Context:

1) Fire Emblem (in this case, Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest) is a game where there is “permadeath”: when a character falls in battle, they actually die and will never regenerate.
2) I literally thought a character died at every contraction for about two hours.
3) I don’t even play with permadeath so this whole thing is irrelevant.
4) I don’t know why I wasn’t dreaming about labour and delivery and babies and had stupid dreams about video games instead.
