Is there a way to tell if someone's had a child, years after the fact?

There must be some medical way to do it...

I know about...female examinations...but I don't know how definitive those can be about something that could have happened years ago.

And this isn't really a normal place.

[deuxesmachina.livejournal.com]

I think they still are pretty accurate...or at least that was my impression. But I'm not a doctor or anything.


I don't know how someone who get that kind of examination here, either, though.

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

I think the signs might be subtler. I don't really know either.

It's not that important, really--just something I was thinking about.

[deuxesmachina.livejournal.com]

Like I said, I don't really know....I get this distinct feeling that I've always known I couldn't have children.


Do you think you have children?

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

I've never felt like it. But there was a baby in my dream. I don't know whether it was mine or not.

[deuxesmachina.livejournal.com]

Then maybe it wasn't yours.

But I guess that would be worrisome...

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

I

[Have a moderate pause]

don't think I want to go into the specifics of it.

[deuxesmachina.livejournal.com]

I never said you had to. :)

But good luck, anyway.

[nixe-eva.livejournal.com]

would it matter if you could?

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

It might help me figure something out about myself.

[nixe-eva.livejournal.com]

yeah, good luck.

Barring a medical examination? I'd look for stretch marks on the breasts and belly.

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I see. Thanks.

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

What?

[starstruckstray.livejournal.com]

Why are you asking that?!?

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

Because I don't know the answer and I want to.

[starstruckstray.livejournal.com]

WHY.

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

WHY DO YOU THINK, YOU IDIOT?

[starstruckstray.livejournal.com]

YOU CAN'T

THAT'S NOT

I DON'T

NO YOU SHUT UP

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

I'M NOT TALKING, I'M WRITING!

[starstruckstray.livejournal.com]

WELL, WHY ARE YOU WRITING WHERE EVERYBODY CAN SEE? JUST GO ASK A FUCKING DOCTOR OR SOMETHING!

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

THIS WAS FASTER! AND WE DON'T REALLY HAVE TRADITIONAL DOCTORS HERE! IT'S JUST A QUESTION, WHAT DOES IT MATTER?

IF YOU DON'T

[starstruckstray.livejournal.com]

BECAUSE IT DOES

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

You're being stupid, you know.

[starstruckstray.livejournal.com]

...you're always stupid.

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

Shut up!

[starstruckstray.livejournal.com]

You shut up!

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

...we did this already.

[starstruckstray.livejournal.com]

...look, if you're really worried about this, we ain't really the ones you should be talking to.

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

It was just something I wanted to know a little more about. That's all.

Look--are you free? There are some things I wouldn't mind talking about, but not here.

[starstruckstray.livejournal.com]

Yeah, all right. You got somewhere in mind?

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

Meet me by the elevator. There's something I need to look for in the Scavengers' Yard.

[starstruckstray.livejournal.com]

I'll be right there.

[extantlaw.livejournal.com]

...do you believe that you have a child?

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

I honestly don't know.

[extantlaw.livejournal.com]

I.. would hope that if you did, you would... simply know.
