If a woman is pregnant, does that mean that she is a mother?

Absolutely! I lost twins at 21 weeks in Aug and am currently pregnant again with triplets. This past week, I couldn't help but to feel sad by the two mother-to-be cards that I received. I know they meant well and it was SO thoughtful of them to think of me, but it just confirms that some people don't think you're a mother until you bring babies home. I couldn't disagree more. My twins in heaven know I'm their mommy. And these three babies know I'm their mommy. Right now I'm their mommy, not to-be. I think all pregnant women are mommys right after conception b/c a life, their child was created and exists and the woman is their mother.

Yes. The dictionary definition of a mother is "a woman that begets or brings forth offspring, or a woman who brings up or cares for another."

Well, don't all women begin to care for their offspring as soon as they get the positive pregnancy test?

They worry about their child and build hopes and dreams for their child just as they do after the baby leaves the womb.

Pregnant women change their diets and their habits because they are mindful of the health of the child in their womb.

And when a pregnant woman suffers a miscarriage or death in the womb, she rightly grieves because she is in fact a mother that has lost her child. No woman ever grieved over a "bundle of tissue" (the pro choice term for a tiny human) leaving her body.

That's why we call pregnant women "expectant MOTHERS."

Yes. In ordinary usage, we call her an expectant mother. In scientific fact, she is carrying a unique living human individual child in her uterus, and she is the female parent of that child.

The prophet Isaiah asked (49:15), "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?" A sign that we live in a bleak and soulless generation is that a mother CAN forget her own child, and imagine that abortion removes something foreign from her body.

It really depends on the person, and how they view pregnancy.

I see myself as a mother already, because I am caring for and helping my child grow. (Even though I didn't celebrate mother's day this year, lol.)

But then there are a lot of people who believe they aren't mothers until the baby is born.

My 17 yr old sister is pregnant with her first child and I had to argue with my brother and father to call her and tell her Happy Mother's Day.

I feel that if you are pregnant, you are still feeding, nurturing, massaging, talking to, makeing Dr. appt's (prenatal).

Why wouldn't you be considered a Mommy?

The only difference is that your baby is still cookin'!!!

It really depends on the person you ask the question. It's also how people view the abortion question.

Do you count the fetus as a life? If so then yes.

If you don't then no.

Personally, I count anything with a heart beat as alive.

So my answer is yes, she is a mother.

moth·er 1 (m r) n. 1. A woman who conceives, gives birth to, or raises and nurtures a child

Biologically yeah, but just because she has a baby doesnt make her a mother care wise necessarily. Alot of women arent mothers to their children and simply use them as an accessory, or toss them around like their trash.

yes at the moment of concept one becomes a mother

Given that life begins at conception, the answer is YES.
