Etymology

Over time, the term evolved through various linguistic influences and historical contexts associated with childbirth. The term began to see more widespread usage in the late 20th century, particularly with the emergence of more holistic and natural approaches to childbirth that emphasized the importance of the birthing experience. The shift from the traditional associations of birth with medicalization to a broader understanding of the emotional and psychological aspects of the birthing process has contributed to the popularity of the term today.
