As a neonatologist caring for babies, I have the great privilege of attending many births, bearing witness to the moment when a new life enters the world. While each birth story is unique, there are recurring pieces that I treasure, such as the wail of a newborn, the smile on a mother’s face as she holds her infant for the first time, and the tradition of cutting the umbilical cord. Each birth fills me with joy and profound hope for the future.
