This is exactly what I was thinking. Stupid obeast wanted the immediate attention and praise. I had a few miscarriage scares early on in my pregnancy (bleeding) so we didn't announce to immediate family until about 12 weeks, even though we wanted to announce at 8. Extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins) didn't find out until 20. I was in my sister's wedding party at 16 weeks and nobody had any idea I was pregnant (except the few family members we had told by that point). Having a strong core meant I didn't start "showing" until about half way through the pregnancy. The ironic thing, is the obeast in OP's story probably could have gone the entire pregnancy without anyone even knowing it was pregnant. But it had to be the center of attention, so it announced too early, and lost the baby as a result of its own poor choices. Can't exactly say I feel sorry for the obeast - seems like it got exactly what it deserved.
