Pregnancy is seldom discussed outside of the context of procreation. In Kingdom Animalia, pregnancy is always about the fertilization of the ovum by a spermatozoon, the development of the foetus in the uterus and its delivery into this world as a neonate. Biologically, females are the only gender capable of being impregnated. Much is done in the medical world to defy our natural sexual characteristics – by sexual transplants, introduction of various hormones into homosexuals, etc. But pregnancy for a non-female is a concept that may only be possible in the movies (reference: “Junior” which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger). Pregnancy is natural in females – beast or human. For female beasts, not being capable of pregnancy is not an issue. Unless, of course, there are studies to prove otherwise. But under normal circumstances, it is only in humans that not being capable of pregnancy is an issue. Although pregnancy is taboo due to laws and cultural conditioning in some countries, it is not so and even encouraged in others, especially in Asian countries. A Chinese family becomes distressed when pregnancy does not occur after a certain period of time. There are psychological issues that affect married couples that cannot make pregnancy happen. There is something in clan/family/tribe propagation that generates an inexplicable pride in the prospect of and the pregnancy itself. While it is the woman who gets pregnant and carries the child, it seems that the father is the one who basks in its taking shape. It is probably because it is a proof of his virility and ownership. Absence of pregnancy for a certain period of time sometimes causes for the man to desert the wife and take on another so as to be able to procreate successfully. There is also the matter of unwanted pregnancies. To most women, pregnancy is an achievement, a milestone – something to be proud of. It can also be a source of pain and shame if it has taken place in a manner that is not conventionally and socially acceptable, not only to the girl or woman, but to the whole family as well. Especially to families which are closely knit in parochial communities. Given the above premises, pregnancy, while it can only happen to a woman, is not exclusive in its cause and effect. It is something that needs to seriously be considered by all members of the human race. After all, pregnancy was the only method and vehicle by which all of us came into being. Unless, of course, you are some kind of a God who just descended unto the earth without the encumbrance of a mother’s pain and suffering during childbirth.
