Pregnancy is biocultural

As birth rates decline around the world the social value of pregnancy increases. Prenatal photography is a thriving business. The photographs reflect the beauty, emotions, and humour of pregnancy. By sharing the photographs, the parents communicate their new social status and prove that they are biologically, socially, economically, and emotionally ready for a new stage of their lives.
