Basic Trope: Pregnancy, birth and parenthood Played for Horror.
- Straight:
- Alice is impregnated with a Fetus Terrible after a medical accident at a fertility clinic. During her pregnancy, she undergoes Sanity Slippage in which she begins believing that her baby is some kind of Dark Messiah, unnatural weight loss, and her foetus is seen as a visible outline on her stomach.
- A human birth is portrayed in a film as something horrific, painful, and gruesome.
- A astronaut is infected with an alien parasite without knowing and has unprotected sex with his wife, resulting in a pregnancy that lasts for two hours before the Half-Human Hybrid baby viciously tears itself out of the woman.
- Exaggerated:
- A game features a Womb Level that's LITERALLY a womb. The boss is a giant, grotesque Fetus Terrible covered in Volcanic Veins.
- A villainess kidnaps Alice and Bob's infant son Charlie by lifting him out of his crib and putting him to her stomach, causing his body to disappear into light and her belly to swell up as though she's actually pregnant.
- Breeding Slave
- Chest Burster
- Inverted: Pregnancy, birth and parenthood are all portrayed as being beautiful things.
- Parodied: Alice is in labor at the hospital, and when she's told to push, a giant, monstrous hand comes out of her uterus and attacks the doctor.Doctor: What, ANOTHER one of these?! (pulls out a shotgun and starts fighting the hand)
- Played For Laughs: Alice and Bob avert No Pregger Sex, provoking the baby to viciously attack Bob's penis.
