John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone, but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit.
A seed sitting by itself is nothing, but as it is planted and dies, it brings forth life and much fruit. So Christ did for us. He died that we might have everlasting life, and bring forth much fruit.
So a woman, as she carries a child within her, gives of her life giving nutrients to the growing child. Then she suffers near death to deliver this child into this world. Thus giving life. And it does not end here. As she then nurtures this child, her own self interests die, as she gives her time and love to the life of the child she loves.
