To me, the pattern on this spider's legs looks different than that of a Hogna sp., but I guess that's something that could vary a lot between individuals? And, I also couldn't find any info about Huntsman spiders' child-rearing habits (or lack thereof). Lol, I guess this lady spider is twinged with a wee bit of mystery but I concede with your tentative ID. =P
Britsnana, are you sure this isn't a huntsman spider - Sparassidae (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntsman_spider)? They're also in range.
It would also be of help to know how big this female was.
