Astonishing Photos Of Dads Meeting Their Babies For The First Time

The rush of emotions you feel the first time you see your newborn is indescribable – you feel love, relief, and excitement all at once. The thrill and intensity of birth are almost impossible to describe in words, but these photographs of fathers meeting their babies for the first time capture the ecstasy and intensity. To truly comprehend the special link between father and baby, you must witness it. The experience of being a parent who is physically giving birth and the experience of being a parent who is standing by has a distinct distinction. Many fathers have described being in wonder as they watched their partner give birth, while others have described being awed. Most parents are overcome with emotion once their child is in their arms, unable to put into words how they felt when they first met their child. These images, many of which were submitted to the 2019 Birth Becomes Her Photo Contest, highlight the beautiful and powerful relationship between father and child from the moment the newborn enters their life, providing visual proof of the instant connection when words fail.
