Monet Nicole is a s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed maternity photographer, and we frequently share examples of her work that we find inspiring. The photographer has been to hundreds of 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡s and has a wealth of expertise. She thinks that giving 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 is a wonderful, one-of-a-kind experience that alters every woman who undergoes it, and she wants to record both the beauty and the moments via her images. 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡ing process in its earliest stages.

Photos of home 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡s, 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡s in maternity facilities, cesarean 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡s, and water 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡s are posted by Monet on her personal page. Her Instagram page is crammed with images of touching and motivational motherhood-related stories. The fact that she has more than 159,000 followers is not a coincidence.

This photographer recently published another fantastic collection of images. A mother who had vaginal delivery of her twins in a maternity hospital is surrounded by the people she enjoys. While there, Monet documented the scene in her own unique style. Oh, twin wonders. The only option for twins (with a provider) is a hospital in the majority of the United States. When it comes to twins, I firmly believe that everyone deserves more options.

There are many lower-risk twin pregnancies that can happen out of hospital (and we’ve seen this happen in several states across the country). But what happens when your state doesn’t offer home 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡s? You advocate the 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 of you and your 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. This beautiful mom gave 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to twins in the hospital but she knows she wants her 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to go as smoothly as possible. She carried her babies to full term. She works in whatever position feels best to her.

She requested the presence of her partner, mother, doula, and 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 photographer. She did not receive an epidural and gave 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 when she felt ready. She even requested that her midwife hold her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥. It serves as a strong, lovely reminder of how we can and must assist one another as we enter the hospital.
