The Egyptian goddess of childbirth, the personification of the rock on which the mother gives birth. Not only does she forms the child in the womb, but she is also responsible for creating the baby's ka. She is also a goddess of fate.

Mesenet is portrayed with a double coil on her head, which is sometimes regarded as being the uterus of a cow.
