Godfather

Warnings for mentions of past miscarriage

May 2023

Em was used to keeping secrets. She kept them until they nearly swallowed her whole, they’d nearly ruined her life. She and Dan were trying to not keep secrets anymore, they’d learned their lesson. But hiding her pregnancy felt like the hardest secret they’d ever kept.

She had no idea how they’d managed to do it at the MET, Dan fixing her outfit and hiding the cotton covering the not closing zip. Anne Hathaway complementing her pregnancy boobs felt insane. But that wasn’t too hard to do when she was a nobody surrounded by the A List, even though her husband was one of them. When Karlie Kloss debuted her own pregnancy on the red carpet it was even easier, she knew nobody would be looking at her for a bump then. Especially the non existent bump.

Those first few weeks of her pregnancy were completely unnoticeable on her body except for how her boobs looked. Unless you asked Dan. He insisted he could see it.

Yeah he noticed her boobs because he loved holding them, could feel the weight of them and how they were different because they were just too big to fill his hand exactly. He was a boob man and she never had any doubts with that. But he insisted that he could see a tiny bump. Lying beside Emmy at night, resting his hand on her stomach and insisting it was there and he could feel the firmness of their baby growing. But this time, knowing she was definitely pregnant, she couldn’t make jokes that it was too much food and New York pizza on too many street corners. This time it was true and they were so happy, even with the nerves until everything was confirmed. But she still knew Dan was exaggerating his reaction to her body.

But the problem was that by the weekend of Chloe and Scotty’s wedding she was completely paranoid. Every day she tried on the gorgeous cream bridesmaids dress, panicking that it wouldn’t fit anymore. She took note of how the dress sat on her body, the ways it changed. How the bust was tighter, how the flowing body was worrying her that it might get too tight to flow. Once she finished worrying she’d call Dan in to model the dress and ask if it was obvious. She’d turn around and stand still for him to look, but Dan never really answered, instead he just giggled watching her.

They were so excited. It didn’t feel real that they were actually going to be parents. They’d been trying and nervous and unsure if it would really happen, but as they got closer to the magical end of twelve weeks pregnant the excitement was growing. Em was far more cautious than Dan, begging him not to tell anyone, even his parents. They had to keep it from everyone until she was sure that it would be safe. She couldn’t bear if something went wrong.

Meanwhile Dan was biting his tongue in most conversations, the month since their wedding meaning people had started the “are you thinking about kids?” questions. If they walked past a baby he started smiling like a tiny child, he couldn’t help but grin as he watched Scotty’s niece run around the wedding rehearsal. Everyone oohed and ahhed watching Dan with her, making Em think about Dan and their own tiny curly haired daughter.

He even bought a pair of oh so tiny baby Vans, making Em cry like a baby that she firmly blamed on the hormones. He was a giggly, bubbly mess and she had to beg him to behave. She could hide under oversized shirts and hoodies, flowing dresses that didn’t show anything, but she couldn’t hide Dan’s constant grin.

The other thing that was so hard to hide from people, especially during the wedding weekend in Venice, was that Em had stopped drinking entirely. She’d been drinking a lot less since she came back anyway thanks to the antidepressants, but the second that test was positive it stopped totally. It was easy to hide when they were away on their honeymoon, and even when they were in Miami and surrounded by their friends it was easy. But surrounded by all their friends and so much alcohol free flowing it felt almost impossible.

The excuse was simple when people asked at the night before party, her “somebody needs to stop Dan jumping into a canal for a swim if he gets drunk”, but it didn’t work at the reception. Everyone had gone wild at it, Em one of very few not drinking. The only solution was the same thing they did at the Met and exchange glasses at the dinner tables to make it look like hers was emptying slowly. When the bars were open Dan would go up to get their drinks, coming back with a coke or sprite for Em to make it look like her drinks. If anyone else offered to get anything she shook her head, pointing at Dan getting her one.

But then Blake took the seat beside her, putting a vodka soda in front of her.

“Seriously, Blakey, I’m good! Plus my husband’s on the way to become a fucking mess, I need to look after him.” She spoke into his ear so he could hear her over the music.

“You’re not going to get drunk with this, it’s just a 7up and a slice of lime.” She wanted to ask why he’d specifically got her this, but before she could think of how to say it Blake was speaking again. “I know you nearly as well as I know myself, Timmy. I won’t say anything. Congrats, lil sis.”

She could feel the panic coming over her, the tears coming up to her eyes before her brain realised it’s ok that someone else knows. It’s a good thing that Blake knows. It’s Blake, the closest thing to a big brother that she’s ever had. The man who kept her secrets even when he knew what was going on behind closed doors with her and Dan. Who walked her down the aisle at her proper wedding, who organised their asses around their world even though Dan was taking a year away from driving. She didn’t want anyone to know until it was safe, wanted to keep this to themselves, but if someone else had to then she wanted it to be Blake.

“You need to keep this quiet. Please, Blake. Nobody else knows and you need to keep it.” She didn’t care how serious she sounded. The worry that people would find out hurt too much. “Plus if you tell anyone about this then Scotty gets to be godfather, not you.”

She smiled and took the glass from his hand to take a sip. She knew he wasn’t lying but the taste proved it, it was just a 7up. As she took a second sip she couldn’t help but grin as the surprised look took over his face.

“Me? Seriously?”

“If there’s anyone except me and Dan I trust with our kid, it’s their Uncle Blake. So yeah, we already decided. Easiest decision.” He wrapped her in a hug and Em held him tight, soaking in her brothers love. She’d told someone and the world didn’t blow up. It was going to be ok.

I was writing about Robert being upset because Giselle left the house after midnight to get a pizza she was craving while pregnant, and it got me thinking. How Adam was during Belle’s pregnancies (aside from the general worrying) Like they have people who could do it for them, of course, but was he often leaving the bed to get her tea or a random meal at 3am? or would she just go get it herself? would THAT worry him because “you’re pregnant and shouldn’t be on your feet 😠” idk basically just. asking about Adelle pregnant things 🫡

EEEEE!!!

i will say off the bat, adam is simply at his WORST when belle is pregnant. they get into The Most bickering matches during these times. it just so prominently brings out their biggest difference, which is that adam is a little ball of anxiety and belle is a free-spirited wild flower. now of COURSE, belle Does worry, she has concern over her family. (i think all the time about when maurice is leaving for the market and belle says “stay safe” like !! she does worry!!🥺) it’s just in general, and especially when she’s compared to her husband, she tends to think things will be Okay. for the most part. her worries are more situational. and with pregnancy she’s like “i’m young. i’m healthy. the midwives are unconcerned. we good 😌✌️” and if any of that changed she’d be like Oh Okay Noted🫡

whereas with adam, he just becomes so intensely protective of his family, because he never really expected to HAVE one (well, he definitely expected to have A Wife and Children™️, but he never anticipated actually CARING about them) so now that he does have them, and his heart is open and specifically beating FOR THEM!!! he just worries all the time :( and so when belle is PREGNANT it’s like!!!! AAHHH!!! he KNOWS his wife is still a strong powerful independent woman, but!!! there’s a Little Precious Darling in there now 🥺🥺🥺 and he doesn’t want anything to happen to either one of them!!! and he Knows this is a more delicate time!! even as capable as she is!!!! ESPECIALLY FOR THEIR FIRST HE IS JUST SUCH A DISASTER. AUGH. he always wants belle to rest and stop doing so much and just PLEASE try to act like SOMETHING is different!! but belle for the most part tends to carry on as if she’s not pregnant, as much as she possibly can, and that unfortunately infuriates adam 😮‍💨

as to your actual question, yeah belle definitely does that herself. very regularly. over time she does get more used to having servants but she never fully lets them do everything for her. but yeah!!! i actually have a fic of her sneaking down to the kitchen at like 4am because the baby was kicking up a storm and she couldn’t sleep. and she finds mrs. potts already starting the day baking something and they have a cute convo!!!!! the mother-daughter moment of it all!!!! anyway that’s this. but yeah she doesn’t bother waking adam up because she KNOWS he’d be like STAY THERE. I WILL FETCH YOU SUSTENANCE!!! (usually that means sending a servant to go get it. but i think he does get stuff directly sometimes, kind of just depends on if he wants to stretch his legs and/or needs A Moment to calm himself afjskdk) and she’s just like 😒😒 because she definitely would prefer the walk anyway. she’s a very active gal and i think the need for putting her feet up and all that is incredibly annoying to her. bed rest drives her CRAZYYYY my gosh. so adam just Reminding Her that she has to rest like, makes her want to strangle him <3 and if he Does catch her being on her feet when she shouldn’t, he always huffs and grumbles and she always glares and rolls her eyes in response.

NOW! that being said. pregnancy is a Journey and a Rollercoaster and i think there are definitely many times when belle is appreciative (and even demanding) of adam’s assistance. it PAINS her to ask for help, she’s just that independent of a person, but when she does, he’s always ready to help her and rarely gloats about it. like i have a scene in my docs that’s like, her Finally asking him to help put on her shoes. and he does it and then is like “i’m proud of you for asking! 🥰” and she’s like “yeah whatever 😒😒” lmao. he kisses her forehead and she HIDES HER SMILE BECAUSE GRRRR GO AWAY STOP BEING A NICE HUSBAND!!!! but then later she’ll be bawling her eyes out thinking about how all the autumn leaves are going away and dying and the weather is changing and that’s so sad😭😭😭 and adam will be there to hug her and remind her that they’ll come back in spring and by that time the baby will be here and you can show them all the flowers🥰 and then that makes her cry more because he painted such a sweet image in her mind.

belle’s pregnancies definitely always bring out a much much softer side to adam, as well. like YES he worries a lot and yes they bicker about it a lot, but he’s always such a softie for his darlings. they’re the only people that see him smile and laugh so much. so amidst all these worries and things, there are also so many soft moments too. moments of feeling the baby kick, of kissing her belly, of reading & singing to it, of day dreaming together about what this one will be like. fun debates like if it’s a boy or a girl, or what they’ll name them, or what color their eyes will be. (belle REALLY wanted them all to have adam’s blue eyes. but she had to wait til their last baby to get her wish🤧)

also especially the second and third pregnancies when other kiddos are involved. ESPECIALLY the third. renée is seven and FULL to the brim of opinions and questions, and both adam & belle love talking to her about it. i have a wip that i genuinely don’t know if i’ll ever finish or publish because it’s just adam & renée walking and having a back and forth conversation about the third baby. and renée just keeps asking questions so idk how it’s ever gonna end. that castle is full of hallways, and renée is full of words. they could do this forever. but it’s a fun character exercise <3 anyway, juliette as always is quieter in regards to her future little sibling, but belle cherishes the moments when jules will quietly put her hand on her bump and listen for her baby sibling. even in her less expressive face, belle can see her eyes light up when she feels the kicks and wiggles 🥹

i think this fic is a good example of what life was like just before their third was born. it includes good Adam Worrying™️ and them bickering, as well as the girlies being very cute 🥰🥰🥰

i also currently have a wip set when belle is newly pregnant with juliette, and she’s very nauseous (i think the nausea was Really bad for her for all 3 pregnancies 😭 but it only lasts for the first trimester. then she’s mostly okay besides usual tired/aches/cravings. but i can get more into that on another post 💖) anyway she’s very nauseous + renée is a BABY (when juliette is born, renée is freshly 2. so for the pregnancy she is. not even 2 yet 😮‍💨) so yeah it’s just adam taking care of his beloveds, mainly. adam does go get some tea for her in that one. actually you know what?? i should just go work on it so i can post it!!!! i’m gonna go do that 🏃‍♀️💨

#gosh!!!!!!!!! the pregnancy eras are so beloved to me 🤧#thank you 🥹🫶#alex tag #answered #batb 2017 #adelle #batb headcanons

in character

Name: Allegra McLeod

Gender & Pronouns: demi-girl & she/they

Age: 35

Birthday: February 3rd, 1989

Occupation: Works at Barclay's Racing Stables

Neighborhood: South Hills

Does your character have a secret? At age 29, Allegra got pregnant by accident, and didn't actually know who the father was. Before she started showing, she left town and gave the baby up for adoption before coming back.

biography

triggers: none

Allegra grew up in a pretty typical broken home: her mother ran away from them when Allegra was nine and her sister was only five, and their father had no interest in raising kids. They lived in a mobile home in Nashville, Tennessee, though calling it a 'home' was definitely a stretch. Her father didn't put any effort into maintaining it, and it was almost always littered with empty beer bottles, cigarette butts and discarded pizza boxes. It was a miracle that no one ever removed Allegra or her sister, but it was the 90's and they were far from the only family living on the fringes of town with a severe lack of income. Their daddy always sent them to school though, just so that he didn't have to deal with them during the day, dropping them off in the morning or kicking them out of the house to walk. He never picked them up in the afternoon however, far too drunk by that time of day to remember such a thing. And Allegra would never let her little sister get in the car with him in that state.

Allegra did everything she could to shield her sister from the disaster that was their father, but it wasn't easy. And by the time that Allegra was a teenager, she was lashing out at almost everyone around her, skipping school and getting into all sorts of trouble. She did her first stint in juvenile detention when she was sixteen, and her own regret was that she left her sister alone with their father.

By eighteen, Allegra was having regular run-ins with the police, and while she wanted to leave the shitty house she'd grown up in as soon as possible, it took until age twenty until she made it happen, though she was really only couch surfing without a permanent place to stay. Eventually, she was so known to law enforcement that Allegra decided to skip town, to find somewhere new.

That's how she ended up in Wilmington, the seaside town as far from the barren dustbowl that was Nashville that she could imagine. She managed to get a job as a bartender at a place that was willing to overlook the fact that she had no experience because she was more than willing to get down and dirty with the customers, keeping people coming back. Having a steady income probably did more harm than good for Allegra, wasting it on alcohol and drugs, and it wasn't long before she was in trouble with the law all over again. She slept around as a way to have a bed for the night, and wasn't always safe about it.

It was this trouble with the law that put her on the radar of Dan Barlowe, the manager at Barclay's Racing Stables. He often extended jobs to those at risk, to try and help them get back on the right track. But Allegra was more than happy living the way she was, and turned him down on more than one occasion. ---Until she got pregnant. For a long while, she didn't know what to do, but eventually she decided she couldn't terminate, but was in no way capable of raising a child. But there was no way she could stay clean during her pregnancy in town, not around all the influences she was so used to. So she left. Just before she started showing, Allegra left town and jumped state to Norfolk, Virginia. She gave the baby up for adoption, and spent another few months getting over the grief before returning to Wilmington and taking Dan up on his offer.

At first, she had next to no actual responsibilities, just grunt work: mucking out stalls, refilling hay bags, carting buckets of feed. She had to prove herself, to show that she was really committed to the job. And she was. It was a while before she was even really allowed to touch the horses, finally allowed to lead them from their stables to the paddocks and back again. Dealing with the animals helped Allegra rekindle her empathy, though dealing with people was still hard for her. The facility itself was a training stable, with a racetrack out the back of the property where the horses were worked and conditioned. The final show of trust from Dan was letting Allegra actually exercise the horses. She was used to motorcycles, but a horse was totally different. Letting them open up, thundering down the dirt track, the wind whipping at her face... it was intense. And something that Allegra certainly didn't want to do every day. Somehow, it was even harder than hauling shit out of stables for hours at a time...

While Allegra still drinks more than she should and sleeps around when the mood strikes, but she isn't the same person she was ten years ago. She's on some kind of path to being a decent human being.

Okay but you mentioned Nico/Toto in the maxnico au so what if Nico went on a date with Toto during the pregnancy? He’s feeling insecure because the bump is getting big and he can’t wear heels like he usually would, but max helps him get ready, telling him he’s so beautiful and Toto’s the luckiest man in the world. He’d stay up playing video games waiting for Nico to get back home so he knows he’s safe and just lets Nico babble about how amazing the date whilst they munch on a pizza that Nico brought back for Max (and then ate most of it himself because pregnancy is making him so hungry lol)

OH PLSSS

Max gently urging nico to go on the date when Nico is just unsure and self concious. It was toto who asked Nico out and Max trusts him to treat Nico right! Max helping Nico get ready, reassuring him he is gorgeous and he looks so pretty in his dress with the little bump on show! Nico feeling self concious about wearing flats until Toto shows up and he realises he is at a better height for hugs like this! Max and Toto shaking hands and Max kissing Nico softly before letting them go and ofcourse he stays up to wait for Nico!

Nico having such a good.time with Toto being so sweet and respectful and complimenting the Omega like crazy 😭😭 Nico would be so giddy when he gets back home (definitely sharing an eager kiss with Toto before he went back in) and cuddle into Max's side while.munching on most of the pizza he brought and just rambling away at Max. Max not even caring Nico smells like Toto, he is just happy Nico is happy and that he had a good night! Max helping Nico get changed into more cozy clothing and smiling when Nico asks to cuddle and plss Max softly kissing the bump before kissing Nico and whispering he is so happy for him!😭

Also Nico trying to set Max up on dates with Omegas but Max keeps declining? Eventually he admits to only being into Alphas is really shy about itnbut nico instantly sets him up with Alpha dan or Charles, cursing himself for not noticing how obvious Max's crush is!

Everyone deserves the right to be physically and mentally healthy. It's why the UN have made good health and well-being for all a global priority. Health is defined in a variety of ways. When we get a check-up with a doctor things like our weight, our behaviour and genetics are important. We measure the health of communities and nations by talking about things like life expectancy, number of doctors and nurses, mortality rates, and the cost of medicine. But what does a healthy country look like? If you want to beyond the age of 80, you should think of moving to Italy. One of the largest countries in Europe, it's officially the healthiest country in the world. Why is that? Italians live on a healthy Mediterranean diet consisting of fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, dairy products, olive oil and red wine. They eat pizza too, but everything in moderation. Italians have access to free healthcare, clean water, education and the number of doctors working there is high but it's not the same everywhere. Unhealthy habits can have a negative effect on our health and well being. When we eat unhealthy foods, drink too much alcohol, and smoke cigarettes, we can become sick with non-communicalbe conditions like obesity and heart disease. But our health and well being is also subject to change from external forces. Unhealthy infrastructure like poor sanitation and lack of clean running water can lead to the spread of communicable diseases like malaria, diarrhea, and flu- some of the leading causes of death in developing countries. And under-resourced, mismanaged healthcare systems can worsen the spread of non-communicalbe diseases because they don't have the doctors or nurses to treat patients or the money to pay for medicine. And in countries where healthcare is not free, lots of people cannot afford the care they need. But it's not all bad news. In fact the signs are good ! Between the years of 2000 and 2015, global life expectancy increased by five years. That's because governments are partnering with health organisations everywhere to invest in better infrastructure, trained doctors and nurses, and eradicate diseases like polio. In countries like Uganda, professional midwives are giving more women access to safe delivery during pregnancy, and in research hospitals all around the world scientists are working on new vaccines and cures. Our health is connected to the health to everyone on the planet as illnesses know no borders; but neither do cures. If we pay attention to our own health and well-being then we can make the world a happier, healthier, more prosperous place.

Piles, or hemorrhoids, are indeed swollen blood vessels in and around the rectum and anus. Due to change in our life style, Many diseases arise due to changes in our lifestyle and wrong eating habits. There is no time restriction in our eating time, sleeping time, working time. Along with this, lack of physical exercise, mental stress contributes to giving rise to various health problems like indigestion, gastric problems, acidity, constipation including piles. If these problems persist for a long time then the person may suffer from piles.

The development of piles (hemorrhoids) can be attributed to a variety of factors, and several common causes include:

Straining During Bowel Movements:

Chronic straining during bowel movements, often due to constipation, can lead to increased pressure on the veins in the rectal area, contributing to the development of hemorrhoids.

Constipation – if there is constipation you will put more strain while passing stool and that will indirectly increase the intra abdominal pressure and affect upon the rectal venous pressure

Hard stool- if you have hard stool due to lack of taking fibers rich diet then it will make you to give more strain during stool and cause piles

Chronic- hyperacidity and flatulency condition also increases the intra abdominal pressure and causes piles

Prolonged –sitting for hours together – if you are in a job where you have to sit for hours together like those who working in IT sector or corporate sector also contribute the chance of increasing intra abdominal pressure due to pressure build up by sitting long time in a seat. So ultimately develop piles.

Lacks of physical activities – Lack of physical activities affect the smooth rhythmical peristaltic bowel movement thus contribute a factor for developing constipation and piles.

Obesity – the gaining weight or obesity also plays a role for developing piles by increasing pressure in anal venous areas.

Pregnancy- the pregnancy also contributes a factor of increasing intra abdominal pressure and developing piles.

Chronic diarrhea also have the chance of developing piles

15th December

This morning was a tough morning with coeliac stuff. I'm feeling extremely anxious about glutening myself being pregnant but also this weird imposter syndrome just thinking about how relaxed I've been with this diet and yet I still fell pregnant and have seemed to maintain the pregnancy so far. I'm also 11 weeks which is when mum and Beth both lost their first pregnancies. I feel like because I havent been careful enough with my diet that I 'should' experience a miscarriage too, even though that's not how it works.

I have my work xmas party tonight and even though I called and confirmed they know what cross contamination is and how to avoid it I'm still scared that they'll react badly, or it'll bring up sympathy from my colleagues that I just cant deal with right now. I still have no idea if I'll go to Ash's thing, I'm leaning towards yes but I am feeling exhausted because I then have the thing on Sunday which again is around food and not a lot of time to set myself up for the week. I'm so thankful I only have one week left of work because between the anxiety with this pregnancy, anxiety coming up to social events with coeliac while trying to work I am TIRED!! Tired of making the decision of bringing my own food or asking all the coeliac questions and taking the risk, tired of thinking of what to eat all the time and meal prepping. Yesterday I got Roll'd and immediately regretted it because I KNOW it's a may contain and I should avoid it. But I was starving and didn't want to buy snacks I just wanted a proper lunch for once! And then I felt guilty and so worried I'm hurting my baby because I just can't manage how fucking strict this diet is. I hate how much stress this time of year brings because it all revolves around food which means me having to make decisions that I never asked to make. I feel like it isn't this hard for most people and I don't know why I just can't get past it. I'll be fine during quiet periods where there's not as much social events but as soon as there is I burn out so quickly. I tried to promise myself to follow up with 'treats' after events however when looking into it I don't always have time for solo dates and I still have to advocate for myself even if the restaurant is known for being coeliac safe. I'm getting my hair done on Monday (which is funny because I also had a hair appt after the retreat thing that was stressing me out so much) and apart from christmas day and the 27th that'll be it for food events for the year. Perhaps I just need to focus on doing the best I can to survive the end of the year mental health wise even if I can't advocate for myself every time and hopefully the new year I can focus on it more.

PLAN:

Tonight: "Just letting you know that I have coeliac which is like a severe gluten allergy, just wondering if you would be able to prevent cross contamination with the other pizzas when making mine?"

Tomorrow: Bring my food, just tell people "it's just easier", always the option to leave if it gets too hard. really think about whether I want to attend these events next year (this will be a good therapy topic) -this will be the hardest event, I want to push myself to at least try and go and I'll be relieved it's over but also proud of myself for going.

Sunday: I feel confident eating Elizabeth's mousakka and will be providing the pav so I know I'll get a safe dessert :) Be mindful with the crackers and dip etc.

Monday: get things to make chicken wraps for the week

Thursday: suggest non-food things with Navin e.g. starbucks, walk the river if she wants, nails done? tell her I am scared of getting glutened since getting preg

Xmas day: hard to control/predict, just do the best I can

27th: offer to order the chicken and let them know someone eating it has coeliac/severe gluten allergy

28th: unsure if I'll go, decide before xmas and just decline invitation.

Oh yes and thank god I have therapy on Wednesday!!

Transition Diaries: Week 5

October 25th 2023 - October 31st 2023

Day 29: October 25th 2023

Hygiene:

Looking into buying a new deodorant. Mine is slowly stopping working and I need to use so much more of it. My feet stink! I don't even wear socks or shoes. I never leave my house!!!!! This is wild.

NSFW:

One inch of growth in the first month. Not mad about that at all. This thing is a plump little monster let me tell you. I get random erections, like a teenage boy. Sitting in the car? Erection that tingles and itches. Eating pizza with my family? Erection that makes me have to shift my weight, but I can't escape it! Crying over my broken bong? Yup. Erection there too. Fuck you, tick tack dick. What the hell is your timing?! I don't want to fuck things when I'm SOBBING.

Peeing is weird. I was just sitting on the toilet, peeing like one does, and I COUGHED. And my pee YEETED onto the wall instead of going in the toilet. Like....henh? The urethra in the AFAB anatomy isn't anywhere near the clit. The fuck is happening? Well. Whatever, guess this is life now.

If my boobs don't stop feeling bruised soon I STG I might just cut them off myself. Holy fuck. Ow.

Appetite:

Actually starting to taper out as nausea and PMS symptoms kick in.

Body Hair:

Acne in places I never thought I would get it but here we are. Ass acne? Breast Acne? Thigh? Sure. I have Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), also called acne inversus, I'm used to that shit. But my NECK?! MY SCALP? MY FUCKIN ELBOW?! The hell?!

Vocal:

Yeaaaaaaaaaa we dropped y'all. I'm a raspy, cracky, little bitch but OH I am loving it. I can't wait to see where it settles.

Body General:

My mother noticed a change in my face shape during a video call. She said I look more like my father.

I've noticed a change in my overall torso shape, however I'm not sure if it's due to weight loss, as I've lost 20 lbs, or the T redistributing things. Could be both I suppose.

Menstruation:

I took pregnancy tests every single day that I was late to be safe. All remained negative

After being intimate with my partner this morning, she informed me there was blood. I went to inspect, and sure enough, my flow started. My cramps are intermittent but normal for me in the moderate to severe range. So far the actual flow is light. Continuing to monitor changes.

Misc:

Shaved off my face a few weeks back to monitor the new growth more accurately. Starting to feel itchy stubble on the chin. Here we go.

Day 30: October 26th 2023

Day 31: October 27th 2023

NSFW/Menstruation

The period shits. Oh GOD the period shits. Mother nature why hast thou forsaken us. Shit isn't supposed to be liquid fire. And it CERTAINLY isn’t supposed to run down my leg because I stood up out of my goddamn chair. Get fucked you stupid vampire. No one wants your bloody curse.

Day 32: October 28th 2023

Day 33: October 29th 2023

NSFW/Menstruation

Menstruation ended. Ended with a light bleed but large clots and painful cramps.

Day 34: October 30th 2023

Day 35: October 31st 2023

Appetite

Strong increase in hunger after being stable for a bit

Mood

Lot of ups and downs in mood specifically on the morning of the 31st. Sleepy, hyper, struggling with communication externally and verbally despite full lucidity in mental state other than some mild seizure activity. Unsure if related to hormone fluctuations post menstruation or something else.

NSFW

Orgasm’s have made a very large change in a very fast period. When masturbating, I find I enjoy penetration less and less than I used to. I don’t dislike it, I still very much enjoy penetration. But I tend to go for Bean/Peen stimulation as my “favorite” for a quickie.

Before T, My O’s could go and go. My partner once got me to 8 in a single session I believe before I tapped out. However now I can still O multiple times if it is a penetrative O, but any cliteral O’s take time to recover. This is ESPECIALLY true if I am masturbating with a toy. I favor suction toys the most, but directly after an O, I have to QUICKLY remove whatever I am using or the stimulation is immediately overwhelming post O.

The sounds I make changed as well, but only surrounding cliteral Os, which I found shocking and interesting.

The PeenBean has a mind of its OWN. If it DOESN’T get enough attention during a session, it doesn’t matter how satisfied I am, that thing will continue to itch and throb and remind you that it’s THERE. Don’t fuck with the Peenbean. It has an ATTITUDE

Gastro:

Just….make sure you have a good friendship with Pepto Bismol and Immodium.

Why did you elbow me? 142

Achilles Castle part 47

Castle: pov Kate she also said if you want this she will do everything in her power to make it happen safely. This is our choice Kate but your health is very important to me. You survived being shot in the heart Kate. I know you if you set your mind on something you can accomplish it. There are other ways to have children, like the Dr said we could always use a surrogate or adopt. The ride home is short once home we cuddle in bed, Kate is quietly crying while I hold her. I need to call Lanie, maybe she can make Kate feel better.

Lanie: pov Castle is calling telling me Kate's appointment didn't go so great, the Dr isn't sure if Kate's heart can handle a pregnancy but if Kate wants this knowing the risks the Dr will make sure everything turns out okay. I agree nothing could happen to Kate or something bad could happen to her and is it worth the risk. I tell Castle I will talk to her after work and suggest we have a girls night.

Kate: pov it's Lanie calling asking if I'm free tonight she wants to come over to have a girls night since Ryan and Esposito are hanging out. Lanie tells me Ryan said something about Jenny visiting her mom tonight. Castle offers to cook dinner, he mentions having to get some writing done Gina is getting on his nerves about him being behind when he is not at all.

Castle: pov I decided to make a nice soup that Kate can have. While she is taking a nap I start on the soup by cutting up the vegetables and other stuff. She gets up just before Lanie arrives, the food is done, I grab a bowl then wheel myself to my office to get some writing done.

Lanie: pov you okay girl you look a little down, Kate says it's just Jenny is pregnant and I have been advised not to get pregnant and it's hard. Well did she say no, Kate says sort of she mentioned if I wanted to get pregnant she would do everything to make sure everything turns out okay. Kate, what I think she is saying is this is risky for your health but if you're willing to take the risk she will make sure you do it safely.

Kate: pov wow Lanie I never thought of it that way. So what movie are we watching while we eat? How about the movie Pretty woman? I haven't seen that in a while. The food castle made is amazing, I forgot how good this movie is. I ask Lanie how things are going with Esposito she says great. After the movie Lanie heads home since we have work in the morning. In the morning I shower and make breakfast before I have to leave for work. Since Castle is injured he is staying home to get some writing done. I have a dentist appointment during my lunch break today, I will grab a smoothie afterwards. My morning is filled with paperwork and DD5's. The drive to my appointment is short, I sign in and wait for my name to be called. My dentist is very nice and knows my medical history pretty well. He cleans my teeth with no incident which is great, turns out I have a cavity that has to be filled. With my busy work schedule it's hard for me to know if I will be free that day. I decided to make the appointment anyway, it's in a few days. I grab my smoothie and head back to the precinct.

Ryan: pov how did the dentist appointment go Kate, it couldn't have been that bad at least you didn't have 2 cavities. Esposito and I are eating pizza for lunch. Jenny has another baby appointment today. After work I head home and ask her how the appointment went Jenny said great the baby is right on schedule.

Esposito: pov I ordered some takeout because I know Lanie will be tired. She had a long day at work. Once home I open the Chinese food and put it on some plates, Lanie picks a movie for us to watch, she chooses jumanji. It's a classic. How can anyone not like this movie? After talking for a while we plug in our phones and head to bed.

Kate: pov we just closed a hard case this week tomorrow is my dentist appointment, the dentist office is calling me probably to confirm my appointment I answer the phone. Kate Beckett, speaking this is receptionist lacey I'm calling because the Dentist was in an accident today and your appointment tomorrow is going to be with a temporary Dentist. Lacey is the receptionist filling in for Jackie, the receptionist on maternity leave she says unless you want to reschedule it, it's hard for me to take time off so I decided to keep the appointment.

Ryan: pov Jenny is getting big now which is very hot. I heard a pregnant woman enjoys pleasure more than people who are not pregnant. Me and Jenny are both in the shower after breakfast which was eggs and bacon. Jenny has me pushed against the shower wall, whatever she is doing is amazing. Sarah Grace is still sleeping once she is up and has breakfast Jenny will take her to school.

Dr stern: pov I can't believe how many patients I have to treat on top of my own it's overwhelming. I manage to squeeze in some lunch which I eat quickly, it's hard not knowing these patients.

Lanie: pov the day feels so long and it's only lunch time. I brought my own lunch today. Once I eat my sandwich I head back to work. I just know today is going to be a long one.

Esposito: pov me and Lanie are heading out to dinner tonight at a Spanish restaurant which I'm very excited about. We leave the precinct and head straight to the restaurant.

To be continued

Fibroids Causes And Treatment - IVF Center In Jaipur

What are Fibroids?

If you are facing fibroids problems you should get a consultation from your nearest IVF Center In Jaipur. A benign tumor is known as a fibroid form in the uterine wall. It is a tumor made of fibrous and muscle components. It is discovered in women between the ages of 20 and 70 while they are in their reproductive years, and experts estimate that it is 99% harmless.

Red, pink, and brown discharge are possible, and it may occur during therapy as well, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it is hazardous.

Causes of Fibroid?

The exact reason is not known yet. Estrogen and progesterone, two hormones that boost the uterine lining's growth during the menstrual cycle in preparation for pregnancy, also encourage the formation of fibroid. When a fibroid is present, a woman can become pregnant quickly, but it might occasionally affect her fertility.

If it is not treated in a timely manner, it could result in pain, heavy bleeding, and possibly very uncomfortable cramping.Overconsumption of packaged foods, such as pasta, pizza, bread, etc. Alcohol use results in fibroid.Living a healthy lifestyle can sometimes treat fibroid, even though occasionally medication or surgery is the only option.

What can be done to cure fibroid?

Consume a lot of fruits and vegetables, especially veggies like broccoli and cabbage and fruits like apples and tomatoes. Exercise frequently, trim your lower abdominal fat, and your fibroid symptoms will improve.Regularly check your blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure, talk to your doctor. It can be reduced with diet and exercise.

What should be avoided?

Avoid processed and packaged foods like meat and high-fat dairy items to be safe and healthy. Avoid skipping workouts and quitting smoking, especially if you are struggling. It is advised to visit your doctor as soon as possible if you are experiencing any problems because this will help to treat your illnesses as soon as possible

Decades of research document the detrimental health effects of BPA – an expert on environmental pollution and maternal health explains what it all means

The chemical BPA has been shown to leach from food packaging products into our bodies. Jacobs Stock Photography Ltd/DigitalVision via Getty Images

Tracey Woodruff, University of California, San Francisco

Whether or not you’ve heard of the chemical bisphenol A, better known as BPA, studies show that it’s almost certainly in your body. BPA is used in the manufacturing of products like plastic water bottles, baby bottles, toys and food packaging, including in the lining of cans.

BPA is one of many harmful chemicals in everyday products and a poster child for chemicals in plastics. It is probably best known for its presence in baby bottles due to campaigns by organizations such as Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families and Breast Cancer Prevention Partners.

An extensive body of research has linked BPA to reproductive health problems, including endometriosis, infertility, diabetes, asthma, obesity and harming fetal neurodevelopment.

After years of pressure from environmental and public health advocates, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration agreed in June 2022 to reevaluate the health risks of BPA. This is significant because a vast body of research has documented that BPA is leaching from products and packaging into our food and drink and ultimately our bodies.

youtube

The game of “chemical Whack-A-Mole” – and how it affects the products you buy.

What is BPA?

BPA is not only used in plastics and food and drink containers but also in pizza boxes, shopping receipts, liners of aluminum cans and much more. Scientists have found that BPA is an endocrine disruptor, which means it disrupts hormonal systems that support the body’s functioning and health.

Hormonal disruption is a particular problem during pregnancy and fetal development, when even minor changes can alter the trajectory of developmental processes, including brain and metabolic development.

Over the last two decades, public awareness about the risks led many companies to remove BPA from their products. As a result, studies have shown that BPA levels in people’s bodies appear to be declining in the U.S. However, a nationwide research team that I helped lead as part of a national NIH consortium showed in a recent study of pregnant women that the decline in BPA could in part be explained by the fact that BPA replacement chemicals have been on the rise over the last 12 years. And other studies have found that many BPA substitutes are typically just as harmful as the original.

As an environmental health scientist and professor and director of the University of California, San Francisco Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment who specializes in how toxic chemicals affect pregnancy and child development, I am part of a scientific panel that decides if chemicals are reproductive or developmental toxicants for the State of California. In 2015, this committee declared BPA a reproductive toxicant because it has been shown to be toxic to ovaries.

BPA and the FDA

BPA was first approved for use in food packaging by the FDA in the 1960s. In 2008, the agency released a draft report concluding that “BPA remains safe in food contact materials.” This assessment was met with pushback from many health advocates and environmental health organizations. The FDA claimed BPA to be “safe in food contact materials” as recently as 2018.

Meanwhile, since 2011, Canada and Europe have taken steps to ban or limit BPA in children’s products. In 2021, the European Union proposed “dramatic” decreases in BPA exposure limits due to a growing body of evidence linking BPA to health harms.

One of the major challenges to limiting harmful chemicals is that regulatory agencies like the FDA try to figure out the levels of exposure that they consider harmful. In the U.S., both the FDA and the Environmental Protection Agency have a long history of underestimating exposures – in some cases because they do not adequately capture “real-world exposures,” or because they fail to fully consider how even small exposures can affect vulnerable populations such as pregnant women and children.

youtube

Surprising research findings on the safety of ‘BPA-free’ products.

Latest research

A large body of research has explored BPA’s effects on reproductive health. These studies have also revealed that many BPA substitutes are potentially even worse than BPA and have looked at how these chemicals act in combination with other chemical exposures that can also come from a variety of sources.

And while much attention has been paid to BPA’s effects on pregnancy and child development, there is also significant research on its effects on male reproductive health. It has been linked to prostate cancer and drops in sperm count.

In a study our research team conducted that measured BPA in pregnant women, we asked study participants if they knew about BPA or tried to avoid BPA. Many of our study participants said they knew about it or tried to avoid it, but we found their actions appeared to have no effect on exposure levels. We believe this is, in part, because of BPA’s presence in so many products, some of them known and some unknown that are difficult to control.

What you can do

One of the most common questions our staff and clinicians that work with patients are asked is how to avoid harmful chemicals like BPA and BPA substitutes. A good rule of thumb is to avoid drinking and eating from plastics, microwaving food in plastic and using plastic take-out containers – admittedly easier said than done. Even some paper take-out containers can be lined with BPA or BPA substitutes.

Our recent review of the research found that avoiding plastic containers and packaging, fast and processed foods and canned food and beverages, and instead using alternatives like glass containers and consuming fresh food, can reduce exposures to BPA and other endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

Research has shown that when heat comes into contact with plastic – whether water bottles, Tupperware, take-out containers or cans – BPA and other chemicals are more likely to leach into the food inside. One should also avoid putting hot food into a food processor or putting plastic containers into the dishwasher. Heat breaks down the plastic, and while the product might appear fine, the chemicals are more likely to migrate into the food or drink – and ultimately, into you.

We also know that when acidic foods like tomatoes are packaged in cans, they have higher levels of BPA in them. And the amount of time food is stored in plastic or BPA-lined cans can also be a factor in how much the chemicals migrate into the food.

No matter how much people do as individuals, policy change is essential to reducing harmful chemical exposures. A large part of our work at UCSF’s Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment is to hold regulatory agencies accountable for assessing chemical risks and protecting public health. What we have learned is that it is essential for agencies like the EPA and FDA to use the most up-to-date science and scientific methods to determine risk.

Build your own rockstar | Chapter 4/4

Pairing: Glamrock Freddy X Female Reader Tags: Giving birth, pregnancy, fluff, human x machine

Minors DNI

The swell of your stomach caused Glamrock Freddy to feel immensely proud.

After months of repeated treatment, it was successful at last. The spells of morning sickness, bloating and other pregnancy-related ailments were oddly welcome.

Every now and then, Freddy would place a protective hand over his ‘Little Superstar’, as he had so lovingly dubbed your child already, and occasionally brought his metallic muzzle to your stomach to speak to it.

Weeks passed, months passed. The baby grew and so did your tummy, and you were glowing happily by the time you reached your eighth month. So far, it had gone without any trouble, and you had already started building a nursery for the baby.

The other animatronics weren’t as sentient as Freddy Fazbear, not quite comprehending his happiness yet fully aware that there was an adorable child growing inside your womb, and that Freddy would be seen as the father.

“If it’s a girl,” said Roxy, “You should call her Roxanne!”

You couldn’t help but laugh a bit, partially because she was deadly serious, and shovelled another spoonful of soft serve topped with tomato slices into your mouth - a strange pregnancy craving, really, but who were they to deny you such a simple pleasure?

Freddy rubbed gentle circles over your back, looking at you in a doting manner. “No, we’ve been thinking about the name–”

“Freddy, don’t spoil it!” you exclaimed with a mouth full of ice cream. You quickly swallowed it, wiping your lips with a napkin. “We can’t say the name of our baby before they are born!”

“Why not? I want to shout it from the rooftops and write songs about them!”

“That’s awfully sweet of you, Freddy, but really… It should be a surprise!”

Freddy’s ears momentarily drooped, but he understood soon enough.

“Don’t you have any standards?” Chica cried out upon witnessing you add a handful of jalapenos to your soft serve. “Even I wouldn’t eat that, (Y/n).”

You shrugged and took another bite. Freddy sighed happily, content with sharing his journey towards fatherhood with his closest friends.

“Alright you all, the tea party is over. Go towards your charging stations lest you be out of power during your show in an hour!”

Vanessa always had to spoil the fun, but you knew that she was right. With a low sound akin to a purr, Freddy nuzzled his nose against your face and you kissed his cold nose.

“Love you, sweetheart.” he told you, “And our Little Superstar.”

You beamed, rubbing his cheek gently. “I love you too, Papa Bear.”

The animatronics did as they had been told, leaving you in the staff restaurant. However, Chica halted next to you, reaching over to tip her oversized finger into your ice cream, having a taste regardless.

She flinched as if she had been able to truly detect flavour. “That’s revolting, (Y/n)! As soon as your pregnancy is over, I am sure you’d say the same.”

You laughed, taking another bite. “I don’t care,” you said, “Right now, I am still pregnant, so allow me to enjoy it now! And good thing that you don’t like it, that means that there is more left for me!”

~*~*~

Your ankles were sore, but you stood near the stage nevertheless, supporting your bulging belly with your hands whilst rubbing coaxing circles over the sore and itchy skin. Making sure to stay out of sight, you watched how Freddy and his friends performed, the crowd going crazy.

The songs were thoroughly familiar to you, for you had heard them time and time again, but you adored to hear Glamrock Freddy’s voice reverberate through the halls of the Mega Pizza Plex. It made you feel safe wherever you walked, for it kept you remembering that he was just around the corner, no matter what happened.

A warm feeling between your legs pulled you out of your concentrated state, and for a minute, you scolded yourself for feeling lustful just because of Freddy’s deep voice trembling through the speakers, but it was soon accompanied by a wave of pain, and the stain in your trousers was way too large to be from any sort of arousal.

“Vanessa?!” you called out at once, panic building in your chest. As quickly as your feet could carry you, you walked backstage, calling out to her, “Vanessa!”

She groggily looked around the corner of the staff room, with bleary eyes, as if she had just woken up from a nap on the sofa. You didn’t blame her, for she had a whole night shift to cover.

“What?”

“I-I think my water just broke!”

She was awake at once, fixing her clothes and rushing over to you. Seeing the obvious stain, she placed you down on the sofa in the staffroom at once, ushering out any other staff members who gave you curious glances.

“Oh, (Y/n), no worries. Just stay calm, I will call the doctor - midwife - hospital, ah! I am prepared for this! Do you need me to fetch Fred–”

You put your hand on her arm, shaking your head. A wave of sudden pain overwhelmed you as your first contraction washed over you. “N-No, you don’t have to get Freddy! Labour… Labour always takes a long time, he will… Have plenty of time to finish the… Show!”

You felt light-headed, and when Vanessa said you were allowed to scream to let it all out, you didn’t have to hear that another time.

The shrill sound of a labouring woman filled the Pizza Plex, just loud enough for Freddy to hear over the blaring music blasting through the speakers. His ears perked up, the words of the song getting stuck in his artificial throat, and he looked behind him. Roxy gave him a strange look as Monty frowned. “Come on, Fredbear! This is your verse!”

Glamrock Freddy, however, was in no shape or form able to finish his performance now that his receptors had picked up your anguish - his true feelings and sentience were always stronger than his program - and he dropped the microphone at once to rush off, causing a deafening squeak to echo through the Megaplex.

“So sorry, ladies and gentlemen!” said Chica, “It seems that Freddy Fazbear has to take a bathroom break! No worries, because Monty, Roxy and I are here to sing you the next song - one of our newest singles!”

Freddy barged into the room and found you at once, your forehead damp with sweat, face distressed and in obvious pain. “Freddy,” you groaned, “Freddy, go finish your show! I will be… Ah! I will be fine! It’s only the first contraction, it will… Get better in a bit!”

“No!” protested Freddy, sitting down next to you to hold you, “I will not leave your side.”

Vanessa was still talking on the phone, her voice muffled by the wall. You listened to it for a second, huffing out deep breaths.

“Freddy, your show–”

“I don’t care about the show. Not when you are here giving birth! No, I will not leave your side.”

Vanessa returned, giving you a determined look. “They are on their way,” she said, and you gave a thankful, watery smile.

You couldn’t wait for this to be over.

~*~*~

Glamrock Freddy had indeed not left your side ever since you had begun your lengthy process of giving birth. Even though he sometimes had to keep his distance albeit at the behest of the doctor or because you were inexplicably yelling at him throughout bouts of intense pain - you had called him ‘Fucking Fazbear’ at least three times now in the past two hours - he remained in close proximity, keeping his eyes focused on your at all times.

Exhausted.

Exhausted, and delighted.

Those were the only two emotions that ran through your veins the very moment they put a wailing, greasy baby girl on your bare chest. You held her at once, letting out a choked sob.

“Freddy,” you cried, “Freddy, look at her!”

The animatronics had no function to cry, but his voice was still thick with emotion when he whispered your name.

“Oh, my sweetheart. Our Little Superstar, our Little Starlet! She’s beautiful. Oh, she’s an angel!”

~*~*~

The other animatronics were delighted to meet your daughter. All shows had been cancelled for the day under the ruse of mechanical error so that everyone had time to settle in and get a look at the newest addition to the ragtag group of machines and humans.

“Little baby!” cheered Sun, “Can she play already? She is going to have so many friends!”

You laughed a bit, rubbing some (h/c) hairs from her forehead before kissing it softly. “Not yet, Sunny. It will take some time for her to grow.”

Sun pouted, but seemed to understand the fragility of the baby.

You held out the infant to Freddy, who carefully took it from you. She looked even smaller now that he was holding her against his chest, deliberately attempting to heat up his systems so that she could warmly snuggle up against him. She looked up at him with large eyes, momentarily threatening to cry, but soon fell asleep again.

“What is her name?” wondered Monty.

Glamrock Freddy and you looked at each other for a moment, smiling.

“Elizabeth.” you said.

A whisper went through the group of animatronics. “Lovely name!” declared Chica.

“Elizabeth, you know, after…” Roxy muttered, causing Freddy to nod.

“Yes. After Elizabeth Afton, may her soul find rest one day.”

The group was silent for a bit, admiring the image of Freddy holding the small girl in his large arms. As soon as she began to get fussy, Freddy gave her back to you so that you could nurse her.

“Can I snap a picture of her wearing my sunglasses?” Monty asked, causing you to laugh out loud.

“Absolutely!” you told him. “And everyone can hold her for a bit, but not right now. It is so wonderful for you guys to be part of her family. I am sure she will love all of you intensely.”

The group of animatronics dared to approach your bed to look at the babe more up close. Across the room, Vanessa stood leaned against the wall, her arms crossed over her chest. You locked eyes with her, and a shiver ran down your spine from the odd look in her eyes.

You opened your mouth to call her over so that she could see the baby as well, but the blonde already rushed out of the room, your gut unpleasantly clenching with worry.

Your concern was short-lived, for Elizabeth stirred against your chest and demanded your attention. The animatronics were in awe, lovingly looking at the newborn child. Freddy stroked your hair gently, momentarily having eye contact with you.

The wait had been so worth it, but you were happier than you could ever have imagined.

~*~*~

A wail filled the nursery as two-year-old Lizzie stirred awake from her nap. She turned in her crib to see where her parents were, but did not see them.

The door creaked open, and a boy no older than eleven appeared on the threshold, seemingly running from someone - or something .

The crying stopped at once as curious eyes witnessed how the boy rubbed some shaggy brown hair out of his face and began looking around the room. As soon as his gaze settled upon Elizabeth, he began to slightly panic.

“Oh, hey there!”

The toddler’s lip began to tremble as he approached her carefully.

“I mean no harm,” he promised, “My name is Gregory, and who are you?”

Elizabeth swallowed away her tears, but her attention was soon drawn to the door opening, the voices of her parents drawing closer.

“--Indeed, Vanessa has been acting off lately. Things seem so different when Elizabeth is around the other animatronics, too, when–”

Freddy halted in his tracks when he opened the door, seeing the young trespasser standing next to his daughter’s crib. Behind him stood you, hands underneath your swollen belly, Elizabeth’s sibling due to arrive within two months.

“You are not supposed to be in here,” said Glamrock Freddy with a strict edge to his voice, but you ushered him inside at once, closing the door behind you.

“Start explaining why you are here,” urged Freddy, “Now.”
