...the pregnant guy ends up acting like 'a woman', i.e. weepy and emotional and over-cuddly.
Yeah, they do, don't they. Which is weird, because since when do (pregnant) women act that way? Emotional, sure. But cuddly? I'm thinking of that part in "Charmed" where pregnant Phoebe turns evil. Only she ends up destroying/vanquishing/ass-whupping more demons than she ever did when she was their enemy. Because when she was preggers, she had a hell of a temper! And being evil, she's surrounded by demons all the time, and they're always annoying her. So of course they have to die! (or whatever it is that demons do when they stop, well, living)
Cuddly my ass!
If anyone knows of some really good mpreg, I'd read it.
I second that. But I think it'd have to be something SF'ish, like a pregnant ALIEN guy (alien reproductive biology may be waaay different), or a guy from the far future where technology allows that sort of thing. Otherwise suspension of disbelief becomes a bit of a problem for me (YMMV).
It may be related to my problem of canonically straight characters suddenly becoming gay. These things (love affairs, pregnancies, drastic shifts in character) generally happen for a *reason*. Too many fics ignore the reason part.
