Pregnancy and Birth Continuity in Fiction
Use broad planning estimates, parent links and author-controlled exceptions to keep pregnancy timing coherent.
By Nathan Ardwell · author-planning perspective
Enter the known point
Conception, discovery, due date or birth can each serve as the starting fact.
Link parents carefully
Support confirmed, possible, disputed, unknown or unrevealed father records.
Treat warnings as questions
An unusually early or late interval should be reviewed, not automatically rejected.
