Navigating the rushes and waves of childbirth from the comfort of home can be a peaceful and empowering experience: just you listening to your body, and your support team providing encouragement. Giving birth at home means you call the shots, and you can control who enters your birth space. Some incredible mommas choose to have their children and family surround them, and others choose to be completely alone or just with their partner.

This collection of images showcases the beauty of home birth, and the divine power of women as they persevere to bring their children earthside. It’s a spectacular collection of the most beautiful home birth photos. There’s no place like home.
