Right! She's a mother-to-be. If the woman dies before giving birth she wasn't really a mother. You could call her that, but it wouldn't be factual.

Quote:
what is the role of a mother?
To take care of a child using her faculties.

to nurture the child?
That would be part of it, but anybody could do it.

Quote:
does she not do that in the womb also?
Her body does it without her consent. It's not by choice.
