EXPECTING MOTHERS, FIRST TRIMESTER - the first trimester is normally the most dreaded by all. it is the first twelve weeks of the pregnancy. during these weeks is when the crucial development is formed, and st. valentines knows this. these weeks are full of nausea, headaches, dizziness, breast changes, frequent urination, heartburn, aversions, and cravings. these symptoms are caused by hormones, and typically are more severe in the first trimester. these girls feel irritable, have mood swings, and are quick to cry, so be careful. the main physical changes in the first trimester are not to the belly, but to the breasts. they are beginning to produce milk and will grow because of it. EXPECTING MOTHERS, SECOND TRIMESTER - the second trimester is often called the planning trimester. for most women, the fatigue and nausea from the first trimester ease, and she has a good amount of energy, and has not grown enough to be uncomfortable. this is when the baby starts growing organs, and becoming a little person. it's normal for a woman in the second trimester to be somewhat forgetful and have trouble concentrating. this is the time when many women begin to "feel" pregnant. regular clothes begin to not fit very well, and the switch is made to maternity clothes. as the baby grows, and the mother starts to show, it starts to become obvious to the world that she is pregnant. EXPECTING MOTHERS, THIRD TRIMESTER - for most women, the third trimester is full of several different things. there is anticipation and excitement over the coming baby, fear and worry about the thought of labor, and growing discomfort as the baby continues to get bigger. braxton-hicks contractions are common during this trimester as well. these are "practice" contractions where the uterus contracts, hardens for a minute or so, and then relaxes back to normal. it is about this time that women start to become a little bored and tired of being pregnant. the discomforts are increasing, while at the same time the anticipation of the coming baby is increasing. many women are beginning to feel more and more apprehensive about the health of the baby, labor and delivery, as well as about the thought of becoming a mother. EXPECTING FATHERS - these are the guys that did the deed and have stuck around for the girls. they have the option of attending st. valentines as well. as well as normal educational classes there are a few 'how to be a good daddy' and couple classes that they are expected to attend. MOTHERS- the mommies are the girls who had already given birth to their child, they have been through it all and have gone through child birth, now they are sticking it out here at st. valentines until they feel they can live out on their own. if your character does have a child but is pregnant again, do not use this member group, select the appropriate expecting mommy, member group. FATHERS - contrary to popular belief, not all teenage boys run off on their pregnant girl friends, these are the guys who have been with their girls all the way through and can be proud to call themselves a daddy. the fathers have classes that they attend with their children, just as the mothers. SAINT VALENTINES STAFF - the staff here at st. valentines can be anything from the dean, to the janitor. but they do a lot around here, there are teachers, counselors/mentors, specialists, and numerous other tasks for the staff. please be sure to include what job a staff member has in your application. MEDICAL PERSONNEL - these are the important guys, they can work at either st. valentines or mercy hospital. they are here to make sure that all of the girls are taking proper care of their born and unborn children. the make the girls sign waivers upon attending st. valentines giving them the right to drug test, examine the baby, for any reason. they are looking out for both the mother and her child. BELLEVUE LOCALS - the locals of bellevue are those who live in town, this can consists of children, kids who attend the local high school and pretty much any person that lives in bellevue. since st. valentines isn't a prison, these are the people the girls and guys can meet while they parade about town. |
