The birth of a child is the process through which a baby is delivered from the mother's womb. This typically occurs after a pregnancy lasting about nine months, during which the fetus develops inside the uterus. The birth can happen through vaginal delivery or cesarean section, depending on various factors such as the health of the mother and baby. During labor, the mother's body undergoes contractions that help push the baby out. Once the baby is born, the umbilical cord is cut, and the baby begins to breathe independently. This moment marks the beginning of the child's life outside the womb.
