(keep me anonymous in case anon breaks please <3)
So I found out recently that for home births sometimes nurses/midwives set down puppy pads to keep all the fluids from getting every where and that's sparked a ton of fantasies for me.
A dogperson whose water breaks, but their owner either didn't know they were pregnant or is neglectful and makes them stay outside and scolds them for "pissing on the floor". Now they're stuck birthing their whole litter outside, without any help.
or alternatively, owner who knows their pup is pregnant and wants to "help", but sets down only one or two puppy pads and tells them not to move off of them because "that's not what good dogs do" and calls them a good boy/girl for staying on them. The dogperson can only give birth in a limited amount of positions and switching to a different one in such a small space is awkward at best and impossible at worst.
doggy howling in birth pain outside in the grass and getting annoyed neighbors snapping at them to shut up because they think they're just a loud annoying dog and don't realize there's a massive pup fighting its way out of them <3
