Herm pregnancy

Anyone with a vagina can get pregnant. Anyone without a vagina cannot get pregnant, except in the sense of having eggs shoved up their ass.
Currently most NPCs do not support pregnancy content. Do not expect this to change. Writing kids is a lot of work and you have to be really into it to enjoy it. Currently only Renvra can impregnate you in the traditional sense, though the Queen of the Deep, cockvines, venus pitchers, and nyrea can all pack you full of eggs.

Cockvines don't pack you full of eggs, they pump your womb full of sperm and then the game checks whether you got pregnant. The offspring will be cockvines, though.
There are numerous reasons.
I personally will never write content to let you knock Ceria up no matter how many times you pack her so full of jizz she looks like you did, because a pregnancy would immediately change her entire character and for the worse. Getting pregnant means the party's over, time to be a responsible adult now. She'd immediately serious the fuck up, and that would pretty much be the end of hot rosette elf banging.
Even in cases where Steele's doing the mothering, pregnancy's a massive gamechanger. Either the father's obligated to become a follower (the most complex type of character to write) or a deadbeat dad. Neither is desirable unless you already wanted the character to be a follower from the beginning, and even among followers you might not want them to be that deeply involved with the PC.
It doesn't necessarily follow that an NPC *has* to join the PC's crew if they knock them up because otherwise they're A Bad Person, any more than a deep, serious relationship must ensue if the PC impregnates an NPC. That a lot more content and thinking has to be done for the NPC in question is inescapable, however, and that's the real breaker for preg stuff.
It was taken extremely casually for Amily, which had that as her character, and the PC. CoC had a world where reality was... suspect, especially petty things like time and distance. As such, popping babies in like two weeks was just part of the setting, no issues. TiTs is reality! In spaaace! Taking the usual time is a given.
Pregnancy for sapient NPCs is usually the barrier of entry for most pregnancy content due to the content load and attitude shift. Creature pregnancy (or impregnated by creatures/machines/tentacles) doesn't require too much follow-up, so that may be a viable alternative (as long as it doesn't fall into bestiality territory). It's just that there are more named NPCs than there are generic characters, so filling that void will entail coming up with new a race + lore and/or expanding on the existing roster for unnamed creature NPCs (which is a lot simpler than writing follower-level, in-depth pregnancy content, I'd say).
