Preferred term

motherhood  

Definition

  • Motherhood is an institution, identity, and experience that is understood universally, yet complex in the uniqueness of each mother's experience. The paths to becoming mothers include the actual experience through birth or adoption, as well as the process of becoming a mother by embracing a new identity and learning new roles.
