sünnitajat
Sünnitajat is the Estonian word for a woman who is giving birth or has recently given birth. It encompasses the period of labor and the immediate postpartum stage. The term signifies the physical and emotional experience of bringing a new life into the world. This period is characterized by significant physiological changes in the mother's body, as well as the profound emotional transition into motherhood or parenthood. Medical professionals, such as doctors and midwives, play a crucial role in supporting the sünnitajat throughout the process, ensuring the safety and well-being of both mother and child. Cultural practices and traditions surrounding childbirth can also influence the experience of a sünnitajat. The focus is on the woman's active role in the birth and her recovery.
