He is the One Who created you from a single soul, then from it made its spouse so he may find comfort in her. After he had been united with her, she carried a light burden that developed gradually. When it grew heavy, they prayed to Allah, their Lord, “If you grant us good offspring, we will certainly be grateful.”
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

And when he [i.e., man] covers her,2 she carries a light burden [i.e., a pregnancy] and continues therein.
