Question: One of the characters is pregnant, in her third trimester, and she had an as-yet-unspecified complication about 3 weeks ago story-time, toward the end of her 7th month. (I can change the exact timing.) I think it was probably early labor, which the doctors were able to stop. She's just had a huge emotional shock, and I need her for plot reasons to be taken to the hospital tomorrow story-time. Would early labor fit that bill? I'd rather not have something wrong with the fetus itself, because it needs to be born relatively healthy. She could initially have thought they were just Braxton-Hicks contractions, then found out she was wrong.

Right now, I have a bit of mental handwavery and "I'll get back to that later" where this plot point is.

Erm, I am generally useless here - everything I know about pregnancy is either livestock-centric or else involves making sure it doesn't happen - but you might try asking at factfinding or the LJ comm Little_Details.

I had a couple suggestions over on LJ, though they were more serious complications than I was looking for. IDK, IDK... (Asking Little Details crossed my mind, though I may have too vague a question. Or be looking for confirmation that X would work/not be too far-fetched.)
