The doctor is checking whether the Duke's baby is healthy. He is already well advanced in the pregnancy."
Always fantasized on getting a pregnancy ultrasound
It's labor day today! And all these Daddies are experiencing intense hard labor to bring their bundles of joy into the world.
Daddy’s week was off to a rough start. On Saturday morning, he was woken up by a particulary strong contraction that had left him sweating and gasping for air. We both thought he had gone into labor -it was his pregnancy’s 40th week, after all. However, once his muscles relaxed, they stayed like that until the afternoon, when a second contraction hit. We waited, until minutes became hours. They kept coming at irregular intervals, always at least a couple of hours appart. He became restless, not knowing when the next contraction would hit and when the real labor would start. “It wants out.” He moaned at 3 am on Sunday when he was squeezed away from his shallow sleep. I run a hand over his belly, which was amazingly tight. Dad’s boy clearly wanted out, but his body seemed to be taking its time to birth him.
The rest of the day was similar to the day before, and by the time the sun rose on Monday, dad was just miserable. His bulging pregnant belly had barely let him get any sleep, and his whole body was aching because of the strenous work it had been doing for the last 48 hours, along with the fatigue it had been accumulating for the last nine months. I called the doctor and explained the situation. He said there was nothing to worry about. Dad was simply going into labor really slowly, and that it was best for him to stay at home and take it easy until the contractions started happening close together, or until his water broke. He adviced dad to keep his hips lower than the rest of his body so gravity would help him out, hence the strange position he had adopted when I took that photo of him. “I think I can feel him going down.” He told me. It was almost 10 pm now, and three days of very slow labor were taking at toll on him. He looked exhausted. I told him it was better to rest for the night.
“I hope I won’t be pregnant by the end of the night.” He complained as he got into bed. His gut proturding, hanging slightly lower than before. “I can’t take this for much longer.”
something i don't see enough of in kink writing is long, long labors. not in a dangerous way, but think about it--
someone's labor starts one afternoon, and they doze through light surges all that night. two days later things are just starting to pick up, the contractions gradually getting longer and harder as the baby moves down, pressing at their slowly-widening cervix, easing back up after every pain.
it's another full day and a half before they feel the urge to push roll down their spine, the baby's big head slipping bit by bit into their birth canal, their waters a slow drip from their swollen, not yet gaping entrance.
five days in and they're losing their grip on reality. how could they not slowly lose their mind against the overwhelming sensation of being spread open, cunt to womb? their moans have long since gone ragged and they don't know whether it's pleasure or pain they feel, no idea how long they've been doing this, all they know is that their body is pushing, pushing, pushing, swelling and stretching and gaping and dripping. opening up for the immense weight in their hips. the baby's kicks still distend their belly, half-swollen with unbirthed weight.
on the sixth day, the head reaches a full crown, and everyone but the wordlessly heaving birther understands what's taken so long -- the stretch is incredible, impossible, even, pink swollen skin spread so wide it would've surely torn, if it hadn't had nearly a week to adjust. the shoulders are even wider, and they try so hard to push the body out, but the baby has to take its first breaths while still halfway inside. after almost a week of laboring, soaked with sweat and birth fluid, the last set of contractions finally eases the little hips and legs free.
a year later, they're carrying twins this time.
One of my favorite birth fantasy elements is a failed epidural. It leaves a pregnant person who didn't prepare any strategies for coping with labor and delivery to have to face it all really quickly. There's a slow, dawning horror that very very soon they're going to have to endure the painful ordeal they planned for the epidural to spare them. Now they have to come to terms with the fact that they're going to feel everything while lying in a hospital bed with a catheter and strict rules that they can't get up because the drugs are in their system. No squatting or walking to ease the pain. Just slow, agonizing labor on their back that feels like it’s never going to end. So much pressure in their narrow pelvis combined with the exhaustion from a labor they were completely unprepared for that they're screaming for a c-section when the head gets stuck for a long time just inside their opening. Absolutely losing their shit when the crown lasts forever. And just sobbing, overwhelmed to incoherence, when the doctor finally wrenches the shoulders out. Their ravaged genitals are dripping fluid, throbbing, and their last thought before losing consciousness is that they're never doing this without an epidural ever, ever again.
Just thinking about an overdue doctor waddling down the maternity ward, their macrosomic baby hanging lower and lower with each step they takes, their scrubs straining to cover thier impressive bump.
i threw some ocs at this concept but it reminded me so much of jack's first pregnancy and labor... everything is SO NEW at this institute, and he's SO big, and audrey is so nervous...
I got around to finishing this anon request! I’ll never pass on drawing more labor and birthing scenes of my boy (and I have loads more, but I’ll have to stop for times sake. Lol)
Sorry that took a while, but I hope you guys enjoy. ✌️
(Uncensored work is on Twitter .)
Papa's touch ❤️
Another belly rub
Feeling big and round this morning! Come give us some belly rubs!!
Really active baby today!

An Excerpt from, "What to Expect While He’s Expecting: A Definitive Guide to Male Pregnancy"
(This was a fun little submission as I explore the more “out there” aspects of my fetish. I hope you all enjoy.)
Nearing the Big Day
Male pregnancies, regardless of the one’s body type or number of children, tend to last until one’s due date or beyond ones estimated 40 weeks of gestation. Experts generally attribute this to the male body’s unfamiliarity with the birthing process. For while female carriers are naturally built to enter labor at a designated period, which some believe coincides with the maturity of the fetus’s lungs, a male typically does not possess the hormonal receptivity to these indicators. However, males tend to experience similar symptoms to females when approaching childbirth, as indicated below:

Writing About Birth
(from someone who’s been to more than a hundred of them)
1. labor is not nonstop pain from start to finish. It comes in waves. For most of active labor, your character will have a one minute long contraction followed by a 3-5 minute break
2. people very rarely scream their way through labor. labor sounds are typically what you might think of as ‘work’ sounds: moaning, groaning, grunting.
3. birth looks absolutely nothing like it does in tv and movies. nothing.
4. labor starts with water breaking in only about 10 percent of pregnancies. contractions usually come first, and most people’s water doesn’t break until they’re pushing.
5. there are three phases of labor. 1st stage: onset of labor until 10cm dilated, 2nd stage: pushing until baby’s born, 3rd stage: from the birth of the baby to the birth of the placenta.
6. for a first timer (or a ‘primigravida’), labor is on average about 12-16 hours long
7. labor typically starts with weak contractions 10-20 minutes apart from each other, that may not be in a regular pattern. they will grow closer together and stronger until they’re coming every three minutes or so, and then will stay about that time apart right up until the very end.
8. if your character is having an unmedicated birth then they will have a strong spontaneous urge to push. they will not need a room full of doctors and support people shouting ‘push’ at them
9. typically, people most prefer warm, dim, comfortable environments for their birth
10. people feel almost instantaneous relief after birth. although after a few minutes they will start to feel some milder cramping as the placenta is born.
11. before the forties and fifties, hospital births were pretty rare, and most births were attended by midwives or ‘yarb doctors’
12. your character will call their midwife or head to the hospital when they’re having minute long contractions that are regularly five minutes apart.
13. when given the option, most people prefer to labor on all fours, walking, forward leaning, or side lying.
14. people are perfectly capable of walking during labor. once or twice ive even seen a person walking with their baby’s head already hanging out of their bodies. they do not need to be carried everywhere.
15. light bleeding during active labor is not uncommon, nor is it a cause for concern (light = a couple of drops running down the legs)
16. if you want your character to have a true birth emergency, might i recommend a placental abruption or a cord prolapse?
17. tearing is not uncommon, but in the absence of “purple pushing”* it’s not as common as you may believe. there are four degrees of tears. First degree tears are typically left unsutured or given just one of two stitches to hold them together (think: biting the inside of your cheek really hard). Second degree tears almost always require suturing. If your character had an epidural, then this will be done in the immediate postpartum. If they have not, then the midwife or doctor will use a numbing medication, likely lidocaine, to numb the area first. a third or fourth degree tear is more complicated, and involves the rectum. in these cases, a doctor may choose to take your character to an OR for a surgical repair, or they may evaluate the situation and continue with a typical minor surgery repair.
18. people are perfectly capable of eating during labor, although mostly people don’t have huge appetites, and many hospitals have policies preventing this in the case of an emergent caesarian. if someone is having a particularly long labor and their energy is flagging, you might give them tea with honey, juice, or broth to give them a bit of a boost.
19. a simplified overview of the process of labor is that during the first stage, the cervix will dilate from completely closed to a hole 10cm in diameter. during the second stage, the contractions of the uterus put pressure on the baby, moving it down through the open cervix and into the birth canal. this typically happens pretty slowly (especially for a first timer) and it is not unusual for someone to push for an hour or two with their first baby. the third stage follows the birth of the baby, and usually consists of a bit of a break and then some very mild contractions as the placenta is separated from the uterine wall and then is pushed out.
20. ‘crowning’ is not when the head becomes visible, but rather when the widest diameter of the head emerges from the birth canal (just about at the level of the eyebrows)
21. typically a baby is born head first, with its face looking back towards your character’s spine. however, babies can be born feet first or butt first (breech), or have wonky things like a hand next to their head.
22. if you want to give your character an extra painful labor, make their baby ‘sunny side up’, which is when the baby is facing towards your character’s stomach, rather than their spine. this causes lots of back pain that persists even in between contractions.
23. most (although definitely not all) people find it relieves the pain to have someone push very hard on their sacrum during contractions, or to squeeze their hips. Water is also a massive pain reliever during births
24. if your character has an epidural, they will be bed bound, and will not feel much of anything from about the ribs down. this can make things very chill for them. lots of people take naps, watch tv or read, or hang out with their families while in active labor with an epidural
25. even though they might not feel the pain, someone with an epidural will still be working very hard while pushing (think: sweating, grunting, etc.) and will usually feel a lot of pressure as the baby’s born.
26) it is not uncommon for the baby’s cord to be wrapped around its neck. the doctor or midwife will feel around the baby’s neck after the baby’s head is born to see if there’s a cord there, and will quickly pull it over the head to relieve any pressure if there is a wrap.
27) newborn babies are covered in amniotic fluid, vaginal discharge, vernix (a thick natural moisturizer with a cheesy texture), and sometimes blood.
28) newborn babies are adorable, don’t get me wrong, but they also look like little aliens
Okay, there’s a lot of stuff i didn’t include on here, but this post is already getting out of hand. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about birth, or if you’re looking for someone to beta your birth scene, i would be delighted to help!
*purple pushing is the practice of a care provider telling someone to push when they have no urge to. should not be practiced except in cases of a true emergency where the baby needs to be born right this minute, although it is still frequently practiced in many hospitals.
All of this plus:
29) Near the end of labor, somewhere within the 7-10 cm range, is called “transition.” This is the body’s final preparation for stage 2. During this time it is not uncommon for laboring people to vomit. Vomiting can certainly happen earlier because of adrenaline and pain, but it’s almost expected here because the body’s trying to get rid of everything it doesn’t need in order to focus on delivery.
30) The pressure felt during labor is similar to feeling the urge to poop. If the laboring person is in a position that opens the pelvis up (think sitting on an exercise ball or squatting) they’re more likely to feel this sensation.
31) On that note, it is almost guaranteed that a laboring person will poop during the pushing stage, because the muscles used for pushing are the same ones used for pooping. L&D nurses and OB/GYNs have seen this an innumerable number of times and will not comment on it when it happens. They will simply wipe it away.
32) Yes, it’s common for the partners of laboring people to faint during the delivery or during the epidural if they watch what’s happening closely (or if they’re anxious enough to begin with). However, it may or may not happen as quickly as taking one look and then passing out cold. They might look pale, sweaty, or complain of nausea or ringing in the ears first.
33) On that note it’s extremely uncommon for laboring people to faint. Maybe they’ll feel close to it (hypotension [low blood pressure] is an expected side effect of an epidural) but it’s rare that they’ll actually pass out completely. However, it is common for them to faint the first time they stand up to go to the bathroom after delivering because they’ve used up a lot of fluids and energy during the whole process. A nurse or nurse assistant will always accompany the person to the bathroom the first few times to monitor for this.
