a) Would an animagus pregnancy require remaining in the animal form during the whole period? 

a.1) How long whould this period be? The time the kind of animal would take to deliver a cub/whatever or the human span of ~9 months?

a.2) Would the child of two animagi become one as well, or is it still necessary to learn how to change?

b) Do animagi maintain their human gender? I mean, do men always change into male animals, and women vice versa? 

So, let me get what you're saying: if McGonagall was pregnant when she transfigured herself into the cat, would her fetus become a kitten fetus?  I should think transfiguration wouldn't be recommended for women who are pregnant.  There's probably something about changing your form that would be harmful to the baby.  I think transfiguration isn't something you inherit how to do, but rather something you can learn to do.  So even if your parents can transfigure themselves, you may not be able to.  I should think that you would maintain your gender when you transfigure.
