It would be pretty funny if they melded the dwarven 'mood' system with dwarven pregnancy?

Every pregnant dwarf would fall into a mood, she'd take over a room and gather materials (always food, sometimes booze) and the 'artifact' would be the baby.

They'd have to mellow out the downside and take out the insanity from a gameplay part though, maybe just make them really unhappy if you can't supply them with what they're craving.

That's awesome, except we couldn't sell the babies on the black market.*

A mood could also make it marginally less likely that the pregnant mother or newly newborn would get stabby-stabbed. I would also find it amusing. However, I think I could see some downsides. What is the RL gestation time for dorfs? I don't know if you'd want the mood to last the whole time, maybe just near the end.
