Indeed, the mother bore many heavy burdens in carrying him.
الْأُمُّ — the mother. This noun carries al- 'the' and is the subject of 'bore', wearing the subject-style -u ending that marks her as the doer. Arabic places the subject after its verb here, and the -u ending is what identifies it as the agent. So 'the mother' is the one who endured the burdens.
