A candid photograph of a mother and baby just three days after being
born by caesarean section has been shared more than 56,000 times on
Facebook.
Helen Aller, 29, from Guernsey, who is eight months
pregnant, took the black and white image of the unnamed woman - who was
scared of having a C-section - and her newborn lying next to her wound.
Pregnancy
and birth happen as they do, yet many women are openly judged if a “not
natural” option is chosen. Recently, photographer Helen Aller, from
Guernsey, UK, took this intimate photo of a mother and her three-day-old
baby boy next to her caesarean incision. The woman, who did not want to
be identified, had decided on a vaginal birth, but was forced to have
an emergency caesarean due to complications. She wanted a picture taken
of the operation that saved her and her baby.
