For most mums-to-be, hiring a birth photographer is an exciting part of preparing for the arrival of their baby. But a woman berated by a photographer when she asked about capturing her child's birth via caesarean has sparked outrage from fellow mums. The unnamed woman shared a screen shot of a conversation she had with a birth photographer. Posted to the Facebook page Breastfeeding Mama Talk, the message exchange shows while the mum-to-be attempted to defend herself, the photographer responded to her inquiry with a series of cruel comments:"A surgery isn't birth my dear. How you gave birth and you did certainly give birth does not determine your worth as a mom.#stopmomshaming."
