I fear that I sometimes like mpreg (of the kind where there is misery and freaking out), because I had all-day nausea for about 3 months of my pregnancy (while my mom chirped that she loved being pregnant all 4 times, on the phone, where I couldn't throw up on her), pre-eclampsia about at month 7 on the dot for when it tends to show up, and a quasi-emergency c-section.*
I am also a bit of a sadist.
You see where my preferences for a "good" mpreg would lie. *sadistic cackling* (Crackfic and vomiting. So much vomiting. Seriously, nearly 18 years later, and I still have my nausea-gauge recalibrated to "if I am not heaving up my guts for no reason, then I'm functional.")
* (Signs of fetal distress = no induced labor (which is good, because induced is harder and more painful than natural and I didn't know that and woulda tried "granola"...). Though at the time, the kid's head was about the size of my fist. An ounce shy of 3 pounds, when hatched.)
I do have one possible quibble with this, which is that not all placental mammals have periods! Cats, who have induced ovulation, don't have periods -- and instead can have their uterus/tubes get all... nasty... if they go un-bred when in heat, apparently -- but their placentas detach fine. I totally agree with "uteruses are made to ditch the placenta without bleeding out, most of the time," but I'm not sure that periods are a sign of that, when so few mammals have Bleed Times. More like a freakin' defect, y'ask me.
...on the marsupial front, still trying to figure out how the Andorian 4-sex option works, while still making the pouch-moms appear default bosomy. Especially since the conception takes place in Uterus-possessing sex, and is somehow then transferred to pouch-sex. *grumble*
