What happened to Christa's baby?
We clearly saw at the beginning of episode 1 (Season 2) that Christa was very much pregnant, and her, Omid & Clementine were discussing possible baby names. But during the next future time frame, when Clementine and Christa were around a campfire, you can clearly see she is't pregnant. This leads me to believe she has had the baby. The question is what could of happened to the child? Any ideas? I'm sure there's some pretty grim ones out there!

It's hinted that there was some kind of miscarriage or something. The game really didn't go into much depth about this subject yet - I suspect it will be revisited as the season progresses.
This, Episode 3's title card and the Episode 2 teaser suggests Rebecca is in labour with only Clementine to help her. I think the fate of Christa's child will be explored in this scene.
There are a couple of possibilities. Christa could have naturally miscarried the baby. This theory is plausible due to Christa being subjected to many factors that would contribute to a miscarry. 1.) She is constantly suffering from dehydration. 2.) She is near-starved from a severe lack of food, including food with essential vitamins and nutrients to help the fetus develop. 3.) A major contributor to miscarriages is stress. Trying to survive in the aftermath of the apocalypse obviously is putting her under a tremendous amount of stress. She is also grieving the tragic death of her lover and the father of the unborn baby. I would also imagine that she is worried about how she is going to raise a child in such a world and if bringing a child into it is a cruel thing to do. 4.) while certain amounts of healthy exercise is beneficial for the baby, extreme exercise is correlated with a higher risk of miscarriages. Adding in the other factors and considering that being pregnant is already straining, she is having to constantly fight off walkers and travel by foot. Another possibility is that she forced an abortion. I highly doubt she would do this, however. A third possibility is that she did manage to give birth but the baby died from some cause sometime after. Lastly, she could have given the baby to someone else whom she felt could better care for the baby, but I don't think Christa would want to give her child up.
Maybe they resorted to eating it, just saying
It'll surely be explained when Rebecca's giving birth.
Sam the dog got it! :<P
maybe the dingo ate her baby
Seinfield anyone?
I agree definitely! Thanks a lot for posting this point.
