Birth songs that color the emotion of childbirth (21–30)
From your momHatsuda Etsuko
“From Your Mom” is a famous song by Etsuko Hatsuta, who is both a singer and a mother.
It’s written like a letter, expressing the joy and tenderness of meeting one’s child, as well as the challenges and uncertainties of parenting.
Becoming a mother doesn’t happen the moment a child is born; you grow into it little by little as you grow alongside your child.
Many women who have just given birth probably feel anxious about the road ahead.
At times like that, please try listening to this song created by a seasoned mom.

It’s a very happy number, so I think it’s perfect for celebrating a baby’s birth at a party!
