English term or phrase: Mothers at waiting
"Unfortunately there is no real cure for phishing attacks aside from paranoia-level vigilance on the case of the end user. Fraudsters can launch personal phishing campaigns, directed at employees of a certain organization or mothers at waiting. There are numerous ways to take the bait: accessing public Wi-Fi, logging into a fake website or following a link in a “cool” discount email promising exclusive Black Friday or Christmas deals. It’s impossible to enumerate all the cases".

What does "mothers at waiting" refer to?

Thanks in advance!

От фишинга нет универсального лекарства, кроме бдительности на грани паранойи. Проблема в том, что эта зараза похожа на грипп — постоянно мутирует и меняет методы атаки. Мошенники, стоящие за фишинговыми операциями, могут запустить персональную кампанию, направленную, например, только на сотрудников определенной организации или лишь на ***кормящих матерей.*** Такой вредоносный маркетинг.

  -> Thank you, Charles.

agree  Jack Doughty: You are right. The English is wrong too, should be "mothers in waiting" meaning expectant mothers i.e. pregnant women. So a wrong translation into bad English.
