[QUOTE="Evilhalfling, post: 4523892, member: 16991"] One of my players played through most of the her pregnancies, we had to hurry the last two games to avoid an early birth. Her second child was born also early, and we dropped the last session from the campaign, handling it through e-mail instead. I advise ending at least a month before the birth, and doing one-shots or card games. Both time we ended the campaign that she and her husband were in, added a new player or two, and started a new game. They took 6 months off then we returned to playing at their house. When she got pregnant again she decided to stop gaming with the birth. Her husband took off maybe a month, and returned to the table. When my wife gave birth I took 3 months off (on recommendation from ENworld.) While the group switched to M&M. I came back with a new campaign (4e) ready to run. My daughter is 4 months ATM, and we have shortened the session to 5 hrs so that us dads can get home earlier. My Wife Adds: Remember to celebrate the fact of pregnancy with her instead of moving straight to how it effects the group. She says she got tired/frustrated with peoples reacting based on how it would affect them. [/QUOTE]
