Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.

Photographer Captures Baby Next To Mom’s C-Section Scar To Show That It’s Perfectly Natural

Cesarean section is a procedure where an incision is carried out on the mother to extract the baby. It has its downsides, and some mothers might be unwilling to talk about it. Helen Carmina, a family photographer, had this unlikely mother ask to take a picture of her c-section scar together with the baby.

“I photographed this mama’s pregnancy a while back and she was telling me how terrified she was of having a c-section,” Carmina, who lives in Guernsey, UK, wrote on her Facebook. “Well last week she went into labor but had to have an emergency c-section after complications. She asked me to come over this morning and shoot this particular image as her worst nightmare proved to be what saved her and her child’s lives.”
