1 Nephi 17:1, 20

1 Nephi 17:1

And it came to pass that we did again take our journey in the wilderness;

and we did travel nearly eastward from that time forth.

And we did travel and wade through much affliction in the wilderness;

and our women did bear children in the wilderness.

1 Nephi 17:20

And thou art like unto our father,

led away by the foolish imaginations of his heart;

yea, he hath led us out of the land of Jerusalem,

and we have wandered in the wilderness for these many years;

and our women have toiled, being big with child;

and they have borne children in the wilderness

and suffered all things, save it were death;

and it would have been better that they had died

before they came out of Jerusalem than to have suffered these afflictions.
