Russian photographer Jana Romanova's Sensual Pictures of Sleeping Expectant Couples

When Russian documentary photographer Jana Romanova’s friends started getting married and having children, she started looking for a way to deal with this sudden change in her life. The product of her efforts was an extraordinarily intimate and tender portrait series of young sleeping pregnant couples called ‘Waiting’.

It’s interesting to see the varied positions that these women and men sleep in. It’s generally recommended for pregnant women to sleep on their side, as almost all of the women in the series of 40 couples (for 40 weeks) do, though it’s the men who often seem to follow suit even though they don’t have to.

Additionally, it’s especially interesting to see that there are a number of photos of these fathers-to-be unknowingly placing their hands by the woman’s belly. Even in their sleep, they offer a protecting hand.

Romanova is currently raising money to fund a book of Waiting. Preorder it here.
