A birth story is a narrative that describes the events surrounding the birth of an individual. It typically includes details about the pregnancy, labor and delivery, as well as any complications or interventions that may have occurred during this time. The birth story can be told from different perspectives - such as by the mother, father, healthcare provider, or other family members who were present at the time of birth. It is often shared among family and friends to commemorate the arrival of a new member into their lives.
