Moon pregnancies and child development

Perhaps it is possible to have normal pregnancies in Space, but I
doubt it. In Space people will work in 0-G as a routine and switch
back and forth from 0-G to 1-G. Why? Because a large portion of the
jobs will be in assembling solar satelites, space carriers and
things like that.

Now, imagine, just imagine (I need confirmation in here) that the
first couple of day is critical for the normal development of the
fetus.... What will you do? Forbid women to work at space?

Think about it, and you'll realize pregnancies will HAVE to be done
with artificial uterous,
