Today we invite you to enjoy a impressive series of photographs that reflect the most beautiful moments of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. They are the prize-winning photos in the 'Birth Becomes Her Photography Contest', a worldwide contest of birth photographs, in which no less than 966 images participated.
A group of 16 judges and more than twenty thousand users have given their vote to determine the winning photographs in each of the categories that we present below. Actually, they are very powerful images about motherhood that will surely thrill you. Enjoy them!
Winning Photos
In all categories
"Awesome first meeting of brothers"
The winning photo is from Marijkethoen Birthphotography and has a very special story that we already told you on one occasion: it is a photo that Facebook had censored (but later published again) in which the older sister meets her new brother.
