So yes, it was a blessing. But it does not make her into a sinless, immaculately conceived, never died, perpetual virgin.
From Fulton J. Sheen:
Can religion do without motherhood? It certainly does not do without fatherhood, for one of the most accurate descriptions of God is that of the Giver and Provider of good things. But since motherhood is as necessary as fatherhood in the natural order—perhaps even more so—shall the devoted religious heart be without a woman to love?

Galatians 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Silly Fulton J. Sheen. He forgot to read God's word.

I’m not interested in religion.
Religion is bondage.
Freedom is in Christ.
