Working on a idea for a change and could do with help for a pregnancy timeline.

Young couple - just kids really - fool about and she gets pregnant. Let's say that's late summer, end of harvest maybe.

I need to figure out:

  • How soon she realises
  • How long she keeps it hidden
  • How quickly the parents can arrange a wedding for these only-just-old-enough kids to preserve some social standing

For context, this is 1890s, small town in Northern England.

@drinkswriter @writers 3-4 weeks at most to realise? nah. With irregular periods, could be 4 months.

@drinkswriter @writers sex on first day of cycle, period after 25 days, definitely wouldn't be panicking until 6ish weeks unless mega-regular. Also don't know about 1890s but pregnancy is measured from first day of last period so she could be 6-8-10 weeks pregnant when she finds out

@drinkswriter @writers i think there are no rules, is the problem, so on the one hand you could probably make them up for your character, but on the other hand, it might scan funny
