Hello,

So I noticed the other day that treat doesn't let you see pregnancies at all. You can see a pregnant woman normally when the signs show, but treat has no way of seeing it.

So I was wondering if it could be fixed so that Treat does let a physician, or someone with the appropriate skill, see that someone is pregnant(even before it's codedly showing).

This does lead to more rp, Ladies and other high tier positions would be told they have to stop doing taxing tasks, since they are now pregnant.

Thanks!

A woman in the early months of pregnancy can look as if she's just going through 'that time of the month', and vice versa. A woman might certainly suspect a pregnancy if she happened to miss her monthly cycle, but I don't think that it'd be obvious to a physician without modern technology (i.e. blood and urine tests).

I'm inclined to decide against this, just because I think it's a little too advanced for our stage of medicine.

Gah, I do keep forgetting that it's Dark Ages. That makes total sense, thanks Cellan! :D

Eh, I think around 2 months along, maybe a doctor might have a higher chance of catching it than the public eye, but the woman would probably already know.

Slightly witchy medical technique of the time involved pouring the suspected preggo woman's urine on some frog eggs. Something about the massive hormone content would cause the eggs to change or cause tadpoles to appear.

On the opposite side of the spectrum...

If "cloak" or "cloak conceal" can hide your eq, inventory, and even your identity, it should probably hide pregnancy. Especially with all of the "voluminous" cloaks running about.
