Ideas for Twilight Sparkle's pregnancy

[djlamar2]

I could not find any information on the whole pregnancy thing for unipegs but here's some ideas I'm just throwing out on how she will find out what the baby will be.

1. Her horn will have an aura around it 3 months before the baby is born. Pink for a girl, blue for a boy. Twins same way except there will be 2 auras.

2. A potion is concocted by her siblings that tells what she's gonna have (Similar to the aura around her horn idea). She doesn't drink it but its poured into a sample given by her.

3. The doctors tell her.

The last idea is cool but the first 2 sound magical princess like don't you think? Let me know what you guys think about my ideas. And feel free to throw in your ideas as well. .

Even with the existance of magic, having a doctor tell her makes the most sense to me.

I like 3 the best. Number 1 makes no sense. Shouldn't Twilight be pregnant before the horn glows? Concieve means the act of becoming pregnant. It could be reworked to three months before birth.

In my fanon, there are different lengths of pregnancy for each of the four spieces. Earthlings carry their foals for eleven months before birth. Pegasi pregnancy lasts 9 months and Unicorn pregnancy lasts seven months. Alicorn pregnancy lasts five months. For the horned spieces, pregnancy length is determined by the foals magic.

Sunstar's first pregnancy with Sunfire lasted 5 and a half months. Sunfire is an alicorn like her father, Bryon. Sunstar's second pregnancy with Jetfire lasted seven and a half months. For Sunstar, it was seven and a half months of tartarus. She was sick a lot, and she almost lost the pregnancy during her third month. Jetfire is a dragonpony. Sunstar's third pregnancy was a breeze. She had morning sickness for one week and had Celestia at exactly five months. There was a surprise in the form of a black male alicorn twin named Aries. Aries was born first and Celestia second. Sunstars final pregnancy was with Luna. She carried Luna for six and a half months. With Luna, Sunstar was not sick once. In fact, Sunstar was five months along before she found out about Luna. She did not experience any of her usual symtoms of pregnancy. She only gained around four pounds and did not look pregnant. Luna was full term.

Like Unicorns, Alicorns are born without horns. What doctors look for in the horned spieces is the development of the cornocopia, a round mass of bone under the forehead. From this mass comes the horn. It grows much like a tooth, leading to some evolutionists to therorize the first horns may have been a misplaced tooth. The first Unicorns did not use magic, and their horns did not look like the modern horn. they did not tapper to a point. When the first Flow formed, it changed the Unicorn horn which led to the Unicorn using magic.

Sometimes the horn is bunted with a rounded tip which leads to it being unable to break through the skin. In these cases, the horn has to be helped along by one of two ways. The first way is to squeeze the skin where the bunted tip is much like poping a zit. In some cases, this doesn't work. Doctors must intervene by making a small x shaped cut where the bunted tip is to help it come through the skin. In rare cases, the horn is nonviable and doctors must remove the cornocopia to prevent problems.

There have been cases where the cornocopia forms elsewhere. One case of note is the pegasus Orion. He has a cornocopia shaped like a horseshoe over his wing shoulders that allows him to use his wings like a horn. Some Earthlings have been found with cornocopias in their forehooves which lets them use magic through their hooves. Case in point, the Earthling Starlight.

Thanks Sunstar. Doctors tell her it is then . I forgot what that meant by the way . Anyway that's why I wanted this to see what you all thought of my ideas. Its settled then. She'll know when the doctors tell her.
