Pregnancy symptoms - 04/17/07 04:38 AM
OK, this can
probably be directed towards those of you who already have had children...
but my experience is limited
I am not really happy with the descriptions of pregnancy "symptoms" within fandom, generally a lot of stories cite Lois (or whoever) experiencing "flu-like" symptoms
My experience of the Flu (which I have had countless times) involves mainly head-aches and a congested nose, along with a fever if I got one
this does not really fit with my concept of symptoms experienced during the first trimester of pregnancy
I remember my mother being a bit tired, but mostly nauseous...
(although my youngest sibling is 13 and I was only 9 at the time so ...)
now I know that women have a wide variety of experiences as we are all a widely varied bunch... so I would love to find a whole range of experiences from all of you...
I also know that a lot of women LOVE to share their experiences. so I was hoping that I could use your passions for YOUR CHILDREN and your writing to help me out a little
I have read *Text Book* descriptions about *Possible varieties* of early pregnancy experiences... but these are so dispassionate that they almost makes them useless for my purposes (writing my own experimental fics)
I would be grateful for any opinions on the matter that any of you can offer
Yours, your wife's, girlfriend's, mother's, father's, aunt's, sister's.... any experiences described by you would be great,
(of course as I am currently studying bioethics)
I guarantee you my utmost degree of respect for confidentiality
I promise not to divulge to anyone any of the identifying information (names, and locations of pregnant women)
and would advise you that should you be sharing experiences not your-own, that you keep that information to yourself as no-one would want to be surfing the net to find private information shared in such a random place as this forum...
I have no way of telling who's experience it was (yours or your Uncle's boyfriend), and nor does it matter to me...
