Say, a male human turns into a female human and gets pregnant. The magic that is childbirth would make that the spell would become undispellable, as if the base form of the polymorphed person would change. This would mean that it the creature is polymorphed again, and that polymorph is reversed, the form they revert to is the pregnant female form. The same goes with polymorphing into a form that can not naturally become pregnant. If a pregnant woman, polymorphed or not, turns into, let's say, a T. Rex, the pregnancy would obviously not work, as T. Rex(...es? I guess?) are not mammals, and thus have no wombs. If they do-I haven't studied T. Rex autonomy, so I could be wrong- they are not fit for carrying a live child, only for laying eggs, but thats beside the matter. Same goes with transforming into a man, as they can also not become naturally pregnant. The baby would go to hyperspace/ a pocket dimension, whatever rows your boat, and as soon as the mother transforms into a form suited for pregnancy, the child gets placed into the womb again. This is known as pausing the pregnancy.When a pregnant woman is polymorphed into a form that is able to become pregnant (i.e. female human to female dwarf), the pregnancy would continue, but 2 weeks before coming to term, the pregnancy cycle would still be paused, just like female ---> male transformations and the like.Anything that I have said in my previous post that does not clash with what I said here (I.E. that polymorph allows pregnancy and stuff) still counts. That includes the time limit of the undispelleriness by the way.</blockquote>
