Abstract

Pregnancy and childbirth constitute profound experiences inherent to the female life cycle. This natural continuum, stretching back to the dawn of humanity, is fraught with critical health implications for women. Numerous studies and health indicators underscore the fundamental nature of pregnancy and childbirth for women's well-being. The childbirth experience straddles the delicate boundary between health and illness, significantly influencing the physical and spiritual dimensions of mothers. Various factors play a pivotal role in ensuring a successful birth with minimal adverse effects on maternal health.
