I understand handwaving to make things work, obviously, but on thing that will make me backclick out of any pregnancy fic, fpreg or mpreg, is the notion that, while knowingly pregnant with a wanted baby, it's okay to put your body in danger as long as you're not showing/in the early months and totally disastrous thereafter. I guess I can't get past the fact that IRL it's actually the other way around: early pregnancies get lost all the damn time (probably more often than they don't, and for many more reasons than "not being careful") and with later pregnancies, while you're more likely to take precautions, you're also more likely to have a viable baby despite yourself.
