Pregnancy Plot Information

## PREGNANCY CHECKLIST.

the duration for pregnancy plots that are carried to term will equal five out-of-character months *(* for a total of 20 weeks *).* you may request the admins roll dice for the number of babies and sex at any point; you may only roll once, regardless of the outcome. please see to it that the following check list is completed in a timely manner for the duration of your character’s pregnancy.

please let us know if you have any questions *!*

FOUR WEEK MARK : at this point, you should post a self-paragraph describing either the moment your character discovered they were pregnant, or the incidents leading up to that moment ( morning sickness, weight gain, mood swings, etc. )

EIGHT WEEK MARK : at this point, we ask that members collaborate with their partners and write at least one thread wherein your character personally confirms that they are with child to another in-game character. this should be a collaborative effort, not a self-paragraph.

TWELVE WEEK MARK : at this point, we ask that both mother and father complete this questionnaire, and post it in the #crhs.parenting tag.

SIXTEEN WEEK MARK : the due date is coming up ! we ask that both mother and father ( if possible ) post a self-paragraph, however long or short, describing their fears and hopes for the child.

TWENTY WEEK MARK : it’s almost time ! for our final check in, we ask that mother and father ( if possible ) collaborate with other members in deciding how this child will be able to be used as a bargaining chip in the future. will they be married to a foreign royal? will they be consigned to the church? what could this child do to achieve peace in both your characters’, and their countrymen’s, lives? for this check in to be completed, members must contact the admins prior to the baby’s due date and let us know what plotting they achieved.

members will be expected to post one check in per each month of their pregnancy. here is a summarized log of each check in.

* one self paragraph
* one personal thread
* one questionnaire
* a second, related self paragraph
* general plotting
