Matthew 24:19

And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! - Matthew 24:19

The Lord addresses the women in this verse, particularly two sets: pregnant women and nursing mothers. There is an affinity, a close toe between mother and child, in medical science this is called Maternal Fetal Attachment.
This emotional tie would be an stress on the women who would have been abandoned by their husbands.
What horrible time it would be for them. Thanks to God, a special grace would be released to them, such grace no man can have.
