Breeding box for goldfish riddle and his darling?
YES YES!!!! EXACTLY!!!!! You have read my mind, lovely anon. <3 goldfishie Riddle who keeps nudging you because the eggs are packed so tightly inside you, and they're stuck and it's causing you such discomfort. >_< he doesn't know what to do. He's trying to help in the best way he can (by chasing and attempting to breed you).
The researchers take notice of this and thus the breeding box is installed into the tank to isolate you from Riddle. He's so distressed with the separation, but he's soothed somewhat since the box still allows him to see you even if you're now separated by a wall of glass. Researcher [insert twst character here, but for me it will always be Azul LOL] gets into the box with you to help you in laying the eggs. Gently massaging your gravid belly, pressing down softly...... orz orz you're clinging to him and crying relieved tears because it feels so much better with his help. Riddle knows the researchers are helping you, but he feels so useless simply watching from the other side. He's your mate! It's his job to help and care for you, and yet he couldn't do that this time. Aaaa he feels like he's failed his duties as a mate.
You're kept in the box for a few days to recover. The researchers check in on you, bring you your meals, calm down a very irritated Riddle, and eventually you're back to feeling like your usual self. Sadly, this clutch isn't fertilized. Riddle fully intends to help you the next time you have eggs, but this time he'll be the one helping you to lay them and, of course, fertilize them so you can start a family hehe.
#twisted chit chat#tw: oviposition#tw: pregnancy#thank you for sending this ask orz#i was prepared to make it a meraki mumbles because i missed goldfishie riddle :D

Astarion being a father is on the mind, again. Anyway, conversation I had with a friend the other day was that being a vampire is not effective birth control
Can you imagine after the events of bg3, Tav and Astarion are somewhat settled (or as a settled as they can be), and Tav notices something is off. Gets checked out and finds out they're pregnant
Upon breaking the news to Astarion
"I can count on one hand the amount of times we've slept together, and you're telling me one of those got you pregnant?"
I think shocked would be an understatement
#ramble#bg3#baldur's gate 3#baldurs gate 3#astarion#astarion x tav#pregnancy#he would not be prepared#friend said: i'm 200 years old but am i ready to be a father lmfao

Do you have any SCP 049 headcanons that you can share where Reid is pregnant with his child?
You've heard the term mother hen, now get ready for father hen.
You thought he was protective before. He reaches a whole new level of territorial.
Thankfully, he's a doctor... of a sort... which means Reid gets free healthcare. Kind of. She gets daily examinations, at least, though she wonders if it's necessary at that frequency, or if he's just looking for an excuse to feel her up. (He is).
049 doesn't really understand why he keeps making their bed into a nest, but Reid has given up trying to fix it, especially since it is very comfortable being surrounded by blankets and pillows.
049 gives amazing massages, though it was something he had to learn given he couldn't touch anyone before. But he's studious and dedicated to his craft with his hands, in all aspects...
There seems to be a correlation with how big Reid is getting and how tactile 049 is, which leads to Reid getting wound up, and no matter how far along she is, he's taking her to the nest. If they can get that far.
Despite pregnancy aches and pains, it does nothing to dampen Reid's libido, and somehow the two of them are even worse while she's pregnant. Some days they simply don't leave the nest, but 049 wouldn't prefer it any other way, using it as an excuse to dote on her when she would otherwise protest.
049 points out that perhaps next time he should refrain from knotting her, but Reid is having none of it. She always finds a way to get stuck on his knot anyway, even when he's consciously trying to polite about it.
Most likely, it won't be long before chick #2 is on the way.

Willington Palace | Sage, SimDonia
??? on Soom: As long as changes are minor, we should have ample time to have everything ready by next week, Your Royal Highness.
Gerhard on Soom: Everything seems to be coming together so well that I doubt there will be any, but thank you, Anne. Thank you all for your hard work. I’m excited to see the gym tomorrow.

One thing that I'll always find funny is the scene in "The Future" where Sam is showed in deep lore-research mode and start scribbling numbers on the world-map table like so:
Dean even calls him "Beautiful Mind" so it seems like something super duper difficult (which, in a way, it is) and then...
basically he's found out *somewhere in Loreland* that Nephilim don't need 9 months to get to full term (but doesn't say how exactly they need but okay) so what's he doing? does he have a pregnancy wheel? does he know kelly kline's last period? he probably knows the conception date since radio angel gossiped about it and cas smashed 2 good cups of coffee + had a massive migraine because of it, but other than that? we don't know! but we see numbers and magically sam has come up with a date, "around may 18th". okay!
#spn#supernatural#writers be like#why do we have to research available info on pregnancy when we can pull “THE LORE” card?#lol#it's not like this was the whole plot of s12 and we didn't have time to prepare but sure#let's just have a montage scene with sam in deep-lore research to explain it away

I know right :c? R.i.p my daughter concubine Mei, she will be SO missed!
#it's crazy how Ruyi's reaction to all of this is like 'ugh living in the palace is such a sad fate'#I need mahidevran's iconic 'fate?' discourse to be told to her#like omg wake up your husband is the one who holds the power here. Mei is literally telling you how everything was the emperor's order#plus she never got to serve him again after the pregnancy. how can you not see he's the one that used her and not 'fate'#i was prepared for this to be a nian shilan type of death but nope ruyi just couldn't get the message#crazy how she was starting to wake up with the torture on suoxin & the conception medicine#and then all got back to normal#anyways love you mei!!#no one there deserved you#watching ruyi#ruyi's royal love in the palace#bai ruiji

hiii:) i was wondering if would you ever write a part 2 to end of the line?? maybe where MC is pregnant/ they have kids and it’s a lot of seb fluff and maybe some smut👀
Hmm I’m definitely tempted to ! Sebastian in dad-mode has an appeal to it that I can’t overlook. I’ll see if I can come up with some additional ideas for a continuation, I just apologize in advance if it takes me a while to get to it ;;
#asks#End of the Line was so self indulgent and got less traction than most of my fics so I was prepared to leave it as is#but yeah. I kinda wanna see it pan out further so fuck it#let me just get through this hellish bout of indecisiveness with Dominis and I’ll start thinking about adding another chapter#tw pregnancy#just in case

» Domestic!Attoye || Attoye Prompt Drabbles || Master List «
Attuma was moping. Okoye could see him from her reclined position on the couch, though, he would have been hard to miss from anywhere in the house—his long, broad body stomping about the kitchen as it was. She wasn’t exactly sure what he was doing, yet his dejected mood tugged at her. She’d been trying to ignore him, but that was something he’d always made difficult. Even before they’d gotten together. Well, especially then as he’d strutted around her—flexing and prodding, until she’d been compelled to act, fulfilling his desire for her attention.
Presently, that wasn’t his aim. His upset at the gruff words she’d said was genuine, and enflamed her sense of guilt. Of late, her hormones had been raging, the first trimester of her pregnancy bringing, in addition to the gift of constant nausea, the boon of uncontrollable mood swings. Hers hadn’t been of the teary variety (at least not yet), but a mix of anger and bone deep annoyance at those around her, even her adoring husband who’d only made the grave mistake of doting on her.
That morning, she’d woken up feeling more refreshed than she had in days, the queasiness that had been plaguing her a barely noticeable hum (as opposed to the thundering drumbeat it had been). She’d taken that as a sign her morning sickness was nearing its end, and indulged in a heavy breakfast, rich in flavor. It was the exact opposite to the bland toast and broths she’d had to eat to help ease her nausea.
Going down, the food had been heaven, her spirit happy as she did a jig in her chair. When it all came back up, less than a half hour later, Okoye had been sure she was in hell, her body’s heaving a clear punishment for past transgressions.
Attuma had tried to help, rubbing her back while she hunched over the toilet. It had felt nice. The warm expanse of his palm soothed some of the tension from her muscles, and the cool cloth he’d held to the nape of her neck was refreshing. If that had been all he’d done, she would have remained thankful for his presence, but he’d had to open his mouth.
“My love, I cautioned you against eating such heavily seasoned meat. You should have heeded my warning.”
While what he’d said had been true, he’d chosen the most inopportune time to say it. She’d made that abundantly clear, using the most colorful of language.
She remembered calling him a bullheaded, peacock of a man and knew that she’d cursed his existence before ultimately kicking him out of the bathroom, but recalled little else of what she’d yelled between bouts of vomiting. It must have been awful to have actually chased her husband away.
Rising from the couch, her body having recovered from the complete expulsion of her stomach’s contents, she approached him. She kept to the kitchen’s doorway and rung her hands, watching as he fell still and kept his back to her.
“I meant what I said to be a compliment,” she hesitantly joked, attempting to lighten the mood.
Attuma’s only audible response was a sigh as he moved to resume his activities.
“I’m sorry!” Okoye exclaimed, stepping into the room as her eyes began to water. (So much for her fluctuations in mood not involving tears.) She propelled herself forward until he was within arm’s length. Touching her fingertips to his spine, she sniffled.
“Please don’t be angry with me. You know, I don’t actually mean any of what I said.” Had she not been desperate for his forgiveness, she would have been mortified by the sniveling that could be heard in her voice.
Embracing him from behind, she pressed her face into his hair, which hung in waves over his shoulders. Her arms encircled his waist, coming to stroke along his belly, her fingers catching on the shark teeth embedded in his skin. Her demeanor calmed, eyes drying, as he relaxed in her hold, his head tipping back to barely just rest on hers.
“All is forgiven, my love. I could never remain angry at the mother of my children.”
#okoye x attuma#attuma x okoye#attoye#okoye#attuma#black panther wakanda forever#mywriting#attoyedailyprompt#domesticattoye#attuma better prepare himself#cause he's gonna get his feelings hurt a whole lot during her pregnancy

Birth Doulas: Empowering Support for Expectant Families
Shaina Tranquilino
December 12, 2023
Bringing a new life into the world is an incredible journey filled with joy, anticipation, and sometimes, uncertainty. During this transformative time, many women seek additional support to ensure a positive birth experience. Enter birth doulas – compassionate professionals who provide continuous physical, emotional, and informational assistance before, during, and after childbirth. In this blog post, we will delve into what birth doulas are and explore their invaluable role in empowering expectant mothers.
Understanding Birth Doulas:
A birth doula is a trained individual who offers non-medical support to expectant mothers throughout the entire childbirth process. These dedicated individuals are typically experienced in various birthing techniques and possess extensive knowledge of the physiological and emotional aspects of labour and delivery.
Their Role:
1. Emotional Support:
Birth doulas provide unwavering emotional support during pregnancy, labour, and postpartum periods. They assist expectant mothers by actively listening to their concerns, fears, hopes, and dreams surrounding childbirth. By offering empathy and reassurance, these caring professionals help alleviate anxieties while fostering confidence.
2. Continuous Physical Comfort:
Doulas employ an array of comfort measures to ease discomforts associated with labour pains such as massage techniques, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, positioning suggestions, and more. Their presence ensures that the mother's physical needs are addressed consistently throughout the birthing process.
3. Advocacy & Communication:
One significant aspect of a birth doula's role is to act as an advocate for the mother's preferences and desires when communicating with healthcare providers or medical staff. This may include discussing pain management options or ensuring the mother has access to accurate information about procedures being performed.
4. Informational Support:
Birth doulas empower expectant mothers by providing evidence-based information on various aspects of childbirth like different birthing positions or breastfeeding techniques. They ensure that the mother is well-informed, enabling her to make educated decisions regarding her birth plan.
5. Partner Support:
Birth doulas also extend their support to partners or other family members involved in the birthing process. By guiding them on how best to assist and comfort the labouring mother, doulas help create a harmonious environment where everyone feels included and informed.
Benefits of Hiring a Birth Doula:
The advantages of having a birth doula during childbirth are numerous:
1. Increased Satisfaction: Studies have shown that women who receive continuous support from a birth doula report higher levels of satisfaction with their birthing experience.
2. Reduced Interventions: Research indicates that with the presence of a doula, there is often a decrease in interventions like cesarean sections and epidurals, leading to more positive outcomes for both mother and baby.
3. Emotional Well-being: The emotional support provided by birth doulas significantly reduces stress levels for expectant mothers, promoting overall emotional well-being throughout pregnancy and beyond.
4. Lowered Risk of Postpartum Depression: Women supported by birth doulas tend to have lower rates of postpartum depression due to the consistent guidance and nurturing they receive during the vulnerable post-birth period.
Birth doulas play an essential role in ensuring positive experiences for expectant mothers during childbirth. Their unwavering support, knowledge, and advocacy empower women to navigate this transformative journey confidently. By providing physical comfort, emotional reassurance, informational assistance, and acting as an advocate, these dedicated professionals contribute significantly to creating fulfilling and empowering birthing experiences for all involved.
