Examples
Human: Elira got her morning sickness rather early, but was through with it after two weeks. A friend of hers startet getting sick only in the second month but kept going until the sixth month. Elira was quite happy, that she was spared from this. Her eating habits were not changed much, except that she started to eat lots and lots more, when her seventh month began. But one occurance happenend nonetheless: One night, even the city guard was gone for the guard houses, she woke up and had this sudden urge to eat a big, raw piece of meat. They had no meat at home, therefore she woke up her husband, that he could get her some. He was not very eager to stand up and get the meat. In the end Elira was fast asleep again, before her husband was evendressed.
D'deepiens: Kachkach changed her eating habits dramatically from the first day on. She stopped eating vegetables and started to eat insects. The pregnancy slaves were coming and going all day long, to keep a steady flow of food for the pregnant women. From the 6th month on, she stopped moving around and became even more hungry. Her wrists would not have fit into the mouth of a hungry lion (at last, that was, what Kachkach thought).
5. Effects of Pregnancy
For most creatures, the pregnancy will not go unnoticed, even a race with a ddp of 2 will most often show signs: at least the weight of the woman will increase (although even this does not need to happen).
- Change of Libido
Some woman become increasingly horny during the pregnancy up to raping others. Or they become increasingly less likely to have sex, because they are disgusted by the thought alone or they are missing any inclination to do it. See Cdcp 2.
- Change of Looks
The woman experiences some alterations to her form, skin, abilities or other things visible to the outside. This effect may be pleasant, for woman and beholder alike, like the hair becoming thicker/ more beautiful, or a radiant look with shiny eyes and a catching happyness.
The change may be unpleasent like becoming fat (whole body or part of it), change of coloration (eyes, skin, fur, hair, wrists), change of features (teeth grow or fall out, hair falls out or grows to extremes all over the body, a tail, spikes, horns, fins, gils, scales, increase in size, contortion of the face, stripes all over the body, legs or arms fall of or grow inward, additional breasts, hands, arms, tentacles, psoydopods, legs or eyes grow, the mouth closes or increases in size, the woman becomes ethareal or solid).
The new looks may go away during the pregnancy, after the birth, after suckling the baby or even never. Or they may change again or go away when the next stage during the pregnancy is reached.
- Depressivity
Depressivity may have many reasons. The woman experiences the situation of her pregnancy as totally hopeless, because her husband left her, she may die during the birth, she is ill, the child is illegal/ illegitim, she does not feel beautyful anymore etc. On the other hand the reason may just be a change of the hormones. Some woman may try to commit suicide (these woman will be treated very harsh by most societies, because they endangered the child. ).

- Different Eating Habits
At some time during the pregnancy, a woman may develop strange eating habits. This may include eating at very unusual times (during the night), eating at unusal places (only on higher ground) or eating unusual meals (funny mixtures like strawbery pie with mustard, or something, that they would normally not eat (meat for vegetarians)). This may have a psychological reasons, like making a statement about the pregnancy, reasons of nurishment (the woman lacks some vitamins, minerals etc. that her body will get most easyly by eating the strange food, either for the unborn, or for the time afterwards, or for herself, because of the transformations her body goes through) or as a way of protection (eating the maggots, that would eat you).
This effect does not have to happen and the time in which it happens may differ widely (even for humans: just when you think it funny, that you never developed strange eating habbits, when it hits you in the last month).
- Eating a Lot
To get the nurishment required, a woman may start to eat more than usual. With healthy food, this is not required, even for most humans. Other races may have to eat a lot, to increase wight (maybe because they are to light and have to stay stationary during the pregnancy). Another reason for this special case of different eating habits are depressions and their compensation through food.
