This must be another example of what I call "Dark Shadows time." They aren't explicit about when there's a change of day - but, Morgan wanted to marry Catherine immediately after his father's death. I think it got postponed one day. Then, when they tried to do it, Bramwell intervened - another day. They had to hold the lottery, so that was at most the next day.
It seemed to take a day to get Gabriel into the room. Then, after his experience, they learned that they had to hold the lottery again. One has to assume it's been at most a couple of days since then.
Somehow Bramwell completely recovered from his wound in a day or two!
Meanwhile, even if we expand this time a bit and say that it's been 2 -3 weeks instead of the 1 week it would seem to be, there's still no way that Catherine would know she's expecting at this point!!!

It's always this way in soap time. . .i mean how many kids went from toddlers to teenagers in just 1 year in serial land? I think the fact that this was actually over a month in "DS airing" time (and fans memories) was used at the time.

Ah, the SORAS epidemic. Soap Opera Re Aging Syndrome!

Take my word for it, Josette....she could know in 3 weeks without a modern test. I did..... ;)

And unless I'm much mistaken (which is always a possibility), a doctor would be able to tell from a physical exam from the appearance and feel of the cervix (this came up on the AMC TWOP thread not too long ago--I learned more about gynecology and obstetrics than I ever thought possible :P )

And it was so nice of you to share some of it with us. [scrdy]

Well, that's what I'm all about--sharing--and this is after all, the season of giving 8)

So true. :D

Catherine didn't need a doctor.....she didn't need a midwife.....she didn't need an Early Pregnancy Test.....and she certainly didn't need an internal exam!!!
For pete's sake...all she needed was a calendar and the ability to count!!
