I guess I fail to see what would differentiate between a father/mother. Like why does any option make a difference?
Mothers sometimes have complications during birth. This can cause considerable physical difficulty in the following months. Here's some advice about recovery after c-section. http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Caesarean-section/Pages/Recover...
This post was written by a female parent. We call those "mothers". If it had been written by a male parent it would have used the word "father".
There is currently a gender imbalance and so posts from people who are not male have some interest.
