Yes. Thank you. I just revised the earlier post a bit. I was not referring to the baby being born in that first post.

When a baby is born, only the baby and the mother really suffer. Everyone else is happy.

Even the mother’s suffering is overcome by the mentally made-up “assada”: the fact that now she has her own child.
– Also, the release from the pain gives rise to happiness too. But during child birth it is suffering that she experiences.
