I love diving into supernatural lore, and werewolf pregnancies are such a fascinating topic! From what I've gathered through books like 'Blood and Moonlight' and urban fantasy series, there are some wild signs. First, the cravings get intense—think raw meat, rare minerals, or even weird stuff like tree bark. Mood swings are another big one, but imagine them amplified by lunar cycles. The mother might also start shifting involuntarily, even outside full moons, which sounds exhausting. Some stories mention accelerated healing or heightened senses before birth, almost like the body's prepping for a hybrid pup.
Then there's the physical side: enlarged canines, claw-like nails that don't retract, and sometimes a glowing eye color (gold or amber, usually). I read a fan theory that the baby's heartbeat syncs with the mother's during shifts, which is equal parts creepy and poetic. Folklore varies, though—some tales say the pregnancy lasts only five months, while others describe a grueling 11-month gestation with violent 'growth spurts.' Makes human morning sickness seem tame!
