#and yet I'm tossing and turning thinking about my transmasc-Ben-gets-pregnant-and-doesn't-know-what-to-do fic idea

Curious how Ben being pregnant would work with the Omnitrix. I think it would most likely lock him out of transforming (except for emergencies) as soon as the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall. It's not "alive" yet, but this is when the fetus' cells begin to divide and multiply, thus I don't think playing with its DNA by transforming would be a good idea.

On the other hand, I could also see the Omnitrix locking out only certain transformations like, say, Goop or Upgrade or Graymatter, because those forms couldn't support a human fetus.

That is to say, the Omnitrix transforms Ben's body into, I don't know, Shocksquatch, and keeps the human uterus with the human fetus the same. Maybe move some alien organs to the side to make sure everything has adequate room. This would become harder to do as the fetus grows. I think the final month would result in a lock-out, anyway.
