Extreme photographs...... not for the squemish

[Titch85]

Birth is a very natural and beautiful process. Being placed and posed on an artificial back ground with artificial lighting using a newborn and a placenta as props is definitely not natural or beautiful in my eyes!

I agee, it doesn't look natural at all!

i suppose you see it all anyways during labour but posing with your placenta is not for me, it was amassive shock when i saw it

 

[SarahCarps2be]

I'm not being funny but that is revolting!
Having a baby is a beautiful thing, even with all the blood and whatever, but to have photographs taken like that with your placenta on the floor :\.

I'm feeling quite disturbed now tbh. Putting me off my jaffa cakes

 

[netty]

i know ^^ i dont think it captures anythng special as all your focus is off the baby and on the placenta i can honestly say i never noticed her or the child when i looked

My friend expelled the placenta in a commode (she had a natural birth with just gas and air and didn't have the injection after to help the placenta out?? So she didn't even see it!!)


xxxxxxxx

TBH it didnt shock me at all, i pretty much expecting to have blood in places i didnt think it could be! I want to hold baby Beth as soon as she comes out and on my bare skin so i guess ill have blood on me too. I guess birth is meant to be messy! It's the most natural thing in the world thats for sure!

I think it would have been nicer without the placenta and umbilical cord. Even if the baby was still a bit messy it would look natural. The placenta grabs all the attention x

omfg i nearly had cornflakes all over my laptop!!!

are u telling me just gave birth and had those pics taken?? holy jesus mary mother of god i dont knoww at else to say, each to there own i guess x

I want a clean shinny baby on my pajamas not even on my skin as about photos they will have to wait until me and baby feel better and settle. I am sure baby will look all shinny and new 2 h later lol...

I have to say...I was not expecting that...erm...I'm a little lost for words.
It's...sort of. I suppose it's the reality of birth and whatnot, but I'm not sure I want to see it photographed.
Erm....hmmmm...

 

[cosmicgirl]

Hmmm it's a bit odd. It doesn't offend my eyes but it is weird because it looks like its been taken in a photographers studio???
If it was the same shot but in a delivery room or at home in a pool or such like ie as if it's an action shot and not so "posed" then it wouldn't look weird at all x

What do you think she has done with the pictures , above the fireplace may be ,or do you think it's in the baby book , rather strange I think to want a picture like this at all. xx

 

[jojo3972]

i dont mind the dirty baby on my chest i always go for that but this pici i realy dont get it at all my eyes were taken straight to the placenta altho i know its the placenta that keeps baby alive all this time etc its just not nice to look at and the blood splattered all over is just not nice for me to look at, maybe im squeamish, i think maybe this lady or her hubby is a photographer or sumone close is and she had this all set up ready when she went into labour and had to be a home birth x

 

[SarahCarps2be]

But surely, after giving birth, you just want to be with your hubby and baby, cherishing their first breaths of air and things like that, not struggling out of bed to get ready for a photoshoot to pose with your placenta :S....

I'll probably get my OH to take some snaps of baby when first born (hes a bit of a photographer), with baby on me all messy and stuff, but thats beautiful.

Those pictures of that lady - Is not beautiful, the main thing about the pictures should be the baby but the attention is drawn completely away from the baby which I think is sad

 

[netty]

how the hell did she waalk there with her cord and placenta anyways?!

 

[netty]

that cant be good after birth

 

[clairebear22]

I wouldn't have even thought she'd be allowed to stand up without the umbilical cord being cut and have to deliver the placenta first?

Plus, there is no way I was thinking 'oooo perfect photo oppotunity' when Jack was seconds old! I was more interested in cuddling my newborn & making sure OH (who was down the 'good' end and watched my episiotamy & forceps delivery) was ok!

Seems very fake to me!! Plus did any of you just see all the blood first before actually looking at her beautiful new baby?! x

 

[netty]

i didnt even look at the baby

 

[jojo3972]

she must have litteraly just given birth im loking at her tummy n its a defo i just gave birth tummy, she must have had lots of help to get herself in that position im just in shock actualy x

Thats what I was thinking!!

Seems a bit sad that she took the opportunity to have such contraversial (however you spell it) photos taken over spending quality time with her newborn
