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.

See, I'm told by a transexual I know online that sudden injections of hormones can make you go all OTT emotionally, but I get the feeling most people writing mpreg don't *know* that and are just over-compemsating. What, like men don't like kids unless they're turned into women? Err... wtf?!

Sort of related is the way they always want to, like, have the baby even though it's insanely dangerous. But I have Issues with how fic gets all "Omg no it child of OUR LOVE" about abortion when the pregnancy is due to some weird shit like aliens. "Hey, I've been knocked up by aliens. CHILD OF OUR LOVE!" *headdesk* It's not like I want them all to abort the thing - because, hey, pregnancy/baby fic so they can't really - I'd just like some actual consideration of the thing when it's an unexpected and usually bizarre pregnancy.
