The events of episode 17 eventually lead to the revelation that

> Kokoro is pregnant with Mitsuru's child

In episode 22 New Nana states that this diagnosis was obtained primarily from
old-world information regarding hormone levels. New Nana then goes on to state
that pregnancy inhibits a Pistil's ability to pilot a Franxx, with the two
courses of actions being:

  * Stay out of the action until the child is born, or
  * Abort the foetus

Which begs the question, was this the first recorded instance of a Pistil
becoming pregnant? From Original Nana's flashback in episode 18 we know that

> Neither Kokoro and Mitsuru, nor Hiro and Zero Two are the first Parasite
> pairing to fall in love

But how is it known that pregnancy interferes with the ability to pilot a
Franxx if she is the first of her kind to be affected?
