Pregnancy

The player as well as most companions can get pregnant during their travels in the Abyss. For any pregnancy a womb is necessary. Anybody with a vagina will at least have one womb. However, additional wombs can be acquired through Wacky Wombs regardless of a player or companions sex. Sex with fellow companions could lead to a pregnancy, but if Omnitool is taken, sex with monsters can also lead to a pregnancy. If insemination is conducted through tentacle sex it will lead to a player or party member birthing a tentacle monster.

### Pregnancy for the player

The players chance of pregnancy is dependent on the phase of their menstrual cycle. Between day 9 and day 18 of the cycle there is a chance of getting pregnant.

* a 6% chance on day 9
* a 12% chance on day 10
* an 18% chance on day 11
* a 24% chance on day 12
* a 30% chance between day 13 and 16
* a 20% chance on day 17
* a 10% chance on day 18

Absolute Pregnancy and Absolute Birth Control will always lead to a 100% and 0% chance in pregnancy, respectively, regardless of the day in the cycle. If player has Eggxellent the player can also not get pregnant and sex will only result in fertilized eggs.

Pregnancy will become apparent after a few weeks once the player's period is late for more than a few days. If the player never had a period before (the starting sex needs to be male for this to be possible) being late will go by unnoticed and player will only start to notice symptoms after day 45 into the pregnancy. The definite conclusion in that case will not be until day 180 and the players belly has swelled significantly due to pregnancy.

The player will be subjects to debufs because of the pregnancy, depending on how far along the pregnancy has progressed, with the second trimester giving the least amount of debufs and the final month giving the most severe penalties to both travel time and your combat power.

Once the baby is due, the player will go into labor to deliver the baby, triggering a special scene. The baby can not be kept and can not be interacted with in the game. After labor the player will suffer injuries and needs to rest for a few days before being able to continue traveling. The player will be at risk of monster encounters during this time so be aware.

### Pregnancy for party members

Party members can also get pregnant during your travel in the abyss. In contrast to the player the game does not track a menstruation cycle for each companion. Party members always have a 20% chance of getting pregnant if they have at least one womb.

Companions that were originally female will notice pregnancies quicker than male ones, making them comment on it earlier. Companions will get the same debufs as the player would get during their pregnancy and also have a labor scene once the baby is due. The scene will also stop the entire party for a few days.

### Pregnancy through body switching

A player or companion can get pregnant by switching bodies by using the Fate-crossing Star wonder if the other one was already pregnant. This pregnancy has to initially be induced by sex still. The switched target will take over all characteristics of the pregnancy of the original body, including how far along the pregnancy has progressed and whether or not it will be a tentacle monster. If a companion notices that aside from the body switch they are now also pregnant, they will in general react negatively.

### Parasite induced pregnancy

If a player is suffering from The Maxim they'll experience a pseudo-pregnancy. This pseudo-pregnancy will work much the same as the normal pregnancy, as it will also give debufs depending how far a long it has progressed and will eventually lead to a labor scene. However, unlike the normal pregnancy The Maxim induced pregnancies will only take 1 month instead of the usual 9 months.
