Through having children we participate in the creative nature of God: a man and a woman love each other so much that a new being is created (this is a reflection of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit). I think it's important to realize what a gift from God a child is:
1 Timothy 2:15. Yet woman will be saved through bearing children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.
So children are not only a gift in the sense of a temporal joy to mothers, but they are also an attempt by God to save the mother's soul - an indication of God's love for you personally and His desire that you be saved.
So happy mother's day to all mothers and all pregnant women (after all you already have children even if they haven't left the womb).
God bless,
Jay
