Anyone have any ideas for plot points, locales or other ways that pregnancy could justifiably fit into a game of D&D or whatever?

For example, I have an elven amazon race where access to the alchemical potion they use to procreate is restricted to the worthy, so the queens actually tend to be pretty much constantly pregnant.

I also have a forming idea for a kingdom of planetouched born from humans who drink the magical waters of an enchanted spring that impregnates the drinker.

...Actually, what is a more appropriate portfolio for a deity associated with pregnancy, childbirth, motherhood and sexual fertility?

Have you ever had pregnant warriors or mages show up in your games? Before you say that's impossible, I point you to all of these real-life examples of pregnant women going into battle or engaging in extreme feats of physical prowess: tvtropes.org
If they can do it in our world, then surely women in a world full of magic and monsters that operates on distinctly non-natural laws can do the same.

The Goddess of Evil is pregnant. Go stop that.

I'm sure we can make it part of the plot...

You could do a Fisher King type tale, but with a Queen.

Side effect of sex. Otherwise, it's probably not relevant.
But what if her child turns out to be Not Evil, or the God/Godess of Toothpaste or something silly? Seems like it could go either way, given mythology.

Marriage, which is a pretty big deal in a feudal society. Her priestesses (of course they're priestesses) could have a major role in relaying messages of courtship and arranging marriages among the nobility, which could also leave them in a pretty good position to act as unofficial diplomats.
Oh, and prostitutes. Pre-Christianity, temple prostitutes faithful to the local fertility goddess were pretty much normal, at least in the eastern med.
