Spectacular images of veiled births that help us imagine what life is like for a baby in the womb

Most of us mothers (and fathers, of course) dream about what our baby will be like and imagine what it experiences inside the mother’s gut.

Now, thanks to the images that the Brazilian photographer Janaina Oliveira took of the birth of three babies, parents around the world can get a more exact idea of what the world of their child is like in the womb, among the image of the last ultrasound and the time of your birth.

Matais, Noah and Laura were born by cesarean section, still wrapped inside the intact , unbroken amniotic sac, surrounded by amniotic fluid, just as it was in their mother’s gut. This strange case is known as veiled childbirth , very difficult to witness and even more so to immortalize.

Very real and high quality images

The usual thing is that the baby is born after the amniotic bag ruptures, but there are occasions when, in cesarean deliveries, a newborn arrives in this world still inside the sac and surrounded by the amniotic fluid, just as it was inside the maternal uterus .

It is not the first time that we have told you about this type of childbirth, called ‘veiled’, but until now we did not have such beautiful and high quality images of such an extraordinary moment. The three babies were born in less than a month, in the same hospital in Praia da Costa, in Brazil.

Today it seems normal to us that the father is present during the birth of his baby, but more than half a decade ago it was something very unusual, as if the arrival into the world of a child conceived by two people was an act that only concerned to the woman.
