What causes this image? I think it's beautiful. Scars are part of life, and a scar has never given more life than a C-section. Just as I think that stretch marks or belly are marks of motherhood, the same thing I think about the scar of the C-section. There is no reason to hide it.
This nice picture of a baby and the scar of a cesarean that has revolutionized the networks It has been taken by photographer Helen Aller, specializing in photos of children, mother of two and currently eight months pregnant, three days after the birth of the baby.
The protagonist of the photo, who wanted to remain anonymous, had told the photographer before delivery how terrified she was if she had to go through a C-section. In the end, her fears came true and after a heavy hemorrhage in labor she had to undergo an emergency C-section to save her baby's life.
It was she who, three days after her baby was born, asked Helen to take this photograph to remind her that, thanks to that cut in her abdomen, she has her baby by her side.
Behind every cesarean scar there is a powerful story. Happy stories, and unfortunately also sad stories, but stories always marked by the great power of the birth of a human being.
What is certain is that the image does not leave indifferent. It has revolutionized social networks since it was uploaded on the photographer's website. In addition to being beautiful from an artistic point of view, provokes emotions of all kinds, and I imagine that many more women who have a similar mark on their belly. I return to the question at the beginning: what causes this image?
UPGRADE (8/22/2015) Yesterday Facebook has removed the image of the photographer's profile and closed her profile because it is considered "pornographic or bad taste" content. More information | It has happened again: Facebook censures the photo of a baby and the scar of a C-section
