I wonder if a pregnancy of any kind may actually be a 'stay of execution' as it were for Cersei.

Not sure on the medieval code of conduct in these cases, but if I remember rightly, the waited till after the babe was born before lopping the head off the woman. The child (sadly depending on the parentage) would usually be fostered off or raised as a ward of the court I think. If it was the child (male especially) of the king you'd just usurped however, a slight 'accident' might befall them...
Actually parfait (ithink i spelled it correctly) means perfect, then again a word can have more meanings then one so you could be right but i dont really think so. I think you are thinking of creme fraiche.

Cersei pregnant? Don't think so. She never had Robert's babys because she stop it whit herbs ,would she be so stupit to have 4 baby after Robert? Don't think so. maybe she has tumor? that wouldn't be so fun but she would suffer.

Re: Cersei ? pregnant?

What if Cersei gave birth to a dwarf? What if she was sent into exile with this baby? What if she actually came to love this child? Would this allow her to come to understand Tyrion?

Re: Cersei ? pregnant?

WTF???

There's some called poetic justice, then there's just overkill Boaz-style.

And, for the last time, Cersei isn't pregnant. She's just stupid, lazy and fat...kind of like her ex...maybe she'll kill herself (she always wanted the power of a man so is she the valonquar?).

As to my "guess" - and this is based on nothing concrete - I reckon her pregnancy will be found out, and she'll be ripped apart bit by bloody bit by the townspeople ...sortof an echo to Lollys - who was impregnated during the riot!?

Perhaps we are reading too much into this- not that Martin doesn't sprinkle everything he does with subtle clues, but we can't be 100% sure after all...still, it's an interesting concept.

Re: Cersei ? pregnant?

and thats exactly why his books are so engrossing, you never know what tiny bit of info is going to give away a major character arc or book-wide event.

Re: Cersei ? pregnant?

Sorry to spoil a lovely theory, but she can't be pregnant. She can only have three children, and she has already had them.
Actually, she might be, but only if the child dies before it is born. Will the Head Sparrow kill it as an Abomination?
Probably not, though. I think it would count, even if it was never born.

Where is this written? I don't recall this. In fact, over the years she has taken "precautions" so as to not get pregnant by either Robert, Lancel, the Kettleblack brothers, or Moon Boy.

Moon Boy... lol. Cersei may be a slut, but give her a little credit.

Re: Cersei ? pregnant?

You mean Maggi the Frog, I assume. Well, she hadn't been wrong yet so then this suggestion (one that I never believed) that Cersei is pregnant cannot be true.

Re: Cersei ? pregnant?

She will have three children....yes. But something could still happen where this would not come to term...

I think shes just getting fat because she drinks too much, but dont close the door on possibilities....
