Lady CFII I have looked at all the links you provided and the only option you have basically given me is to uninstall the game and start new? I don't think so. I went back and looked and the only mothers who are affected by the glitch are those that I have used the time warp on. There is obviously a glitch in the game that will not allow time-warped women to have children. Well, they can have them, they just can't put them down. Starting the entire game over is not a good explanation of the problem since I didn't have the problem the others had with pausing the game a lot. I haven't paused the game since the first couple of days so that can't be the problem here.
