28 Heartwarming Images Of Mothers With Their One-Day Young Babies

Childbirth is the most painful thing a woman will experience in her lifetime, and it can happen more than once. All the pain and suffering is forgotten once the mother is introduced to her baby for the first time and it is placed in her waiting arms. The bond that happens between them at that moment is something that will last a lifetime.
