"To gates motherhood"? Are we missing an "of"? or am I not getting it?
You've managed to combine some plain language and realistic description with that state too often depicted with Hallmark-like cloyingness. In the past I've read about how nothing is more beautiful than a pregnant woman - the glow, the angel like smile, blah, blah. All that is true in the early stages, but you've described the other two-thirds well.
Re the last stanza: Will you be praying for her, or thanking God you can't get pregnant?
