This title plays on multiple meanings—it's a pun on “mother lode” (a rich source of something), while also suggesting the literal and symbolic load of motherhood. The hatching chicks and the egg carton on her head evoke fertility, birth, responsibility, and the mental burden or societal expectations tied to nurturing.
