Examples of motherhood in a Sentence

1. The Pope:

   How many children in the world are waiting for someone to take care of them, having a child is always a risk, either naturally or by adoption. But it is riskier not to have them. It is riskier to deny fatherhood, or to deny motherhood, be it real or spiritual.

2. Diana Jimnez Medina:

   Her mother, Diana Jimnez Medina, graced the cover of the mag with her A-list daughter ahead of Mother’s Day. Diana Jimnez Medina expressed her pride over her famous daughter and said she knew Hayek was destined for great things. I always knew that Salmita would be something big in her life because of her personality, her way of always working for what she wants, but she surprises me. She continues to surprise me more and more, there was one thing that I wanted : that was for Salma to be free to grow up and do whatever she wanted. Hayek has Valentina Paloma Pinault, Valentina Paloma Pinault. She said motherhood has impacted her greatly. Feeling responsible helps you develop as a human being … You learn a lot about yourself when you do something for someone else, Hayek said. The actress recently revealed to People magazine that Valentina Paloma Pinault has taken up a new odd business venture : making homemade slime.

3. Ruth Whippman:

   America the Anxious. motherhood is one of the more supportive spaces I have ever been in in my life.

4. Suzanne Steinbaum:

   Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a cardiologist and director of women’s heart health at the Heart and Vascular Institute at Lenox Hill Hospitalin New York, told Fox News. Symptoms of ARVD can include palpitations, shortness of breath and fainting. NIKI TAYLOR'S TIPS FOR JUGGLING MOTHERHOOD AND A CAREER Niki said Krissy Taylor never showed any direct symptoms but was generally an anxious person, especially before fashion shoots and go-sees. She would always say ‘ my heart’s beating so fast … I don't know what's going on, ’ so we just thought it was normal butterflies or excitement, but this was probably symptoms that something else was going on, Niki said. Diagnosing ARVD can be challenging, Suzanne Steinbaum said. Diagnosing ARVD’s normal for our heart to pound and pump when we get nervous or anxious, but walking around town and feeling your heart pound and pump is not normal, Suzanne Steinbaum explained. Diagnosing ARVD's really hard to tell the difference between anxiety, stress and really a heart condition, if you have symptoms of shortness of breath, if you have palpitations, if you feel dizzy the first place you have to think is your heart. So what I tell everyone is don't diagnose yourself, just go to the doctor, she added. To help more women understand their risk of heart disease, the number one killer of women, Niki partnered with the American Heart Association and their Go Red for Women campaign. We just want people to go get an EKG( electrocardiogram), your doctor will be able to know if you have heart flutters or an irregular heartbeat like Krissy Taylor did, and it could save your life.

5. Larry Levitt:

   Pre-existing condition protections are now like motherhood and apple pie, but saying you're for them is different from having a plan to actually make them a reality, it's hard to do and involves trade-offs. People may forget all the political pain Democrats suffered because premiums went up and non-compliant plans got cancelled when the ACA's protections went into effect.
