Raw, Real Photos of Women's Postpartum Bodies Celebrate the Beauty of Birth
Birth is a messy – and beautiful, and powerful, and surprising, and difficult – business, and in the past few years people have been working to bring awareness to all of the expectations, complications and aftereffects of something that once might have been considered private or even shameful.
