Oddly I don't think that can be a full 100% due to infant death during or shortly after birth.
The mother ingested water. We're in a thread based on the host consuming things
The host is a great description, going to have to start using that.... well maybe not.
The way it lands would probably depend on context, including who the speaker is. Having a uterus and calling yourself a "potential host" is vastly different from someone else, for example RFK Jr, using the term to refer to others. One is a deliberate subversion of the expectation that anyone with a uterus is supposed to be pro "having babies." The other can be straight-up dehumanization (depending on how it's used.)
Being on the internet, where the sex and gender of a speaker aren't always obvious, you're probably making a wise choice by avoiding the term.
With all that said, as a uterus-haver, I still laughed when I read it. So... ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
I for some reason though of it being used in the worst video dating reel. Think "lowered expectations" but with some modern "trad wife" wanting asshat.
