Imperiled in Pregnancy; the Berserk example also falls under Mystical Pregnancy
Pregnant women are harmed or even killed in some way. Combining Would Hit a Girl and Would Hurt a Child, it's done both as a seriously tense and/or horrifying moment due to both a woman and their unborn child at risk, and to show the vileness of the assailant for doing so. And how serious the stakes are when this can happen. Examples include Ganishka horribly mutating the fetuses in pregnant captives to create demon warriors, the terrible things the SCP Foundation does to SCP-239 so the Fetus Terrible doesn't get out, or the Comedian shooting his pregnant Asian Babymama after she gives him a scar
