Raleigh Birth Photography | Home Birth | Noah

Home birth in the Triangle is a topic that is not talked about too often. It is due to the fact that many people think Home Birth is illegal in North Carolina. This is not true - in fact, women can give birth legally at home with a few Certified Nurse Midwives based in North Carolina. I had the pleasure of meeting one of those Midwives, Nancy, while photographing one of my first Home Births. She was a joy and is so knowledgable. There was one point when Mom was in the bathroom laboring in the tub - her vocalizations changed and Nancy's ears perked up and an said - "ok, its time to have a baby". Sure enough, Mom had baby within 10 minutes. You will notice too that Mom wanted to head to the bed to deliver the baby, but once she stood up, baby had other plans![tube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpzDaSlFHXE[/tube]
