Birth is one of the most beautiful experiences of this life, a true miracle. As unique and satisfying as this experience is, it can be as unpredictable as births are not at all like each other. That is why there is no exact term, whether we are talking about cesarean delivery or natural birth, both processes require a lot of skill, attention, and patience to avoid any complications.

The image has traveled around the world, touching the souls of many people. It is the moment when the fetus squeezes the finger of the doctor who performed the operation. After making the incision to begin the procedure to remove the fetus, the doctor saw how the baby’s hand grabbed his finger and squeezed, that It feels how he would thank him for the good job he is doing.
