Home water birth after c-section: The most inspiring photos and video

Sive O'Brien

A photographer in South Africa has captured a very special home water birth story.

After having an emergency c-section with her daughter, mum Cornelia wanted a different experience with her second delivery.

Photographer Marysol Blomerus, who captured the amazing story, says on her site, “[Cornelia] was determined that this time would be different. She researched, educated herself, and got empowered. Specifically, she took hypnobirthing classes.”

She adds, “I am thankful to the clients who do choose to share their stories because they help women get an idea of what birth is like, what siblings meeting is like, what a certain hospital or a home environment is like.”

Cornelia has chosen to share her story to encourage women and show that vaginal births after cesarean can be possible. Take a look at the incredible photos and video, below.
