The miracle of life is incredible to watch.
Whether it's your sister that's pregnant, or your mother's goat that's expecting babies, there is always at least some degree of giddy anticipation for the big day when new life enters the world.
We're used to seeing sonograms of human babies throughout all stages of pregnancy. But have you ever wondered what other animals look like inside when they're pregnant with their offspring?
You may think it's dangerous for animals to get an X-ray while they are pregnant. However, vets say that one X-ray won't hurt the tiny babies, and the knowledge of how many babies are on the way can be lifesaving to the mother in many cases. So fear not for the little ones in the following images!
These nine pregnant animal mothers-to-be under the X-ray machine are all incredibly beautiful. Have you ever seen anything like this before?

1. Puppies
How all these adorable pups fit is entirely beyond me.
2. Kittens
It's both beautiful and jarring to see them like this, even though I know how cute they'll be once they're born.
3. A Kiwi
This single kiwi egg takes up the entire space inside the mom's stomach, which is already pretty darn tiny.
4. A Fawn
When rescuers found this mama deer, they were not expecting what they found in her belly.
5. Bearded Dragons
Lizards aren't for everyone, but for those who understand that they can make great friends, this image of a mama's eggs inside her belly is so sweet!
6. Raccoons
When a mother raccoon was taken into the Toronto Wildlife Center with gunshot wounds, rescuers were happy to see that the babies were still safe and that Mom would mend.
7. More Kittens For Good Measure
Honestly, there can never be enough kittens. Although this mama might think otherwise.
8. Guinea Pig(let)s
This mama guinea pig is packed to the brim with tiny babies. It's hard to believe she can still get around with a belly like that!
9. Chinchillas
Chinchillas are quite possibly the softest creatures on the planet. The thought of snuggling all four of these tiny babies brings oh so much joy.
