Motherhood

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, Motherhood has been mentioned in one podcast episode on The Dr. John Delony Show (Feb 2026). Motherhood is portrayed as emotionally complex—boring, lonely, guilt-inducing at times—while still valuable; the host normalizes ambivalence and urges support-seeking.

A mother is the female parent of a child. A woman may be considered a mother by virtue of having given birth, by raising a child who may or may not be her biological offspring, or by supplying her ovum for fertilisation in the case of gestational surrogacy.
