Monet Nicole, a professional maternity photographer, has captured numerous beautiful moments of mothers during birth that have been admired by many. With years of experience and attending hundreds of births, Monet believes that childbirth is a unique and special experience that transforms every woman who goes through it. Through her photos, she not only aims to document the moments but also to highlight the raw beauty of childbirth.
On her Instagram profile, Monet shares pictures of births at home or in maternity hospitals, natural births, c-sections, and water births. Her feed is filled with inspiring and moving mom stories, garnering an impressive following of over 159,000.
Recently, Monet shared another impressive series of photos depicting a mother giving birth to her twin babies in a maternity hospital with the support she wanted by her side. Monet was there to capture these special moments in her own unique way.
In her post, Monet expressed her belief that there should be more options for twin births in the United States, acknowledging that while some low-risk twin pregnancies can take place out of the hospital, in many cases, hospital births are the only option available. She emphasized the importance of advocating for the birth experience that a mother desires, especially when home births for twins may not be offered in certain states.
In this particular story, a beautiful mother gave birth to her twins in the hospital but was determined to have a hands-off experience. She carried her babies to full term and labored in positions that felt best for her. She had her mom, doula, birth photographer (Monet Nicole herself), and partner present in the delivery room. She pushed when she felt ready and chose not to have an epidural, which is a common request by providers for twin births. She even requested that her midwife catch her babies instead of the OB.
The experience was powerful and beautiful, highlighting the importance of advocating for individualized birthing experiences. Monet’s photos beautifully captured the moments of this special twin birth, showcasing the strength and beauty of the mother’s journey.
The photo series includes heartwarming moments of the mother holding her belly before giving birth, the support of her partner, the anticipation of the couple before the birth, and the powerful moments of each twin coming into the world, one after the other. The series culminates with the mother holding her twin babies in her arms, a testament to the incredible journey they have embarked upon together.
Monet Nicole’s photos continue to inspire and remind people of the profound and transformative power of childbirth, and her work has touched the hearts of many across the world.
