What if Vegeta was female?

[Piccolo Daimao]

Piccolo, why so brutal? Human pregnancy and labour is long and bloody comparing to other mammals. Shortening and making this part lighter would be perfectly OK. And even so we had examples of heroines taking part in battles being in late pregnancy and give birth on the battlefield.
Describing Saiyan pregnancy I had an idea that hiding that as long as it was possible was estimated as a good manner. The protagonist to horror or readers and assisting Ginyu Force preform caesarian section on herself. It was cold outside, so he used war prisoners as an incubators*. My beta wanted blood, so she got it:P

*Good patent from our past. Actually, medieval doctors used pigs, but where to find one on battlefield.

I know, but I don't think Vegeta would be the kind of person that would stop training just because she was pregnant. In fact, I think Saiyan women in general continued fighting on the battlefield and occasionally suffered miscarriages, until they were heavily pregnant, at which point they'd have to stop, since pregnancy would prevent even Saiyan women from fighting. But I think Vegeta would either continue training or abort the baby. Or if she left it too long that abortion was impossible to do by a doctor, she'd abort it herself by killing the baby, either by herself or someone else, like how Vegeta persuaded Kuririn to blast through her so she could get a Zenkai.

Regarding the pregnancy thing, considering Saiyans are a warrior race, I always figured they had a very short gestation time. I can’t picture female Saiyans being happy to be sedate, so I image they just evolved to bypass that.
Or something like that.
I have way too many theories about DB races.

Self made abortions are dangerous to the mother and usually need long recovery. Technically the surgical abortion can be preformed till labour, but then it's usually named "infanticide".

Why do you consider pregnancy as a problem? Female mammals live and hunt being pregnant, human woman used to work physically till last days. Sayians are described as strong strong, able to bear more than we can image. In my vision that wasn't visible and didn't interfere with diurnal activities. Like cats and dogs.

You imply that Sayians consider their children as a problem with fighting, but forget that desire to preserve genes is imprinted to every living being and usually revealed in any form. I think that some kind of maternal instinct was necessarily to keep the society alive.

Also, sex is fun. Don't take that simple pleasure away from Sayians.

[StarRot]

Physical work is vastly different to fighting, though.
Then again, Saiyans are tough aliens, so maybe they could fight whilst pregnant.

... That bump would be a big target, I think. =P

[Piccolo Daimao]

Well, yeah, perhaps Saiyans did evolve to bypass the effects of pregnancy, so they could fight until they were close to birth. But if that's the case, then I think there would be a lot of miscarriages.

And on the subject of self-made abortions, I know that they can be dangerous to the mother and usually need long recovery, but I just figured that these are Saiyans, a warrior race who are incredibly strong, so I doubt self-made abortions can cause that much damage to a Saiyan woman, at least damage that can't be patched up in a healing chamber.

But I'm just imagining whether or not Vegeta would keep the baby and then go on to give birth to it, considering that training, becoming a Super Saiyan and surpassing Goku would be all she cares about, and she may self-abort with the mindset that pregnancy would just get in the way.

[StarRot]

As cold as Vegeta is, I think a self abortion would be fairly traumatic.
I think fem!Vegeta would countinue training (maybe not as hard as normal), give birth and then dump the baby with the father.

[Eire]

Or maybe help her? Power increase as a bonus- that would work.

Miscarriages aren't rare in natural environment. Nature eliminate imperfect foetuses and value mother's life more than hypothetical baby.

And I don't know why do you insist on that abortions- they are always a risk, especially those self-made. (Rhett from Gone with the Wind was perfectly right about them).
You at one point see Saiyan woman as humans (pregnancy as a problem) but on other point you claim that they are "different". Make up your mind. If for Saiyan woman pregnancy was a big deal abortion left them with bloody injures in vulnerable place inside body, open gates for infections and there's now way that they could take it so lightly.

Society to go on needs babies, so they just can't see them as utter trash. Sayians were more like Spartans- keep just healthy ones, and estimate mothers who can give birth to them without a noise.

I know, but...it's Vegeta. She cares about no-one but herself, and training to defeat Goku and become a Super Saiyan. I wouldn't rule out the possibility of her self-aborting the baby if she thought that the pregnancy may hold her back. Remember that this is the guy who told someone to blast out own guts so he could defeat Freeza.

And I'm not insisting on abortions. I'm just saying that it's a possibility. Not for Saiyan women in general - for a female Vegeta. They're different because they're barbaric warriors who care about battle alone, not to mention they're extremely strong and can recover from near-death via the use of healing machines. I'm not saying that they would self-abort. I'm saying that Vegeta may.

Nor am I ruling out the possibility that Vegeta would train through the pregnancy, give birth and dump it with the father. If Vegeta knows her biology, then perhaps pregnancy wouldn't hold Saiyans back at all. And I know that's a stretch - I'm just laying it out there.

[FEMALE-GOKU 23]

She could marry someone and it be only two people (Yamcha/Goku) forgive me if I did this wrong or think it's a crazy idea .

[StarRot]

I'm thinking Vegeta is too arrogant and impatient to bother to train someone.

Eh ... possibly. I'm still not entirely convinced. It's all speculation though. Kind of interesting to think about.

I’m not sure what you’re meaning?

Bonus not for someone, but to the mother. Considering that pregnancy is a great effort, it would be a nice compensate.

[FEMALE-GOKU 23]

well...I think she'd marry Yamcha because vegeta gets jealous of any men bulma had a crush on. You know when youger and wait i'm sure of Bulma used to have a thing with yamcha . if vegeta as a female Yamcha would dump bulma for fem!vegeta . And as for Goku I'd also think female vegeta would marry him why because...at first she'd hate him but then love him. For example: In this show I watch (I forgot ^,^")this girl got embressed of this boy because of some acendent he did now she hated him.but weeks later the boy save her life and she kissed him .......... sorry if this is not good enough .

Fair enough.

Human pregnancy and labour is long and bloody comparing to other mammals.

Because humans (and Saiyans) have gigantic complex brains.

[Eire]

Is it easier to believe in alien turning into giant ape, than the same alien having a different breeding habits?

As far I know it's actually a side-effect of the bipedalism. While it brought several evolutionary advantages, it also caused drawbacks

[GamingBuddha]

If Vegeta actually was a female and had the exact same personality, I don't think she would ever get pregnant. (S)he just doesn't seem like much of a parental figure to me, so I don't think she'd really put up with a baby for 9 months. I mean the only fatherly thing Vegeta ever did was attempt to sacrifice himself for his son. Since Saiyans aren't really into romantic love, she wouldn't ever really need to get married, and Trunks would never be born. I wonder how the Androids arc would work out after that. Maybe it would be Goten who came back after Gohan was killed...

I think we're looking at it from a storyline perspective. Since Vegeta being female can't affect the story that much, then the story would go similar. So if Trunks would exist, then Vegeta would've had to get pregnant by someone like Yamcha.

[Rocketman]

That requires Vegeta to consent to fucking Yamcha.

No offense to Yamcha, but PFFFTAHAHAHAHA
