[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 1673199, member: 8439"] I'd be interested in the details of this. Mostly whether you're considering nurtrition and other factors. Also if "working the feilds" in this case implies a specific movement or position that would be problematic. Women who stay in shape durring pregnancy do better, and more than one person has advised me to try to walk several miles a day for less chance of complications. damn, someone should have told me I couldn't lift anything in the first trimester! Since it wasn't until about halfway through the second that I started worrying about any of the lifting I normally do with my job. Had to stop restraining dogs earlier because getting kicked in the stomache just isn't as much fun when you're pregnant. :p One of the women I work with, in her later pregnancies, did competitive riding throughout her pregnancy. I could not have done that in this one, don't know what future pregnancies will be like. I would say that my first trimester was spent permanently in a fatigued condition, but I know other women who did fine. second trimester was great, plenty of energy, no stretching pains, slight adjustments to ballance, but doing pretty much anything I wanted. Third, not so much anymore. Definite lifting issues, but getting used to the new balance. Tired again, but nothing like the first few months.... And of course a large number of adventurers, male and female, don't carry sheilds and broadswords. A sorcerer, wizard or psion may be doing just fine with a pair of gloves of dex and a minor con lift. While some accomadations should be made at the very end of pregnancy, I would deal with this issue exactly as I deal with the non-issue of PMS and cramps - D20 does not have disadvantages, and everyone is assumed to be without allergies, migrains, heart problems or chronic health issues of any sort. Combine this with a touch of magic, and I will assume comfortably that any pregnant PC has the best and most safely active pregnancy of any real woman I have met or heard of. And with a quick endure elements for those late summer due dates, that can be very active and healthy indeed. ;) Kahuna Burger (31 weeks and not taken to my bed by any stretch...) [/QUOTE]
