How to unlock the Joys of Motherhood achievement in Moonscars - Definitive Guide
Doing this achievement will lock you out of the Cruel Queen achievement. The Cruel Queen takes you to end game to complete, while this achievement can be done at about 75% complete. So if you do not want to play through a second time entirely, do Cruel Queen first. If you have planned ahead (and not run into any bugs), this is the only achievement that requires a second playthrough.
In the Earth Bowels, between Lajos' Rest and Abyssal Warmth mirrors, you can find Horpyna (the old had missing her eyes). If you have found both eyes, you can give them to her upon first meeting her (THIS IS REQUIRED). Afterwards, further on in the Earth Bowels, you will come upon the Holy Silence mirror. On the same floor, all the way to the west of the mirror, is a key item "Incomplete Mould". If you have already talked to the Gargoyles at the Kiln, you will need to return to them. If you haven't, start exploring downward until you find them (you will fight Lajos a second time just before reaching the Kiln). Exhaust their dialogue to reach a point where you bribe them with 10,000 bone dust to use the kiln for you. This gives you the "fired baby clayborn" in the achievement description. Return to Horpyna and exhaust her dialogue to give her the baby clayborn and unlock the achievement.
If you need her eye locations, you can find the right eye just east of the locked gate you need Wanda's key for in the Depths. The left eye is west of The Nursery mirror, past the elevator, in the tiny room on the west side of the pit.
It is required to give Horpyna her eyes back to complete this achievement. Tested on second playthrough, only one NPC can receive the eyes. So again, Cruel Queen is best done before this to save time.

I did the cloud save trick, as Dave Bodom said. It worked flawlessly.
You can, indeed, get both Joys of Motherhood and Cruel Queen achievements in one playthrough.

This guide didn't work for me. I gave the eyes to Horpyna when I first met her, killed Lajos, went to the Great Kiln, talked to the gargoyles, got the Incomplete Mould, came back to the gargoyles, paid the required amount of bone dust (10,000), went back to Horpyna to give her the Newborn Clay, but nothing happened. She keeps repeating the last line after I gave her eyes: "You're defiling the queen's presence! Leave now!".
I believe you need to talk to her before getting the Incomplete Mould, in order to trigger her request. So, if you skip this step, you'll get stuck on this quest.

Missable trophy. Blocks The Cruel Queen achievement
To complete it, you need to find two eyes and give them to Horpyna in the Earth Bowels: East location, after the first murder of The Cruel Lajos. It's hard to miss her. After that, she will ask you to find the Incomplete Mold.
Located in the same location, higher. Hidden in the shadows, you might not notice.
Once found, we go down to the very bottom in The Great Kiln to two gargoyles. We exchange them for 10,000 local currency for Newborn Clay. We return to Horpyna and the trophy is yours.
