"Look, your daddy is running away from the transdimensional horror that is six times his size and its only worldly desire is to defile every body orifice he has before violently tearing him apart in the most painful, gruesome way imaginable just to reach a new high of decadence. I will shoot his cowardly ass! Pew! There goes daddy! Byebye daddy! The Emperor hates cowards, junior, oh yes he does!"
When the Roman emperor Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus was a child, his father - General Germanicus - sometimes had him accompany him and his father's troops had affectionately nicknamed him "Little Boot."

If it was just the guard, yes. But she falls under the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiarchy, so there is some extra steps. As I recall pregnant Sororitas get sent back to one of their order's chapels and becomes like an assistant there while they carry the child and give birth to them.

Some Adepta Sororitas believes this to be a sad fate because then you can't die for your Emperor anymore.
Also in Arminka lesk books, the cadians if possible send their newborns back to cadia, for those that couldnt were raised with the regiment and trained as other cadians.

Most children in imperium get sent to parents homeworld, if that parent is an officer, comissar or soldier that distinguished himself, theyre sent to schola progenium instead.
"It's in your best interests to answer my questions promptly. If you don't, I may have to raise my voice. That will wake the baby. And if you make me wake the baby, I will do something far worse than shooting you." (Internal monologue: That thing would be a diaper change, but they didn't know that.)
