it is possible for us, maybe not for others.

We're trying to get Tara pregnant.

wait - you're trying to get one of yours pregnant but no tthe body? how does one do this?
Hm...

From:

*jumps in* Add anything, Faith; I'm speaking not on personal experience but through others I know.

It's sorta a... for lack of a better word, a 'mental' pregnancy. I've heard it described as carrying a little spirit around inside you and feeling it grow until it's developed enough to come out as its own individual.

Of course, I'm certain that there are other ways. That's just the one I've heard.

From:

well, usually the way anyone would attempt it... just, in the inner world, not in the physical world...

Many 'normal' people don't age. I mean, a body ages but minds do not age in the same way. They can stay the same 'age' for many years without maturing. you certainly don't need to be 'multiple' for that! Look in your local pub, if they're anything like mine, you're bound to find some 12yr olds in fully grown men's bodies. I've noticed it in women too, but not to such a big degree. That may just be my experience.

An interesting concept indeed. Dunno exactly how relevant this is to you but another interesting point, I think; that 'alters' can be born without any pregnancy at all. I kinda thought that to be the normal way it happened. Now that I think of it I only thought it was so cos that what happend to me (I don't say we anymore, except for when I'm having trouble with words, then we say all sorts). Never heard of a personality being pregnant before, only a body, except in the case of phantom pregnancy, which I dunno much about.

From:

I understand that. But what if a pair of soulbonds personally /want/ a child? Again, this is just curiousity. I understand that you don't know much about it, and that's fine. Thanks for your help though. ^_^

One of the soulbonds in our system got a soul from another system pregnant. They have a child together now, very sweet.

Our opinion only is that, it may not be possible where there IS a core entity... but it might be. All the groups we've heard of in-system pregnancy, though, don't have someone who is the core... they are a large, diversified system where no one is the original entity, everyone has a sort of equal share...

Sorry if we confuse. At work is not best to be explaining stuff.

From:

I understand what you mean. Thank you for taking the time to explain, that clears things up a bit.

From:

I'm quite close to what you would call a 'core', and I know that I can get pregnant inside, if we chose. However, we don't, because neither of us want kids.

Also, I think two mindfolks can easily get pregnant/have babies. I think it's pretty much the same as bodily procreation.

From:

That makes sense. Thanks. :3

I'm childfree, Liliane is infertile, and Mischa is six years old, so I really don't think this group will ever be finding out.

(And I am not sad about that. :))

From:

I understand. Thanks. :3

From:

The idea of us impregnating anyone in this head gives us the creeps beyond all words; it'd feel incestuous or something, unless it's one of our characters, which would just be overreaching our power and manipulating them. So we can't really speak on it.

In THEORY, though, if we DID somehow have kids (god forbid) we would consider him/her a part of our system if she was capable of fronting. If not (as she may be if she was born to a character or something and not one of us), then she would be considered to be a part of where their other parent was from.

As for the aging--our younger members have managed to front and hold their own in situations that would normally require age. College course note-taking, serious illness, stuff like that. They have walked out of that without aging, so I don't think they'd age if they had to deal with our body pregnant.

But, as said before... god forbid.

From:

I understand. Thank you.

From:

Babies are born all the time in our group. *g* Some have joked and said there's something in our water. :) As for where do babies come from? Where do you think babies come from? *wink*

The navel, silly! Everyone knows babies come out of the belly button; what ELSE would that goofy thing be for?

Careful. Been told it'll suck out your soul if you're not careful.

From:

There are also these posts (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?keyword=pregnancy&user=multiplicity&sortby=des) from the memories.

From:

Is it possible for a soulbond to become pregnant or impregnate?
Yes, I definitely believe it's possible. :)

Whether it's other soulbonds in your system or in other systems, including the 'main' or original?
It's possible with any combinations from what I've seen.

what if the frontrunner/original/host/core/etc is the one that gets pregnant, but outside the body?
Do you mean if there are those in a group that don't need the body in order to function and communicate? Or if this person gets pregnant in a place other than in the body? I still think it's possible anywhere. I think those in this group were together with their loves while in the realm or in other planes. That isn't so unusual sounding to me. :) It sounds normal.

would the 'child' become another of your soulbonds, or 'split' into another system, etc?
The child would belong to whoever the parents were, or would be a part of whoever the parents were. I don't know about the splitting into another system idea. Though Tej Agni started with Amirah and Kasia, and then Amalah and Kesiah came from them. But the group already existed as a dual group first. Now there are something like 10 in their group. I'm an honorary member they told me. :) The others within the Kasiyan group are not within Tej Agni. Though lately a whole bunch of the other Kasiyans have been using their journal, The Clique, the Chex Mix Kidlets, and others. :)

Also, I think this group I'm with stopped using the word soulbonds because it doesn't work for them anymore. :) Enjoy the weekend. Hug.

Oh, okay! That clears up a lot, thank you. Sorry my wording is a bit off, I'm not that good at explaining. Thanks for the information!

Congrats on being an honorary member! Sounds like you do a good job of taking care, then. :3

Well I understand. That's just what works for me until I find something better and more fitting to refer to. So if I offend anybody, I apologize in advance! Thanks again and you too. ~Hug~

also, this one (http://community.livejournal.com/multiplicity/602927.html?thread=9422639#t9422639).

As far as our soulbonds, they are human, and the same goes for them. There are two devoted married couples and three widowers, one of whom has strongly considered marrying again. He has adopted and is raising a young relative.

Yes insiders can get pregnant . LaDonna one of my insiders got pregnant. She carried the twins to full term. Tina are inside medical person and protector helped her delivery. The twins have grew at normal rate they are 2 and half years old now. I(angel) who host most of the time did have some of the morning sickness and even missed 4 periods. I thought the body was pregnant. Come to find out it was LaDonna. when i asked her how since we have no grown up males in the body . she told me she CoFronted with me when we were with the man i was seeing at the time. and somehow mapped his semen into her. I still don't understand that for sure but it worked.. and the only thing .. when she delivered she got an infection.. which tina dealed with BUT...the body got really sick ended up in hospital and none of the dr in 3 weeks could find anything wrong with us but we kept getting high fevers.. finally our New SO at the time. figured it out and had us move LaDonna to a floor where she could not be mentally communicating with the body. And sure enough we got better.
So i hope this helps.. the twins have come out a few times in the body but when they did they were babies in the body just like inside.
Hope this helps.
