What is "birth"?
Birth is the process of a baby being born and entering the world from the mother's womb. It signals the beginning of a person's life outside the mother’s body. Birth can occur through vaginal delivery or a cesarean section, also known as a C-section, and it typically involves labor, where the mother’s body works to bring the baby out.
