Edit: And, wait, I'm not up on the show's mythology, but isn't Steven's mother supposed to be a gem? How can a genderless gem that just happens to look female be a little boy's mother, exactly?
The Gems can shapeshift, so the assumption is that Rose Quartz took on a fully functioning female form (say that 5 times fast) in order to conceive a child with Steven's human father. She died giving birth to Steven, which is why he has her gem imbedded in his stomach. It's not clear if the act of childbirth killed her (since they normally don't reproduce sexually), or that giving birth to him was some form of self-rebirth/reincarnation - which would be supported by the fact that several Gems like Jasper have referred to Steven as Rose.
