Term: MOTHER
Definition: A mother is a woman who has given birth to a child or has legally adopted a child. Sometimes, it can also include a woman who is pregnant and has not yet given birth.
Simply put, a mother is someone who loves and takes care of a child as their own.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A mother is a woman who has given birth to a child, provided the egg for a child, or legally adopted a child. This term can also include a pregnant woman who has not yet given birth.
- My mother gave birth to me.
- My friend's mother adopted her when she was a baby.
- The pregnant woman is excited to become a mother when her baby is born.
