OK, so that was your physical preparation. Did you do any mental preparation?

这是你的身体准备。那你做什么心理准备了吗？

That all has to do with mental preparation.

这一切都与心理准备有关。

And since women usually start this mental preparation well before trying to conceive, several years often pass between the thought and conception, let alone birth.

通常女性会在计划怀孕前就做好充分的精神准备，先不说分娩，在这种精神准备和怀孕之间也许会间隔好几年。
