Birthing rituals are traditional practices and ceremonies that cultures perform to celebrate and support the process of childbirth. These rituals can vary widely, often reflecting the beliefs and values of a community. They may include specific prayers, songs, or dances, and often involve family and community members to provide emotional and physical support to the birthing person. In many cultures, birthing rituals also include the use of special items, such as amulets or herbs, believed to protect the mother and child. Some rituals may take place before, during, or after childbirth, emphasizing the importance of community involvement and the transition into parenthood.
