The term "birthing experience" refers to the process and events surrounding the birth of a baby. It encompasses everything from the physical act of giving birth, to the emotional and psychological aspects of labor and delivery. The birthing experience can vary greatly depending on factors such as the type of birth (vaginal or cesarean), the presence of medical interventions, and the overall well-being of both mother and baby. For many women, the birthing experience is a profound and transformative event that shapes their view of themselves as mothers and individuals.
