convenient miscarriage

0I suppose when the baby wasn't really wanted. I'd think long and hard about saying this though.0-

0Thanks Nona. One more question. Can I call a pregnant woman a mother like the mother had a miscariage?0-

0If someone is pregnant, she is usually thought of as a mother-to-be. If you're a mother, there is someone you are a mother OF - and sadly, in the case of a miscarriage, that would not apply.02br

00Be aware that this is a topic that will almost always have a great deal of emotion associated with it, so if you know someone this has happened to, bounce your thoughts off us

0So, a pregnant lady is not a mother until she delivers. And thanks for the advice on miscarriage0-

0There are times when you would call a pregnant woman a mother - especially in medical situation. "The fetus was uninjured, but the mother suffered some other internal injuries."02br

00However, if you are talking to someone who is pregnant, you wouldn't say "Are you enjoying being a mother?" She not yet a mother.0-

0That's what makes learning a language so difficult. There are so many exceptions 050010id1

0Is this really different in your language? Would you say "Do you like motherhood?" to a woman who is pregnant with her first child? Would you say "When did you become a mother?" to a pregnant woman?0-

0In this case it's consistent with English. However, I guess we wouldn't use 'mother' in the medical situation and I was referring to exceptions like that.0-
