That shit's weird. I do NOT want to be sitting in the camping chair next to a "pregnant" av when her water breaks.
I also have a question...if my av was one of the male aliens from "Alien Nation" could I be pregnant and have an alien baby? _____________________

* My question however is what happens? * Is there an anim for breast feeding, and does anyone do a prim toddler etc? On the former, not that I know of, but I wouldn't be surprised. Never seen a prim toddler: usually you can find a child avatar for that. Mari Yes, there is an anim for breast feeding (hey, I am NOT pregnant, its the durn pizza addiction). You can get it at Pillow Talk (disclosure: not affiliated with them in anyway). |

I'm just wondering about the other end of the life process - when we've done our 10 years in SL and want to bow out gracefully, is there a way for us to die peacefully in our beds with our SL friends at the bedside? PS I'm not planning to do that just yet!!! My husband and I were talking about this a while back. If you got tired of being one av, and wanted to put an end to them so as to have a new main account, why not have an SL funeral. We have weddings, and presumably baptisms/naming ceremonies for some of the prim babes at least!, so why not a funeral. You could make a will and pass all your transfer items to an executor to distribute after the funeral. And you could be there for the reading of the will; all you need is an urn shaped av to put on after the curtains have closed. Then it's off with the old, and on with the new. I like this idea; I'm off to set up the first SL funeral home! |

LOL!! i have seen preggers AVs and kid AVs but no baby AVs. i can be a dog. can i BE a baby, crawling around? Baby AVs: see DarkDharma Avatar Island.

Why would someone get tired of being a particular av and decide to start over and lose everything? Isn't that what the ability to change your appearance at will is all about?? _____________________

If we have Avatar Pregnancies, I'm sure some of them eventually become unwanted.
Do we have an Avatar Abortion Clinic?? Maybe with some protesters standing outside, all typing insults at the women coming in!  _____________________

No offense, but why is it better if SL is more 'real'? That would be because many people have rather limited imaginations, Real is about All they can handle. I also Find the talking Tummy's a little disconcerting, But the people are role playing, Enjoying a fantasy, and i Play along. it doesn't hurt me or them. I found myself at one time Attending my "Grown daughter" as she gave Sim Birth, I Took Photos, and i Shared a lovely Time with my Daughter, and her Mate as they welcomed their twins into SL. Letting Myself Go and Just Feeling the Moment, it was a wonderful thing to share with someone i cared about. I don't think I can Understand applying terms like "Wierd", or "Creepy" to the idea of child birth, and parenting, But then, I WAS brought up to see the Beauty in Physical Love, and the Miracle in Child Birth. That some people want to Enrich their second lives in that way doesn't surprise me at all. I'm French, I Guess that makes me a little more Cosmopolitan about such things, and an Incurable Romantic at heart. Angel. |

the child birth animation should be easy enough to come by-
Just carve up a sexball set that has the Mother-to-be in the right pose ... If it includes facial movements, SL isnt advanced enough to distinguish between an open mouth for any of the yelling that exists at either end of the reproductive experience. |
