** Cat pregnancies are depicted as longer than they actually are. Birthing is also portrayed as [[ScreamingBirth painful, difficult]] and as [[DeathByChildbirth prone to complications]] as human childbirth, as well as very quick, with the kittens coming one right after another and the whole thing lasting less than an hour. In real life, cat births are much easier than human births, a trait common in all quadrupeds -- for obvious reasons, the less likely an animal is to die in childbirth or miscarry, the likelier it is that she will pass on her genes in surviving offspring. As such, natural selection has ensured that most mammals can give birth with ease -- human childbirth complications are mostly due to our fairly quick shift to full bipedalism causing some drastic rearrangements of our internal anatomy that we haven't had time to evolve past yet. Also, cat births tend to be fairly long -- the whole process usually takes up to twelve hours, with the mother having time to thoroughly clean and groom each kitten before the next is born.

* In ''Literature/TheImmortals'', a pregnant dragon who's already at the point of having contractions miscarries and the contractions stop. Daine, who's only just learned how to heal mundane animals, has a bout of PowerIncontinence and heals her - the dragon's fetus returns to life and the contractions start again, and she flies off to give birth. In live bearing animals, regardless of whether a fetus is alive it still has to leave the womb and contractions continue regardless. Admittedly, this is a dragon.

* In TheFuture of ''Literature/TheShipWho Killed'', humans are LongLived and often still active over the age of a hundred. It's common for people to bank sperm or ova, letting them have children later or allowing widows and widowers to have SomeoneToRememberHimBy. Helva goes on some "Stork Runs" with [[HandyHelper Kira]] - after the population of the planet of Nekkar is unexpectedly sterilized and its gene banks are destroyed, they take them a cargo of fertilized ova of similar genotypes, kept alive in "ribbons". Helva relates the stored embryos to herself in her [[ManInTheMachine titanium life-support shell]] with the difference being that these will one day leave their cocoons, and jokes that when they leave her hold she's giving birth to thousands at a time.
