Pregnancy

Princesses can become pregnant after having vaginal sex, either while in Knight's party or still sitting on the throne. Chance for a pregnancy depends on each Princess's current fertility. Fertile period, length of pregnancy, and number of offspring depend on species (see below). You can check if a Princess is fertile (glowing ovary/ovaries), not fertile or pregnant using her Diary. The display also reflects the number of progeny she’s about to deliver.

Only reign Princesses and some route Princesses (Kobold, Dog, and Wyvern) can get pregnant. Side Princesses (such as Crusader or Moss) can never get pregnant.

Progeny do not get pregnant. Instead, they can be put in pairs in the Garderie to produce offspring.

## Purposes of pregnancy

* Princesses sitting on their throne must become pregnant and deliver an heir before they agree to elope with the Knight. The only exception is Mouse Princess.
* Progeny born from Princesses are of higher-than-average quality (better stat growths).
* Repeated pregnancies in a Princess equipped with the Father's Gift accessory are a way to farm Swirlies.

## Items that affect pregnancy

* For the **Knight**:
	+ Family Jewels: Prevents Princess' conception, but gives Swirlies every sex the Knight has sex.
	+ Shorty Special: Guarantees Princess' conception, and is needed to make non-living Princesses (Skeleton, Ghost, and Golem) pregnant.
* For the **Princesses** (equippable):
	+ Moonlight Charm: Prevents Princess' conception.
	+ Suction Urchin: Prevents Battle-Fucking.
	+ Pair of Red Thread Rings: Allows *moisture* to be teleported from one princess to another.
	+ Purple Lump: Makes an organic princess fertile (excludes: Golem, Skeleton, or Ghost*)*.
	+ Lump Pills: Speeds up Princess' pregnancy.
	+ Chunga Root: Increases birth rate of Egg-Laying Princesses by x2 (Applies to: Kobold, Insect and Moth)*.* Hatch Rate is uneffected*.*
* For the **Princess** (consumable):
	+ Oxytocin Salt on pregnant princesses will lower the pregnancy length.
		- If the pregnant princess is in the party, simply open your inventory and use it to the princess in question.
		- If the pregnant princess is still on the throne, gift them the item. Not only it will lower the pregnancy length, but it also confirm whether they're pregnant or not.
	+ Queen's Milk confers the following effects:
		- The "*pregnancy sickness*" is replaced with a "*pregnancy buff*", that increases all stats by 10%.
		- The Progeny will be of better quality (increased stats growth)!
		- The Progeny will have the curvier/bulkier body type available!

## Items that affect progeny

Item effects will apply on birth.

* Chunga Root: Frost Resistance. *Princess must have 4 LOVE*
* Bunnygirl Costume: Increases the quality of progeny. Different forms will interfere with the Bunnygirl Outfit.
* Father's Gift: Swirlies for Children / Eggs birthed.

"Never" needs special items or events to become fertile.

Note: Oni Princess can be pregnant.

## Tips:

The settings menu has a slider that lets you change pregnancy speed, from 0x (never get pregnant) to 3x.

The setting menu also lets you turn off battle-fucking to prevent pregnancies from combat.

While pregnant, princesses have a "pregnancy sickness" that lowers all their stats by 33%.

Change a princess' costume to easily see the baby bump.
