Every birth is wondrous – what our bodies are capable of is truly mind-blowing. And then there are women who labour against incredible odds, that leave us in complete, jaw-dropping awe. These are some of the most breathtaking vaginal breech birth photos we’ve ever seen, proving that each birth is a miracle.

We’ve featured some inspiring birth photography at Babyology, including showing the incredible moments immediately after birth. But we wanted to train the spotlight on vaginal breech birth photography, an absolute eye-opener to those of us who have never witnessed one.
Most of us have heard of breech babies – when our little ones are facing bottom down in utero heading towards the pointy end of pregnancy. Some mums-to-be choose to try and have their baby turned while still in the womb, via external cephalic version – we’ve previously featured a video of an Australian doctor performing this amazing technique.
In Australia, about 90 per cent of breech babies are born via c-section, however there are many women who birth their breech babies vaginally. We put a call out to some of the world’s leading birth photographers to share their vaginal breech birth photos with us, and we are floored by the beautiful photos we received.
