Celebrating the Strength and Resilience of Women

Reflections on Childbirth during International Women's Month

As any mother can tell you, childbirth is the single most memorable and life-changing experience any woman can have. It is a dramatic rite of passage into a new life as a mother, suddenly responsible for the survival of a precious child that has come forth from her body.

And it is almost always the start of a love affair that can’t ever be imagined until felt.

This lyrical series of images on childbirth were created by biomedical artist, Audra Geras. The illustrations show the normal changes to the child’s position within the mother’s body during the birth process.

We want to particularly dedicate this newsletter to our founder Tricia Weber in honor of the birth of her first grandson.
