When a couple knows they are pregnant, they immediately start calculating to know when the baby will be born. Nine months? How do you tell that? Isn't it better for weeks? Forty? And so they arrive on the day of the probable date of delivery, which tells them when the baby will come if everything goes as expected.
The problem is that not everything always goes as expected and sometimes the baby arrives early. Before time, with all that it means: not being able to take it home, having to give it to your doctors very much so that they are the ones who take care of your health, see you in an incubator, or on your chest, full of tubes and cables that control him and help him to live, and suffer the anxiety of seeing his fragility, the delicate thing of being so small, but at the same time the force with which they struggle to get ahead.
This is what Méthot Network, a photographer from Quebec, wanted to show in a hopeful collection of photos: children and people born prematurely, who lived their beginnings together with machines and probes and now smile happily with their baby photos.
