The self-sacrificing, servant aspect of the Christian life has many parallels to parenthood.
Parenting is not for sissies. You have to sacrifice and grow up.
Raising or caring for children requires sacrifice and service, which, I believe, heals us from the destructive forces of self-centeredness.
You make sacrifices to become a mother, but you really find yourself and your soul.
I think we've moved to thinking of parenting and pregnancy as something in which you should lose yourself.
Parenting isn't just parenting your own child.

Parenthood is a very, very intense experience.
Self-development is a higher duty than self-sacrifice.
