- Effects on the Magic a Woman may wield
A female arcane spellcaster or psionic may experience an increase of her abilities, because the additional soul in her body somehow augments her mana/ energy or her connection to her surrounding. On the other hand, she might experience a decline, because the change in her body interferes with the flow of magic/ psionic power. Divine spellcaster may be stripped of their power, because a pregnancy does not belong to the portfolio of their god and while they are pregnant, they implicitly revere another deity. A cleric of a deity of fertility may experience an increase of her abilities. Druids are a special case. Depending on their strictures, they will probably be required to become pregnant once in a while, with no bonus or malus.
- Gaining Weight
This is not the same as eating a lot. A woman may gain weight, because her metabolism changes and she is not able to go to the toilette. Most mammals will gain weight from about the middle of the pregnancy on. This will indicate the switch to the stage of pregnancy 2.
The gaining of weight may be slightly (+5% of the original weight) to severe (up to some 1000% for hive creatures)
-Insanity
Woman of some races will go insane (apart from becoming manic, depressive ir both) during their pregnancy. This may include a reduced sense of reality but can increase to a raving and other brutal and dangerous insanities. These insanities may be the result of depressivity or a manical period.
- Manic
Most women who are happy about the pregnancy will experience at least a short period, where they feel superior and capable of everything. Especially women with a dop of 1 are very likely to experience this. Sometimes this will go hand in hand with the depressivity and a woman may be manic about something and when she does not succeed will become depressed.
- Morning Sickness
A woman suffering morning sickness has an urge to vomit. This urge may be very strong, so that she will not be able to resist, or it is more that she just not feels well. The morning sickness may last 10 minutes, just after waking up, or it can last for the whole day but starts after eating something. Some women may experience this and are nauseated, others even may be stunned and even others are just dazed. Human woman may get morning sickness between the first and the 7th month the earlier month being the more usual. The period of morning sickness may happen not at all, may last a few day or last over 3 month. This seems to be random so far that fitness, eating or living habits have no influence on this. The same woman may feel severely sick during her first pregnancy and fine during her second (or vice versa). The reaction to the morning sickness, i. e. if a woman may be fatigued after vomiting or not, depends on the overall condition the woman is in.
- Reduced Logical Abilities
Some woman experience a decline in mental abilities during their pregnancy. The reason behind this may be the change of hormones, a reduction of blood circulation through the brain, an inward turn of all higher mental abilities, different things to think about, emotional overload, empathic contact to the child, loss of some part of the brain to the child, depressions, magical control etc.
The level of decline varies widely in will be lower with dump woman.
