Etymology
娠 combines 女 (woman) with 辰, which likely contributes the sound and may relate to the idea of stirring or quickening, as in the first movements of a fetus.
Meaning mnemonic
A woman 女 beside 辰, which resembles a stirring or quickening shape: imagine a woman feeling the first movements of a child inside her.
Reading mnemonic
For シン, picture a pregnant woman feeling a sudden shin kick from the baby: shin -> シン.
