Nel has been pregnant for almost 4 months now and I started to think. Is there set times for how long races are pregnant for? I can imagine lalas being shorter and Elezan being longer. Nel's child is half hyur so I was thinking 7~8 months (7 being for miqo and 9 being for hyur)

I'd like some feedback/comments/suggestions so I can RP this better. Because I need to know if Nel's belly should be bigger then it is or not.

And this is why I RP guys more then women. I can avoid things like this!! XD

I decided to look up 'cats' and 'big cats' to see exactly what their pregnancy time was. I actually see a Miqo'te more around a big cat, then house cats, sooo I decided look more into that.
It would seem big cats range around 3 months and half, so about 4 months.

Humans of course are around nine to ten months.

So I would figure since Miqo'te are half human, half cat.. you can probably guess around the medium of the two. So maybe like six to seven months?

As for other races, its hard to say. Cause for example a Horse is around 11-12 months.
A deer is 7 months.
A rabbit is like, a month.
A dog is around 2 months.

So maybe as for other races.
Hyrul = 9-10 months
Elezen = 11-12 months
Miqo'te = 6-7 months
Roegadyn = 12-13 months
Lalafell = 5-6 months

That be my best guess anyhow.

(PS - If you guys also want someone to play the child after 2.0, cause unless financially something happens and the child is a boy; I plan to make a Male Miqo'te anyhow on release of 2.0 and would be happy to play the kid. ^^ Give me an rp hook with a character at least)

lol you want to play a toddler? Kinky.

Anyway, comparing Miqo'te gestation period to cats is much like comparing Hyur gestation period to monkeys. Yes, technically they have a common ancestor, perhaps, if we can assume that earthly evolution takes place in Eorzea, but they are not 'cats' just biologically related to them, just as we are to monkeys. (I used monkey as a word for both 'monkeys' and 'apes', the English language makes a distinction between the two, Russian and a few others does not- and for the purpose of this, there really is no point in drawing that line between the primates.) So, that said- Aysun had a good point about this last night, which was that generally in biology the larger the animal the longer the gestation period is. That would mean Miqo'te are just shy of 9 months, maybe 8.

That's about how I see it, 8-9 months.

Not sure how playing a kid is kinky but ok. XD
More like I figure by 2.0 its probably gonna be a mild fast forward, however one never knows what the future holds!
