Each town can have at most 120 creatures active in it at any one time. They are referred to by numbers 0 to 119. Different ranges of numbers are used for different sorts of creatures:

0-3: The party. The player’s characters have numbers 0 to 3.
4,5: Added characters. You can use calls to have a character travel with the party. That character will be put in one of these two slots. You can only add two characters.
6-85: Placed town characters. You can place up to 80 characters in a town. When you select a character in a town, you will see the character’s number to the lower left. That is the number the character will have in the game. Those preset characters are the only characters that can ever be in these slots. If you place an ogre in slot 43, slot 43 will only ever contain that ogre.
86-119: Added creatures. These slots are for wandering monsters, summoned creatures, and creatures that split.

I believe but cannot corroborate that in some aboriginal culture, it was the norm for the heavily pregnant woman to slip away for childbirth and within a short time (minutes) come back to the perhaps travelling tribe.

As far as I know, the more matriarchal and undiluted the culture, the less likely the mother would die in childbirth.
