A male ovum is deprived of the full spiritual energy and dies.

Now see this would be reasonable if it weren't for a couple of details in the setting. Namely:

1. The Mamono Lord changed things so that monsters fundamentally cannot (or at least will not) kill a human via mana drain. At the very least they can readily choose when to stop feeding or to feed at all (unless they are starving).

2. A male ovum wouldn't produce much mana to feed on to begin with, making it easy for a monster's body to ignore it as a source of food.

3. Married monsters find all male mana aside from their husband's either tasteless or disgusting and will not feed on it provided they have a choice in the matter. This would presumably apply to her unborn son's mana provided she is married, she would be physically and mentally unwilling to feed on it.
