The player will receive a notification when the pregnancy starts and when it progresses from one trimester to the next. The pregnant pawn will gain penalties to movement, manipulation, and hunger rate, increasing each trimester as seen in the chart below. Other than limitations due to movement, pregnant pawns have no restrictions on the activities they pursue. |

− | + | Depending on the quality, the baby can be born healthy or sickly, or they may die during birth. At lower qualities, there is also a chance that the mother can die during childbirth. The quality needs to be >90% for the best possible outcomes. Since the probability of a bad outcome increases drastically below 20% birth quality, it's strongly recommended to provide at least the bare necessities, such as a bed indoors, as even a few percent above 0% in birth quality will contribute massively to the outcome. | |

This is the only time where you can completely customize the baby's first and last names, and you additionally can add an optional nickname. The game will suggest the mother and father's last names on this screen, and provide random suggestions for the other names. Until then, the baby's name is temporary, and called "Baby <Mother's last name>". The baby will also receive the Childhood title "Newborn", and belong to the mother's faction. The baby's parents will receive a 15-day mood boost that "<Baby> was born healthy" {{Good|+8}}. |

If the baby is born sick, they are affected by a form of [[infant illness]], which can start at a variable intensity. If left untreated before 10 days is up, the baby dies, but if it lives through 10 days after birth, the illness will no longer affect the baby. You will also get the chance to name your baby. | If the baby is born sick, they are affected by a form of [[infant illness]], which can start at a variable intensity.

If the mother survived childbirth, she will remain in bed, incapacitated by exhaustion (Postpartum exhaustion) for 16 hours. She'll no longer feel any pain from childbirth, but won't be able to move.

While lactating, the pawn gains a milk fullness stat, which starts at 100%. When it is above 0%, a pawn can breastfeed any baby, reducing milk accordingly. If it is below 100%, then the mother's Food Consumption increases. Consumption increases by up to +0.5 [[nutrition]] per day, for a total of 2.1 nutrition per day, until milk is full. For reference, 1 [[simple meal]] is 0.9 nutrition. The increased hunger scales with milk regeneration rate, which decreases as the pawn gets hungry. | While lactating, the pawn gains a milk fullness stat, which starts at 100%.

This operation can upset the affected pawn. Depending on the trimester of the pregnancy, a moodlet of {{Bad|-5}} for the first, {{Bad|-10}} for the second, and {{Bad|-20}} for the third will occur, lasting for 10 days. If a pawn was not happy about the pregnancy, they will gain a {{+|5}} moodlet instead. If performed on another faction's pawn, it is considered a violation and will result in loss of [[goodwill]]. | This operation can upset the affected pawn.
