Photographing births, Dannelle Hale is aware of how difficult labor can be for first-time parents. When she was eventually urged to push, Karissa and James, a couple she recently photographed, were precisely feeling that way. James had the greatest emotional upheaval when he became a father for the first time and witnessed the birth of his daughter. Thank goodness Dannille was there to record it. In her Instagram remark, Dannille said, “I witnessed this dad stroll across the floor and stand helplessly as his wife rode through the waves. “I took a quick glance at James, who was tensely gripping…

Since they were both delivered in the back of an ambulance while en route to Mater Mothers Hospital in Brisbane, Queensland’s tiny twins Harvey and Evelyn made an outstanding debut into the world. The breech twins’ birth, which occurred only six minutes apart, was characterized by the mother, Tara, as “unforgettable.” Evelyn and Harvey made their unexpected birth announcement when Tara was only 32 weeks along in her pregnancy and there was still a long way to go. The paramedics realized they wouldn’t be at the hospital in time while they were traveling there. They next made a U-turn onto…

Axel Murray, who is only 2 days old, is eager to begin living. The kid arrived quickly, two weeks ahead of schedule, and just as his mother was about to leave for the hospital. After her water broke at 4 a.m. and the couple timed their contractions, Roxanne Faithfull and her partner Andrew Murray made the hasty trip from their apartment in the center of Auckland to the hospital in the early hours. He showed up two weeks early. The new father, who was still in awe of his partner, told the Herald that neither of us had packed the…

I discovered my second baby Ivy has unusual limbs at the age of 19 weeks. She was told by the midwife that the scan revealed significant findings. She immediately started crying, and her stomach immediately slumped. I just have a horrible, horrible sensation that something is wrong. They finally sat down and she told her midwife about the sonogram. The midwife delivered the dreadful news: “First, there’s a chance the baby will have a cleft lip. Additionally, her heart suffered greatly when she lost both her hand and forearm, and one side of her femur was twisted and shorter than…

The body and the baby simply do it the way it was supposed to and when it does it just happens anywhere, at any time, without regard to set dates, time limits, or management of how, when, or how we give birth. Aren’t women amazing. Like the old saying, “All you need is a vagina & floor space”. Or in this case – back seat space! Champion management, and lovely birth supporters too. 33-year-old Dr. Gabriela Correia is seen giving birth in a gas station parking lot in a video that was uploaded on Instagram on 24. Her husband Gilberto…

At the crossroads of Winns Church Road and 33rd Street in Hanover, a family from Ashland welcomed their new baby into the world inside their car. Along with their two daughters, Juniper and Harbor, Tyler Edwards and Logan Roop are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their third child. They didn’t anticipate that their infant would be so impatient, though, that they wouldn’t wait for their parents to arrive at the maternity unit. Roop began having contractions on January 29 and her water broke two hours later. After a short while, Logan’s husband started packing their bags into the car and…

Yes, you’ve read that right. The trick is called counterillumination. Surprised or sad? Probably both and definitely creepy – at least by human standards. Image source: Imgur Marine hatchetfish are some of the most intriguing creatures in the ocean. Members of the family Sternoptychidae, these small, silver-colored fish are named after their unique body shape, which resembles a hatchet or cleaver. While they may not look like much (their size ranges from 2.8cm to 12cm long), these tiny fish have actually evolved some unique adaptations that allow them to survive in the deep, dark depths of the ocean. First of…

Imagine this. You are fishing on your 62-foot charter vessel in Alaska when you see 4 deer swimming towards your boat. What do you do? (Read full story below) Tom Satre, the captain of the vessel, slowed down his boat and began to watch the group of four juvenile Sitka black-tailed deer. “They swam right toward the boat,” he said. “Then, they started to circle the boat. They were looking up and looked like they needed help.” Satre said this was the first time he saw deer in this much distress. The poor souls were foaming at the mouth, unable…

These peaceful little guys (who are the largest rodents in the world) are called capybaras, and they get along extremely well with literally every other animal species. Including humans. How come? Well, it certainly doesn’t have to do with the fact that they eat their own waste. No, what it probably has to do with is their incredible inner peace. Just look at this. And indeed, the photo/video evidence of the capybara’s friendliness towards other animals is more than convincing. Apparently, all domestic and wild animals (including crocodiles!) seem to be happily hanging out with this friendly creature that looks…

Snakes are well-known for swallowing their prey whole, but this unlucky little serpent’s fortune appears to have turned. Image credit: Julie-Anne O’Neill Photographer Julie-Anne O’Neill has claimed credit for the image, in a Google+ post in November 2016. She wrote there that this image of an Australian green tree frog eating a brown snake was taken at night with a Canon EOS 550D. However, as the image has been seen online prior to her post, her claim cannot be confirmed. O’Neill adds: “Previous to the capture, I had been led to believe that they ate only insects. The Australian Brown Snake is…

Los arqueólogos en el sur de Egipto han descubierto una estatua de esfinge en miniatura notable, luciendo una característica rara de una cara sonriente con dos hoyuelos. El artefacto se encontró cerca del Templo de Hathor en una tumba de dos niveles y se cree que representa potencialmente al emperador romano Claudio, lo que lo convierte en un hallazgo significativo. La inusual expresión sonriente de la esfinge no se encuentra típicamente en el arte egipcio antiguo, lo que se suma a la intriga y el misterio que rodea el descubrimiento. Además, los investigadores también encontraron una estela romana (losa de piedra) escrita…

A Hips Up revela a los ciclistas más veteranos Los investigadores descubrieron un grupo de antiguos…

Siglos después de que los primeros ataúdes de oro fueran llevados a Europa, las momias del antiguo Egipto aún capturan vívidamente la imaginación de la gente.

Durante los últimos 10 años, he visto un gran cambio en nuestra comprensión de cómo, por qué y cuándo se crearon las momias.

There are some questions that may never be answered. Even today, archaeologists and other researchers are unable to solve the mysteries left behind by some previous people. Indeed, here are 22 mysterious monuments from ancient civilizations. The Pyramids of Giza Located in Cairo, Egyptologists still can only speculate about this 4,500-year-old burial complex. How could ancient architects assemble these specific structures as high as 149 meters (459 feet)? How could millions of stone blocks weighing several tons even be moved several kilometers in the first place? How the builders could be so precise with such rudimentary tools remains a mystery to this day. Pyramids…
