well, not too many of the books discussed it... only five books and at least one short story...
heard of rain wilders? they are all living proof of it... even bingtowners are affected, but not as greatly...
here's one mention of it from Ship of Magic:
These beings believe that unborn children are like open wounds where the effect of dragons are concerned... very easily affected...
These beings also believe that anyone in the midst of a change (human to Elderling) is incapable of birthing children capable of survival... That such children will have bodies that are a mixture...

Quote:For one horrific instant, Keffria's mind was carried back to the birth of her third child. Or rather, her third time to be brought to childbed, for no
child was born of that long pregnancy and painful labor. Only a creature her mother had neither allowed her to see nor to hold, something that had growled and snarled and thrashed wildly as her mother carried it from the room.
