Hello
everyone!
I am going
to talk about pregnancy and having babies in this blog post, and I know that
that topic can be triggering for some people, so if this topic is triggering
for you, please kindly click away from this post.
I am 10
weeks pregnant as of yesterday, and it feels incredible. I returned to the
maternity clinic I had with my last second-life pregnancy. The Family Center TP
if you have
read my previous blog post, you know that I wasn't entirely sure how I would do
this pregnancy, but after writing that post, I realized that I wanted a
maternity clinic to go to.
The family
center is the best maternity clinic ever in second life. It's the most
realistic maternity clinic out there, so if you want realism down to the core
of pregnancy and birth, this is where you can go.
this clinic
is hyper-realistic
excellently
and professionally,
when you
become a patient, you have to fill in 3 forms:
One the
patient form
Two, the
informed consent form
Three disclosure
agreements.
Remember
that you, as the patient, will have to schedule your appointments with the
clinic, including the birth, and for the delivery, you will have to block off 2
hours on their calendar.
This clinic
is the best clinic you will ever find in second life
they do not
charge you for maternity care! I repeat they do not charge you!
You get four
entirely free appointments but have to pay for ultrasound pictures and
keepsakes should you want them.
They don't
even charge for you to give birth; they only charge you if you want a private
birthing suite and keepsakes.
I mean, how
amazing is that!
I have no
problem paying for ultrasound pictures and keepsakes because, in real life, you
would pay for the printout of the ultrasound pictures anyway; at least here in
Sweden, we have to pay for it.
For myself,
I chose a water birth. I informed my doctor that I would want ultrasound
pictures and keepsakes. The whole 9 yards! My motto has always been Go big or
go home.
*Take a deep breath*
I will be very
open and personal with you and tell you why pregnancy is essential for me in
second life.
In about
two weeks, I will be turning 34 years old, and when it comes to pregnancy, I
already know that having a baby is not in my cards, so being pregnant in second
life allows me to experience something that won't ever be possible in real
life.
I take
being pregnant in second life very seriously; this might seem crazy to you, but
now that I am pregnant in second life, I embody the pregnancy even in real life;
yes, I'm fully aware that I'm not pregnant in real life, but I enjoy it I enjoy
the feeling I enjoy everything that comes with being pregnant.
It was tough
to accept that one of my biggest dreams in life would never happen for me.
Especially when you feel like somebody has a new pregnancy announcement every
day, and every one of them just has to look at their partner to get pregnant; I know
that's not the case for many, but it still feels like it.
Adoption is
not on my cards because I don't want to, and surrogacy is not on the cards
because it is illegal here in Sweden. I wouldn't be able to connect with the
surrogate mother or the baby even though it would be mine, but I would get
angry and resentful towards the surrogate mother because she got pregnant and
not me.
This is genuinely
why pregnancy in second life is so crucial for me, and being able to be a mother
with all that comes with that.
I hope I
didn't offend anyone in any way, shape, or form; it was not my intention to do
so. This is my safe space; this is my blog. I don't hold back; there will be
some people that don't like my opinions and uncertain things, and I respect
that fully. In return, I ask you to respect me.
This is going to be interesting!
