biological mothers
Women who conceive
Biological mothers are women who have given birth to or genetically contributed to their children, as distinguished from adoptive mothers, stepmothers, or other maternal figures.
The term emphasizes the genetic or gestational relationship rather than the social or legal one.
It appears frequently in discussions of adoption, surrogacy, and blended families.
