In "The Handmaid's Tale," once a Handmaid gives birth, the child is immediately taken away and handed over to the Commander's wife, who will raise the baby as her own. The Handmaid undergoes a ritual known as the "Ceremony" to conceive, and after childbirth, she faces a period of uncertainty regarding her future. If she successfully delivers a healthy child, she may be allowed to stay and attempt to conceive again; otherwise, she may be sent to the Colonies or face other harsh consequences. The emotional and psychological toll of this process is profound, as the Handmaids are stripped of their maternal rights and identities.
