And Now, a Word from Our Sponsor: SEXUAL REPRODUCTION!
In Mexico and Central America, the ancient Mayan calendar of 276 days was said to have originated from the human gestational cycle - indicating a belief that the world was created as slowly as a baby develops.

A woman who has never been pregnant is referred to as a "nulligravida."

Dehydration during pregnancy is often caused by an expansion in the intravascular space, and increased third spacing of fluids.
Like Starbucks: not home, not work... but the third space.

Gestating People frequently develop a condition called "PICA."
Pica consists of cravings for nonedible items such as dirt or clay. Commonly, patients will be placed on ice chips to chew on instead of these nonedible items.

Animals initially lived only in water and reproduced by external fertilization in the water. Certain animals started migrating from oceans to the land during the Late Ordovician epoch about 450 million years ago, necessitating internal fertilization in order to maintain gametes in a liquid medium.

As best as SCIENCE has estimated, SEXUAL REPRODUCTION is between one and one-point-two billion years old. It's good to know that we're all playing a billion year old game, here!
