joy.
So it’s no surprise that photographers and snap-happy family members have started documenting newborn’s arrivals by the shed-load.
From the painful beginnings to the joyous end results, these stunning photos capture home water births in all their glory and we feel a teeny bit emotional just looking at them…
It's a family affair
Pushing through it...
Til there's just one push left
Cutting the cord
Meeting for the first time
The sheer elation
And of course, the tears of joy
SHARE if these photos melted your heart.
