Siegfried Idyll comes to mind.

I would reject the suggestion that "because most composers are men,
that they weren't in the birthing room".  It is a sexist statement.
Compositions for the birth of children tend to be personal, as each
child is unique.  Better to be heralded in as oneself, rather than just
another baby off the assembly line...
