[QUOTE="Liquid Snake, post: 888479, member: 11628"] [b]Pregnancy[/b] Thought you might find this useful. On elven pregnancy: "The elven fetus gestates for approximately twelve lunar cycles. During pregnancy, the mother develops a bond with the developing child...At some time between the sixth and seventh cycles, the child's budding consciousness reveals itself to the mother. Over the coming cycles, she gradually begins to sense what kind of person her child will become. The birth experience serves as the climax of a great communal celebration. Every member if the community encircles the mother-to-be, joyously singing...Both women and men, young and old, attend the ceremony and witness the miracle of being. They behold it with neither shame or revulsion...Elven bit¿rths are easier on their mothers than those of other races; they suffer little pain. (This is not true when the bay is only half-elven; these births can be agonizing and dangerous.)" Leaf & Thorn: The Secret Life of Elves, [I]Laws, Robin D.[/I] , [B]Dragon #279[/B] On gnome pregnancy: "Childbirth is a private time for gnome families. For the majority of the mother's pregnancy, she enjoys the company of her friends, family and neighbors, who often visit with gifts and stories. A pregnant gnome is assured that her time is always full of fun and entertainment. This all changes when the expectant mother reaches the final month of her term. At this time, the mother retires to her home to be tended and cared for by her immediate family. During childbirth, the mother is tended to by her husband and a midwife. Other close family members and friends are not allowed into the birthing chamber..." Study & Jest: The Secret Life of Gnomes, [I]Jacobs, James[/I] ,[B]Dragon #291[/B] [/QUOTE]
