My wife is a CNM who also happens to be pregnant with our third child. After two relatively successful home births (I speak as one who played passive roles in the events) she is considering experiencing the world of hospital birth, something which she approaches with as much trepidation as many of you might approach natural birth. These images are simply a concept that came to me as a result of my artistic interests and attempts to replicate some of the awesome stuff I see out there on the interweb. Some of the sources used in producing these pieces were a photo taken of my wife pregnant at 7 months gestation and a forest photo used from an internet forest picture. There are three different background and fill versions. Let me know which one you like best.
