Though I've seen many pcs have children over the years, I've only seen one actively try to have kids. 
I usually just wing the penalties- using the encumberance rules sounds like a pretty good idea, though. One thing to watch out for is critical hits to the belly... those lead to bad news if you're pregnant.

Aeolius (strange alter-ego for someone so interested in the sea; Aeolius is the Keeper of the Four Winds in Greek Mythology), you aren't an oceanographer, are you?Aeolius said:I am reminded of THIS THREAD

Back when I was in college, I did a paper on Aeolus for a mythology class. I also signed on to AppleLink: Personal Edition (later to become AOL) with the screen name Aeolius (combining Aeolus and Aeolian). I have kept it as my screen name ever since (coming up on 20 years).
As for being an oceanographer, nope. I do have 750+ gallons in saltwater aquariums, though.
My undersea campaign began in 1998, as a tropical and aquatic counterpart to the arctic campaign I was already running.There is a species of nudibrach known as aeolids, though...so I'm in the clear.

I don't have a problem with it. The only time it happened in a game I played in it was compelling. (I thought so anyway. The players were all good RPers.) We decided that we were going to kill the big bad guy as soon as possible, tie up any loose threads, then retire from adventuring for a year. We did so but the GM decided that one year turned into twelve years. My character stayed the same (he was a crazy old Gnome and the 'comic relief' of the party. Not very good as adventuring but good at finding information.) Everyone else made new characters and the son that was born from the last game became the party NPC wizard.

Dang. The few times it's normally happened, we either just dropped into downtime or used magic of some description to deal with it. Spells like GURPS' Transfer Pregnancy and the like. Or just used XX (I forget the herb name; it might have been something that just existed in the GM's world) to exercise the other option you have. Sounds like neither of the first two are an option for you, though you might look into some kind of... I don't know, whatever process is used to create a bag of holding and adapt it to the situation. That might work.Queen_Dopplepopolis said:

The Book of Erotic Fantasy spares a small sidebar for dealing with pregnancy.
