De Amerikaanse Paulina Splechta is geboortefotograaf en heeft al veel bijzondere momenten kunnen vastleggen. Maar dat ze getuige mocht zijn van hoe een tienjarig meisje haar babyzusje ‘haalde’ bij de bevalling, vond ze wel heel speciaal.
En nu gaan de prachtige foto’s de wereld over.

‘Een ervaring voor het hele gezin’ Het meisje wilde graag helpen, maar vond het tijdens het moment suprême wat spannend. Toen haar vader aanbood om de baby samen op te vangen, ging ze er helemaal voor. De fotograaf vertelt hierover aan The Huffington Post :

When I was pregnant with Emma, my dream was for Kate to see her sister being born. But birth is literally unplanable. Families can and should educate themselves leading up to birth to make informed decisions and good birth-team choices, and birth should be (besides the outcome of healthy mom and baby) also a positive and warm experience, so birth preferences are a must! Ultimately, Kate couldn’t see her baby sister being born because we were in the operating room 3 and a half years ago for Emma’s birth. But her birth experiences planted a seed in my artist of a heart. I was determined to one day not only document an older sibling present at a birth, but an older sibling catching the baby. Enter Catherine. This was on the list for her and her 10 year old daughter’s birth preferences for baby #3. For Kayla to catch her baby sister Everly. We did not know what to expect, because birth is so unpredictable. We all knew it may not work out. But what was magical was hearing midwife Laurie Gibbon’s words about how this was her patient’s birth. Mom and baby were completely safe and healthy during this delivery, and big sister Kayla caught her baby sister Everly with a rainbow of emotions. I know in my heart that the two traumatic births I experienced with my children were for a reason, because if it had not been for my births and my daughters, I would not be a birth documentarian today. Thank you to this beautiful family, the amazing and best labor and delivery staff at Boca Regional and to the entire team at Women’s Health Partners especially midwife Laurie for making this dream come true, for my client Catherine, for me, and for every woman out there who knows that children can be present and involved in birth. #paulinasplechta #lifeofabirthphotographer #bocaratonregionalhospital #lauriegibbons #bocaregional #womenshealthpartners #bocaraton #bocaratonregionalhospital #floridabirthphotographer #birthannouncement #preggolife #babybump #dialated #givingbirth #girlmomlife
