    The jux. of pregnant women and symbolically rich budding magnolias is visually evocative and emotionally resonant.

    It's believed "pregnancy is a beautiful phase because it gives a woman the joy and fulfilment which comes from bringing a new life into the world." And magnolia, which it is believed to have existed from the beginning of time, symbolizes "love for nature, feminine sweetness and beauty."
