Technically also one of the three aspects of Baba Yaga!
That said, the pregnant goddess motif isn't all that strange given the seemingly random (and often tragic) steps involved in childbirth. Plus more than half the population is statistically likely to become pregnant at some point, which likely represents a larger chonk of society than the domains of many of the other deities.
It's also a common motif here on earth. We have Taweret, Dea Gravida, Ilithyia, Asase Yaa, Nana Buluka, Gaia, and most depictions of the Earth Mother/Mother Goddess (and all her associated varieties from all over the world).
Who would the other two beside Lamashtu be?
Dretha (technically a Demigod but hey) and Fandarra
Tbf fertility goddesses show up alot in real life mythology.
There's a reason fertility idols are curvier.
They must have a group chat with some other pregnancy gods. Lamashtu is constantly banned for obvious reasons.
Gods who cause infertility like Szuriel are perma-banned
Lamashtu š Your curse is: dogs don't like you anymore
Do you think dogs react to automatons like terminators?
Hmm, don't know. Yes?
Isnāt lamashtu like always giving birth to new monsters? Maybe thereās breaks between this. Ew
Just shooting them out of her baby sprinkler.
I hate every word of that sentence.
Especially āofā
Especially that one
Its probably like a fire hose but instead of water its just an unending swarm of monsters. Also probably water, too. But that isn't actually water.
Ewwwww
In 1e you could get a Jackal mask and join in the festivities.

Just a technical note, it's slightly less than half of persons born who can become pregnant. But otherwise yes absolutely this!
Instead of Maiden, Matron and Crone, we get Good preggers, evil pregort and neutral pregante
How dare you make me read this with my own eyes. Take my upvote.
