Meschenet was in die Egiptiese mitologie die godin van kindergeboortes en die skepper van elke kind se ka, ’n deel van die Egiptiese siel, wat sy met die geboorte in hulle geblaas het. Sy is van die vroegste tye deur die Egiptenare aanbid.

In Antieke Egipte het vroue die lewe geskenk deur op twee stene te hurk, en Meschenet is met dié vorm van geboorte verbind. Sy is dus soms uitgebeeld as ’n steen met ’n vrou se kop en ’n koei se baarmoeder daarop. Ander kere was sy ’n vrou met ’n koei se baarmoeder as deel van haar kopstuk.[1]
