The miracle of birth is a powerful yet shocking event. What we see on TV and in the movies is a sanitized version of reality which is both beautiful and emotionally raw.
The winners of the 2020 International Birth Photography Image Competition have been announced and we bring you the most powerful images that show just how strong moms are. Be warned, dear Readers, the images below are NSFW, very graphic, and should be viewed at your own discretion.
If you’d like to view some more emotional photos from the photo contest in previous years, have a look through Bored Panda’s earlier articles here, here, and here.
