Answers:
The planets/luminaries/houses/ signs which specifically relate to pregnancy and children are the Sun/5th house/Leo, the Moon/4th house/Cancer and Mercury/3rd house/Gemini.
If the above mentioned planets/luminaries/houses/ signs are highlighted in a person's birth chart, it indicates an emphasis on pregnancy and children in their life. If they are strongly influenced by Saturn (eg Saturn in strong aspect to the Sun or Moon), this indicates a small family, pregnancy later in life or the decision not to have children. A strong Jupiter influence (eg Jupiter in the 4th house) would indicate the potential for a large family.
Major progressions and transits to the Sun, Moon, Mercury or to planets in the 3rd, 4th or 5th house, may indicate a pregnancy. A classic indication of pregnancy is the Sun progressing the Moon, but even here, there will be far more than just this one influence indicating the event.
Another two planets which are frequently active at the time of having children are Venus (which rules women's issues) and Mars (the ruler of the first sign, Aries, and thus the "baby" of the zodiac).
A powerful Jupiter and/or Neptune transit, particularly to the Sun or Moon, is likewise common at the time of pregnancy and child birth, since Jupiter is the planet of expansion (in this case, of the family) and Neptune rules hospitals. I also find that Saturn is often active at this time in a person's chart (a Saturn contact to the Midheaven by transit or progression is particularly common) since Saturn rules serious commitment and added responsibilities.
When a specific luminary or planet is particularly highlighted by progression or transit at the time of a pregnancy, this frequently indicates the Sun sign under which the child will be born. For instance, a strong emphasis on Mercury is likely to produce a Gemini or Virgo child or a child with the Sun placed in the 3rd or 6th house.
Since the father is experiencing the birth of a child as well, similar influences will also be evident in his chart at the time of the conception and birth.
