Admittedly, I haven't read many mpreg fics, but, in general, the idea of a wizard couple desiring a child carried by one of the partners doesn't squick me. I can't think why it doesn't. That said, the sub-genre isn't one I seek out.
What I do mind is the idea of the hormonal, irrational pregnant woman that seems to have informed the characterization of the pregnant wizards in most of the few mpreg fics I've read because not all pregnant women behave in that manner; some women (every woman in my family, for example) take pregnancy in stride and are relatively serene throughout the experience. Where are those characterizations? I think I'd probably read more mpreg if I could find them (and I do tend to backspace out of most mpreg fics because of their summaries, which usually begin: "[insert character] has forced Harry to bear his child . . . ").
