But let’s say it always was supposed to be 3-10 days. Padme really didn’t tell Anakin for 8-9 months that she was pregnant? The way they talk about “going early to naboo to get the baby’s room ready” is not what someone who’s giving birth in two weeks would say. It just doesn’t work based on how pregnancy maps out.
I don’t see why not. It’s news that would warrant being together in person, and Anakin has been in the Outer Rim sieges for months. Padme’s insistence on their responsibilities can even further explain why she wouldn’t tell him; so that he can stay focused on the war at hand.
Idk, it all works out for me. The problems with it are suspension of disbelief things, they don’t actually break continuity.
