Birth is incredible and scary and life-changing, and unless you’ve been through it yourself or stood alongside your partner, it’s hard to put the experience into words. Sometimes, photographs of the ʟᴀʙᴏʀ and ᴅᴇʟɪᴠᴇʀʏ can give a glimpse into the ᴡʜɪʀʟᴡɪɴᴅ that birth is, and one photographer and mom went viral for the images of her birth. One mom gave birth in the hallway of the hospital, and her birth photographer was right beside her, and the images are incredible. She went viral the first time the images were shared with the world, and she’s going viral again for one reason: the photos are really that good.
Max has a tale to tell: he was born in an unusual manner at a Kansas hospital in the Uɴɪᴛᴇᴅ Sᴛᴀᴛᴇs. Photos of his birth were posted tens of thousands of times on Facebook. Jes Hogan is not a mother-to-be. In reality, she already had five kids at the time, so at least she had experience ɢɪᴠɪɴɢ ʙɪʀᴛʜ. Hence, on the day, or rather early in the morning, when she felt the ᴄᴏɴᴛʀᴀᴄᴛɪᴏɴs intensifying dramatically, she informed her husband, “We did not come on time!”
She went into ʟᴀʙᴏʀ with her sixth baby on July 24, 2017, and it came on faster than anticipated. Jes and her husband, Travis, hurriedly made their way to the hospital in Kansas. And while traveling, they informed her photographer friend that she had previously documented the births of her prior children. Jes made it to the hospital but couldn’t make much headway. In the middle of the hallway, she felt that she couldn’t wait any longer. Her body forced her to ᴘᴜsʜ.
Hogan made it to the hospital, but mom had no time to get into a room. Instead, she welcomed her first baby boy in the hallway of the ᴇᴍᴇʀɢᴇɴᴄʏ room. And her birth photographer was right there by her side, capturing the whole event, and the result was some insanely amazing photos. She said: “I exclaimed, ‘Oh my Gᴏᴅ, he’s here! Afterwards, since I felt my body pulling the baby out, I removed my jeans. I sat on the floor and felt his head in my hands. I turned to my husband and said, “Travis, capture him!” Without hesitation, he carried out my request. I felt my body naturally ᴘᴜsʜ the baby out.” Eventually, the nurses arrived to assist. When Tammy, the photographer, came, she was able to get these incredible shots. It is fantastic to witness the birth of this baby in a hospital hallway.
It was quick, and Jes finally breathed a sigh of relief. Little Max cried for a moment, and as soon as he felt close to his mother’s chest, he calmed down. Not even 40 minutes had passed since her mother stepped into the hospital. Jes gave birth her son in record time. He weighed 2,700 kg and was 50 centimeters tall. Already in the hospital bed, Jes realized what she had just experienced. She said that it was the ᴄʀᴀᴢɪᴇsᴛ birth she had ever experienced, but the most beautiful. Perhaps because it is unexpected, special and unique.
Max’s mom shared: “It was not at all what I had planned, but it ended without any intervention, with a healthy baby and incredible people’s support by our side. It was beautiful and I will forever cherish every memory of it.” Max’s little sisters received the little boy with great enthusiasm. He is the first boy in the family!! They will surely ask his parents to tell the story of his birth over and over again. For all of them, it will be a truly unforgettable story.
