Pregnancy in T2K

[WallShadow]

Hmmm...seeing how it's been two years since the last active nukes fell, one wonders how the pre-natal care of a pregnant woman would evolve. This is assuming the devices/treatments were available.
An expectant mother wearing a dosimeter to monitor total body exposure?
Using a geiger counter on all foodstuffs and potables, as well as scanning the domicile and belongings for any hot spots?
Re-establishment of a community "Laying-in house" to keep as many environmental contaminants away from the pregnancy?
Extra reliance on people with herbalist/botany/wilderness survival skills to provide the maximum vitamins and minerals?
PCs scrounging wish lists start including material for diapers, blankets, old-fashioned baby bottles, rubber nipples, baby clothes?

I feel that unless a pregnancy is essential to a plotline, it should be a mere footnote to the game. "Oh, look, that merchant's wife is pregnant. Maybe we can trade some vitamins or medical supplies for a better price on the <whatever>." GMs need to be very careful about the prospect within a PC group. Let's face it, if a female character is raped and becomes pregnant, this will be a really ugly path no matter what the end result may be.
