This black and white portrait by photographer Maggie Shannon captures a pregnant woman lying on a bed with her eyes closed. She gently holds part of a stethoscope that rests against her prominent pregnant belly, while another person's hands are visible in the foreground adjusting the medical instrument. The composition is intimate and observational, shot in a domestic bedroom setting with textured bedding behind the subject. The monochromatic lighting highlights the contours of the body and the stark contrast of the medical equipment against clothing.
