After you have been married for a season or so, your wife (or yourself if you're playing the Girl version) may wake up one morning feeling ill. The two of you will head to Hardy's clinic and you will discovers that you're about to become parents!If you don't see this family event a season after marriage, make sure that you have kept your spouse's Love Points above 60,000 for 30 days.

When 60 more days have gone by your child will be born. If you can't remember when the due date is your spouse will remind you the day before. As soon as your child is born the game will skip ahead 3 years and your new baby will become a toddler. There are 5 different styles of children you can have. Which person you selected as a spouse will determine what type of child you can have.

In the girl version of Harvest Moon DS your child can be male or female. The child's clothing colors are exactly the same for both genders. In the boy version of HMDS your child is always male.

In HM DS Cute the child's gender is randomly set at your wedding ceremony, and you will not know what it is until the child is actually born. There is no way to force the child to be a girl or a boy.

If you choose to marry the special characters like Leia, Witch Princess, the Harvest Goddess, or Keira, the child those women will have will randomly be selected from the 5 styles available. In the girl version the random child style will be available for Skye and the boys from Mineral Town. If you had saved your game the night before you child was born and when it popped out it wasn't the style you wanted, just reload and you get another chance of getting the type you want. Keep in mind that this does not work in real life!

The child does not have the same personalities as in A Wonderful Life and each of the 5 are exactly the same; they just look different. After you child is born Barney's Circus will move into the valley. You can find him and Mimi down by Galen and Nina's house. Hugh and Kate will also grow to their teenager forms. One more big event will take place in the valley but that's something you have to see on your own.

Your child will grow into 2 more stages; a kid (9-years old) and a teenager (about 15 years old). Each stage change will take 2 years (240 days) to complete. When your child reaches the last stage it will stop growing. No matter how old your son (or daughter) is the child will never help you with any of the farm work. The child also does not ever marry any of the other residents in the valley.
