It is not about measuring the quantity or the quality of the love that one feels towards a person, rather it is a question of the nature of life
I want to refer to the most genuine, true and lasting love for the rest of our lives.
The unconditional love of a mother for her child, we can love our nephews, godchildren, relatives, pets, but, as a mother loves her children, this is a feeling that surpasses all previous and more. So much so that we would give up our own lives for our children
From the moment we learn that we are going to be mothers
Our whole life changes and many times at that moment we do not have the slightest idea to what world we have entered.
I'm a nursing professional, and many times I had to keep guards in the maternity wards or delivery rooms.
The experiences a woman goes through when she brings her child to the world are incredible.
The mechanical effects of the development of the fetus and the hormonal alterations proper to pregnancy, cause important general changes in the body of women.
In pregnancy the ovaries and the fallopian tube are modified, but the organ that undergoes the most transformations is the uterus, which is where the baby is formed.
In the increases (the uterus), the blood supply and its walls thicken, these walls are called endometrium, their muscle fibers become stronger, and flexible, their weight exceeds 50 g. before gestation at 1 g. at the time of delivery.

It is important to talk a little about this to know why it is said that mother is one.
In the last weeks of pregnancy, the uterine muscles contract painlessly, the cervix softens and the hole is covered with a mucous plug, in the vagina the folds enlarge and become more elastic and this part takes a bluish tone , Purple color.
I think that some of the ones that go through a great modification are our breasts, they increase in size and weight, we feel a sensation of fullness, the aureole is pigmented and the color difference between it and our skin is noticeable, the nipple takes bigger size, At the end of the pregnancy, the output of a whitish liquid called colostrum, rich in nutrients, may begin, thus facilitating breastfeeding.
Another system in which changes appear is the excretory, urine volume increases and the capacity of the bladder is reduced, forcing us to stop several times at night to urinate.
In addition to those mentioned, other frequent complaints are: headache, this is due to hormonal and vascular changes, dizziness, tiredness, leg cramps, psychological stress.
Although childbirth is a normal and natural process, it is a very difficult and painful time for the mother - there is no pain that equals it. There is no way to describe it and no matter how much he explains it, we do not give with his assertive understanding.
One of the stages that most touched my sensitivity was the first phase of labor through which the parturients passed, seeing them suffer so much, it was somewhat strenuous, and at the same time something so wonderful

That's why I wanted to make a brief summary of what is lived in a delivery room and what we have to do to bring a child into the world, it is the greatest love that can be felt by a human being.
