No question that {puqloD qenglI'} means "bearing a son". (Also, nice use of [-lI'} "in progress" there!) Without an explicit {yatlh}, it might have been understood that she was carrying {qeng} the child in her arms.
Curious that he didn't use {ghubDaQ} "first-born child" which he introduced in HolQeD 9.3:8. I wonder if he forgot about it?
