𝕯aenerys had never truly tried to think about her first pregnancy or her son that much. After he had died in exchange for her husband, who had then also died by her hands, it was a memory that she often put to the back of her mind. She had killed her first born child, her son.
But now, she was undeniably pregnant again and she could not help but continuously ponder over her first pregnancy, over what she had done wrong, of the fact that it was her fault and the fact that Daenerys had been convinced that a witch had cast her spell on her.
Mirri Maz Duur had told her that she would never had children again and the residing fear was still wreathed around her heart.

First things first, she had to make it through childbirth and give birth to a healthy child and make sure that they were alive and not a monster. That was the biggest of her challenges. But she knew that her challenges did not end there.
Daenerys had never had a mother, she had never had a mother figure and she did not know how to be a mother. What if she got it all wrong? What happens if she harmed this child or made it go wrong because of her inability to be a parent?
And then, considering how she had felt about her only other living blood relative, what if she grew to hate the child? The child was not exactly being born at the best time, which was mainly Coren and Daenerys' fault, but what if-
