In dogs it's whelping, in cats it's queening, in horses it's foaling, in egg laying reptiles it's clutching, what is it when our blueys give birth?

I think this is what its called: Ovoviviparous— Producing eggs that hatch within the female's body without obtaining nourishment from it.

parturition is not just a bluey word though...its just the technical term for giving birth. There probably is not a specific word for blueys...you could pioneer one!
