From what little is known about the races and childbearing, it seems like the length of pregnancy for some of the races differs from the usual nine month period for humans. Dwarves seem particularly short, since we see that Felsi and Oghren had their baby within approximately 6 months. Was this intentional or just a timeline flub? I would imagine that Elves would be fairly similar to humans, since they can crossbreed. Qunari are a mystery, and it seems there is relatively little known about the infancy of Darkspawn. Just that they come from a Broodmother.

Do Darkspawn have an infancy period? Or are they born prepared for battle and in their state as we see them? I almost picture them having a larval state, but I could be wrong. Image IPB

The period of gestation in any story exists in direct correlation to the amount of hand-waving required by the plot, so ranging all the way from InstaBaby ™ to EternaBaby ™.

This is known as the "Baby in a Goldfish Bowl" Effect.

As for darkspawn, you saw their larval stage (or a mutated version thereof) in Awakening, actually.
