The Mother's body becomes infiltrated at the genetic level and mutates in order to incorporate the being she will bring into the World. She gets sick enough to vomit, part of her distends, her craving for nutrients gets high-jacked, the Baby fusses and kicks . . . in the end even though we get a new life and the fulfillment and common-place miracle of bringing a new life into the World: The birthing process can be dangerous for both Mother and Child . . . Body-Horror often has an element where the victim will go from being beside themselves at the changes being riven in their body: Yet also having moments of euphoria at recognizing some new power, ability or extreme sensation that their transformation gives them. I wonder if Layna is keen on having kids someday not just because she sincerely wants to have a Child to Love and care for but maybe out of interest in the process from that perspective of fascination with how her body would change and what she would feel through having another Being manifest through her.
