Dud plz stop commenting about it your giving me headache with your stupidity. Priestess and MC already explain everything with why such and such is happening, my advice is play the game from begging couple of times till it all sync.
There was a discussion about this a couple of pages back and basically once the curse was known humans went all full humanity on it and made damn sure that as many babies as possible will be born healthy. So birth and infant mortality is pretty much on par if not better than in developed countries due to magic and gods.
Of course there's still a possibility something goes wrong like poisoning or plain old accident but if no external factor comes to play then the chances that there's a problem during pregnancy or delivery is pretty much near zero.
You are mostly right. The thing with Avila though is that she is less than 2 weeks pregnant. A lot of women lose their children at that stage, and never know it. Hence the church of Ishtar not telling the women if they are less than 2 weeks pregnant to preserve their mental health, except like Avila in case of marriage.

We found out really early once, and it basically self aborted... My wife was fucking devestated, it sucks hard.
I don't remember the circumstances of why she'd checked so early, out of wack period I guess, but tests were positive but before we even got to the first obgyn visit she started spotting heavily and we went into the ER where they confirmed the pregnancy, and then indicated it had failed and basically had to do a flush...
It's a terrible situation to be in cause it was too early for me as the dad to have any strong feelings about the fetus but for my wife it was already a baby, she was just wrecked and there was fuck all I could do to make it better.
Not to mention all kinds of feelings of like maternal inadequacy and guilt about maybe this or that caused it...

But yeah, that type of situation is exactly why the Priestesses don't tell that women early in most circumstances. Just oo hard on the women, expecially when the baby is wanted.
Hard stuff to deal with too as a man I imagine, even when you don't build feelings for the baby, but seeing the woman you love devastated and feeling powerless to help her get better is not an easy thing either, not that is really comparable.

Vanderer interesting side question. At which point does the Ishtar's curse protection break? Is it in conception or does Ishtar keep it up until the birth meaning the first born child has 50/50 chance for gender?

yeah its the time table set to marry and consummate the marriage for a priestess of ishtar.
right now i still believe that the ward protects to child as long as its in the womb from the demonic curse(which heavily skews to chance for male/female offspring towards female)
