We know that rats grow OK in orbital microgravity. Doesn't seem like strong gravity is required for mammalian morphogenesis to work.
"As we reported previously (Ronca & Alberts, 2002b), pre- and postflight body weights of dams and the body weights of the offspring used in these experiments were comparable across treatment groups. Within 48-72 hrs following landing, the rat dams that contributed offspring to the postnatal studies gave birth to healthy offspring."
