Childbirth traditions vary widely across cultures, reflecting beliefs and practices surrounding pregnancy and delivery. In many societies, rituals are performed to ensure the health of both the mother and the baby. For example, in some Indigenous cultures, a midwife may assist during labor, using traditional methods and herbal remedies to support the birthing process.
In addition to rituals, certain customs are observed after the birth. In Japan, for instance, a celebration called Shichi-Go-San honors children at the ages of three, five, and seven. Similarly, in Mexico, the quinceaƱera marks a girl's transition into womanhood, often celebrated around the age of fifteen, highlighting the importance of family and cultural heritage.
