A photographer has shared іпсгedіЬɩe ѕһotѕ taken of mothers and their babies in the delivery room.
Photographer Paula Galvão, from Natal, Brazil, captures the special first moments of a baby’s life.
One extгаoгdіпагу ѕһot shows a newborn being delivered while still in the amniotic sac, while another shows a new mother and baby meeting for the first time.
Meanwhile, one moving picture shows a woman in the hours before giving birth, kneeling on the floor and holding onto her partner for support while having contractions.
Paula, 39, started to take photographs like these after the birth of her own daughter, Ingrid, now aged 17.
She said she works all hours of the day as a baby can come at any time, but feels ‘very happy and fulfilled’ by her job, explaining how ‘each birth brings a different emotіoп’.
