English term or phrase: she'd carried me with the hopes
Salve, sto traducendo un articolo giornalistico sulle donne transgender, e mi chiedo se ho tradotto bene un verbo, poichè credo che si tratti di un'espressione slang.

Per rendere chiara la comprensione metto il paragrafo intero e il verbo su cui ho dubbi tra virgolette.


During the first five years of my transition, I had to educate my family. I would wage these personal wars with them, constantly telling them, “It is unacceptable to use inappropriate gender pronouns with me, to not refer to me as Danielle.” After all, my middle name has always been Danielle! (My father contended that it was misspelled, but my mother told the real truth—how she’d carried me'' with the hopes of having a girl. But upon learning that I was born male, she made it my middle name.)

pensavo di tradurre ''she'd carried me'' con ''lei mi teneva in grembo''.

dimenticavo: tenere in grembo non va bene, perché può voler dire tenere qualcuno "esternamente" in grembo.

mi nutriva avendo la speranza


Explanation:
Non so, o forse sì, ripropongo sempre una drammaticità nelle esperienze raccontate, liberate a tutti i tu ( il TOS della precedende domanda) che le leggeranno. Tu solo, però sai qual è il tono dell'originale.

how she'd carried me with the hopes
(di) come avesse portato in grembo con/insieme a me la speranza


Explanation:
"but my mother told the real truth—how she’d carried me'' with the hopes of having a girl"

"ma mia madre raccontò tutta la verità/come stavano realmente le cose: (di) come avesse portato in grembo con me/insieme a me la speranza di avere una femmina"

o "come insieme a me avesse portato in grembo la speranza..."

Io farei così. In italiano si può dire tranquillamente in senso metaforico "portare in grembo la speranza", quindi perchè no?
