Typically, maternal instinct implies that a woman wants to have children. More commonly, maternal instinct refers to the concept that, somehow, a woman's nurturing intuition will naturally kick in after giving birth. Suddenly, she'll know exactly what that baby needs, and she'll naturally transition into parenthood with zero issues along the way. It almost exclusively focuses on women and children. This reinforces the idea that women not only want children, but are also innately equipped to care for them.
