How are pregnant women treated in your nation?

[The Victory Corporation]

In the Victory Corporation, pregnant women are generally treated with respect and care. However, they are expected to work until the baby grows enough to show on the woman's body, and/or when the woman's work is interfered with by pains, hormones, or other stresses. When one or both of the criteria above occur, a pregnant woman may take the rest of her pregnancy period, as well as up to two months after birth, with full paid leave, and up to two years doing nonessential work or taking unpaid leave, though showing up to work for emergencies is still required.

If a pregnant woman is unable to care for herself or her child immediately after birth, the government will provide caretakers as well as food, medicine, and clean housing as needed for the duration. If she does not want to use birth control and will be unable to support the child, she may sign a contract allowing the government of the Victory Corporation to provide an upbringing for the child, and the mother will be able to see the child when she is able.

[Ermarian]

Pregnancy isn't really a thing in the Empire anymore. Embryos are usually bred and incubated in vitro, dramatically lowering the risk of complications.

After birth, all parents are granted a certain amount of leave.

[Hyper Pregnant Women]

Pregnant women are treated almost as aristocrats in our nation. If any one harms a pregnant women not in self defense or self defense of others, they will be severely punished. We provide everything a pregnant women would need, and we spend billions on it a year. After all, we are hyper pregnant women, we the most fertile women in the world.

[Imperial States America]

In the ISA only pregnant women of the elites and the royalty of the country get special treatment. But the women of lower classes are still expected to do all their homemaking duties wether their pregnant or not.

[Nortainland]

Lower class women generally continue to do their housekeeping and work until they are physically unable to for fear of losing the baby. Middle class and upper class women generally remain bedridden in the later stages however continue to go about their business in the earlier stages.

All pregnant women are treated with respect, and therefore men will give up their seats aboard buses or trains for any pregnant woman regardless of class. Pregnant women may even be elevated to second or first class compartments should there be no seats available. It is a severe crime, under the Act to afford protection to Women being with Children, 1904, to assault any Woman, whether with Child or not, with the intent to produce a Miscarriage.

[Vandario]

very well, are women are important to us, for they carry our future

[Komneneia]

Pregnant women are generally treated with respect and consideration. They are usually exempted from strenuous jobs and given office work instead. A mandatory paid maternity leave is given 1 month before expected due date and 2 months after giving birth. They are also given priority in various government and private services. In addition to this, the government provides maternity benefits to cover for all medical expenses of childbirth, provided the woman conceived the child inside marriage, otherwise they are fined heavily and possibly charged with having sex outside marriage, although they may still avail of the benefits.

Violent crimes against pregnant women are punished severely. An additional 5 years jail time is given for anyone who will assault a pregnant woman that results in significant injury, 15 years if it resulted to an abortion and life imprisonment to execution if resulted in the death of the woman.

[Messeren]

Since the Messyrii people and the government place a high importance on blood purity and reproduction, a pregnant pure-blooded woman is treated very well to ensure she will carry on the next generation. In Messeren, women are permitted to work, thus three months maternity leave is granted (extended if the child has birth defects or other issues that may require more parental attention).

Therefore attacks on pregnant women are considered most abhorrent and can carry the death penalty depending on the severity of the attack. If the woman and/or the unborn child dies, the death penalty is certain. If the attack caused difficulties later on, the life sentence may be carried out, but again if those difficulties killed either or both woman and child, sentence changed to death penalty.

[Verdiga]

Pregnant women are given special rights akin to disability rights. For instance, pregnant women are given maternity leave, but they may not serve in the front lines.

[HUElavia]

Pregnant Women are treated with high respect and care, having accessibility to health products for a very cheap price when pregnant, have excellent health care, and are given Maternity leave 3 weeks prior to birth and up to 6 months after birth along with their spouse.

[Heidenheim]

They are treated very well in Heidenheim, with healthcare guaranteed and maternity leave usually available.

[Davinhia]

Pregnant women in Davinhia are treated as a human being. They don't get any special treatment, except about a year of paid time off, same as fathers.

[Seventh Oblivion]

They are treated like normal women, simple as that. But if they are having problems during pregnancy then people tend to help out a lot more.

[Rutthenia]

Pregnant women are treated equally as any other person. However, they receive 6 months of paid maternity leave, as well as the opportunity for more spacious seating in Commonwealth offices and public transport.

[Isla Gazebo]

Pregnant women are treated the same as other citizens, not better or worse. For example, a pregnant woman about to give birth was forced off a Ferrocarril Gazebense train because she had no ticket.

[Nordenkaltian Union]

They're treated very well with high respect for being carriers of our future generations. They're welcome to enjoy our universal healthcare system and 40 weeks of maternity leave.

[Narintia]

Paid leave for 4 months and after. 12 months to bond with children, then back to work for you.

[Ollandistan]

They are not allowed to work until her child is four

[Kaitjan]

In modern Kaitjan pregnant women are not required to work and are eligable for a certain monthly sum from the government. Large families receive more as an incentive to produce more children, and expecting women and young mothers are generally treated very well. Considering that the wars of the last century resulted in the deaths of almost 30 million people, it is no wonder that the state wants to ensure a quick and steady population growth to cover up for the losses.

[The Merchant Republics]

By convention Mercatorum women who become pregnant are usually praised, her friends and family are expected to do what they can to help her with the difficulties of pregnancy, in some cases as much as helping with housework and anything that could possibly help reduce her stress.

Working women who become pregnant usually take time off, most Mercatorum companies are relatively flexible when it comes to parental leave, though in general it still extends more generously to the mother than the father, most companies continue to pay at 2/3, though the actual benefits vary. Society guilds and the Church are typically the biggest sources of financial and social support for women. The Church especially is involved when it comes to unwed and single mothers who might be at financial risk, supporting them through their pregnancy until they can get back on their feet and working. Some republics also offer maternal support although, the nature of governance in the Merchant Republics means most choose not to be involved.

As with most Christian nations the birth of a child is a highly celebrated event, Christening takes place within the first two weeks of birth and after words the parents are usually treated to a party where friends and family offer them gifts (which in the Mercatorum way, the parents will attempt to pay for and then accept gracefully), this is usually when the mother finally gets to have a glass of wine, and both parents get ready for the hard work of parenting.

[Caelestiam]

In Caelestiam they are pretty much worshipped. Sex is considered a sacred act, and with pregnancy being the culmination of said act, and of the love between two people, pregnancy is respected highly regardless of the race of the mother and father.

Pregnant women must work in the first trimester and second trimester depending on their job, and may take an optional, paid maternity leave during the third trimester to prepare for the baby's arrival. After birth, the mother is encouraged to spend a year with the children to be there for them in their first, pivotal year of development. If this is not possible, the father can receive "Paternity Leave" to do this. Otherwise a retired member of either side of the family can do this.

Pregnant women are also guaranteed discounts in most establishments such as shopping centers, and may receive special services from spas, salons, and other establishments for beauty and relaxation. Best part is, that's not compulsory; most people here seriously go out of their way to offer these things.

Pregnant women are also something of a "subculture" here in Caelestiam. Domestic fashion designers design and then publicly advertise entire lines of maternity wear (providing a wide variety of choice of dress and well-paying, temporary jobs in the way of modeling) for every occasion, from swimwear to formal attire. Restaurants and other food-related establishments offer special menus to facilitate healthy dieting, and there are some places that are just outright designed for pregnant women to meet and hang out with friends and strangers who are going through what they are going through.

Husbands of pregnant women are also greatly respected and appreciated for being faithful, responsible husbands and soon to be fathers, and as long as they are with their wives are not excluded from discounts and some services. Men who decide to be little bitches and run away from their wives when they need them most at despised and sometimes even attacked if discovered, although assault is still assault here. That being said, it is not at all uncommon for many men (usually close friends) to "jump in for the rebound" so to speak, and court a pregnant woman who had been abandoned. Marriages resulting from these relationships are prevalent, as a matter of fact.

There are only a few taboos. Teen pregnancy is a no. Surrogate pregnancy is disreputable. Abusing privileges via either of the former two is outright despised. While the pregnant form is even considered sexy by some, fetishistic perversions of the form (I'm looking at a very special, very obvious somebody on this page) in cultural mediums are viewed as extremely tasteless and morally reprehensible.

Other than that, pregnancy is generally a positive thing here. Pregnant women are viewed as beautiful, being the symbolic epitome of fertility, romance, commitment, and family value.

[The Brand New Salvatagard Republic]

Pregnant women are very well respected in the SR.

[New Antegria II]

in murica we let them have a Maternity leave Till the kid is 2 and we pay them double and men that treat pregnant women bad get jailed for 9 months and get realeased 1 day before the baby is born

[Keynsinia]

Pregnant women are given high bodily autonomy. We encourage voluntary motherhood and have strong economic incentives to keep deadbeat dads in line.

[Pane e Circhi]

If they support fascism and IL DUCE, very well. If not, very badly.
