This is the Pregnancy General, not stillborn and ready to be borne again. We've lately been building up a bundle of regular artists, storytellers, and others again; may this general get quicker and continue quickening.For files and other things we can't discuss in this thread, there's a fraternal twin thread over inside Pregchan, the premiere pregnancy imageboard:https://pregchan.com/f/res/11488.htmlThat thread is the fourth in a series, and here are the prior Pregchan threads, which have been archived here:https://web.archive.org/web/20211104233933/https://pregchan.com/f/res/100.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20220611172822/https://pregchan.com/f/res/14888.htmlhttps://archive.ph/fJYNiA torrent with archived threads can be made, if anyone wants it. Some thumbnails are missing from the last archive, at the end.Because of that drama with Pastebin, here are two archives of our greentexts:https://u.smutty.horse/lxqgizelhjx.ziphttps://u.smutty.horse/lzbpjsjvhjs.zipHere's a list of some artists and writers who use these threads:>SNSPonyhttps://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/38560749/#38668858>GFM_Lewdendorffhttps://ponepaste.org/user/GFM_Lewdendorff>Kassazhttps://www.fimfiction.net/user/464822/Kassaz>pinkSPlease put hyper pregnancy behind spoilers.Here are two questions to stimulate activity while waiting for the birth:How would you help your wife prepare for Hearth's Warming? Would both of you get your unborn foal a gift?Last Thread: >>42647795
Cup Cake is such a cutie. Another name for the thread that crossed my mind before I settled on the holiday name was "Buns in the Oven in all Senses" but that just doesn't have the Hearth's Warming connotation.I've decided what I'm going to write for Flashfic this month, so I'll post it tomorrow, but I've got more than just that planned for this week.
We should keep a list with all of the character specific pregnancy tags on the boorus in the OP for reference.
>>42813521That doesn’t seem like a bad idea, I wonder how often those go unused
>>42813046That’s such a nice picture of Mrs. Cake
>>42813079lol
>>42813521You can get around that by just searching for the character's name and pregnancy together.>>42814234I have another two pieces of artwork by Tauttum to share with you guys later today. I've also just finished up that very short story, so I'll post that in a minute.
>>42814404Ok I lol'd.
Here's the story, with the prompt "The Only Logical Solution":https://www.fimfiction.net/story/526921/27/short-stories-with-pregnant-ponies/the-only-logical-solutionRarity stopped her morning trot. Rainbow Dash lay on a cloud, belly dropped through, with Pinkie Pie’s face spread across it—Pinkie was still painting it. “May I ask what you mares are doing?”Rainbow grinned. “You know how ponies keep staring at me when I fly?”“Yeah, cause you look like a big blue blimp!” Pinkie painted Rainbow’s pregnancy, ignoring her glare.“Well, everypony hates looking at advertisements, so I let Pinkie Pie pay to turn my belly into a billboard so nopony’ll look at it.” Rainbow shivered as Pinkie placed the finishing touches of her features.Pinkie faced Rarity. “It’s legitimate! I paid a whole bit for it!”Derpy flew by. “Hey Pinkie, when’s your party tonight?”“See for yourself!” Derpy flew down closely for reading Rainbow.“Hey! Knock it off!” Rainbow started flying away; Derpy followed.“Get back here, Rainbow Dash! I paid for that ad!” Rarity chuckled.
>>42814710I like it
>>42814710Cute
>>42814595>I have another two pieces of artwork by Tauttum to share with you guys later today.WildeGems publicly posted my reward from last month, and my suggestion for last month's poll which won, today. So, I'll post those instead. Here's the goth Fluttershy, more's in Pregchan.>>42814970>>42815311I'm glad you like it. Yeah, this month's very short story came out particularly cute.
>>42814595When tagged properly, the character specific tags are just a good way to narrow down when you want to find pictures of a specific character pregnant. For example, searching "pregdance" will get you only pictures where Cadance is pregnant, but searching "Cadance, pregnant" will get you any picture that has Cadance with a pregnant Twilight/Chrysalis/Gleaming Shield etc. Plus I just think they're fun. >>42814710Very cute indeed.
>>42815683I can’t say no to more Fluttershy
Pat the horse doo doo doo doo doo doo
>>42815683>and my suggestion for last month's poll which wonHere you are, and here they are.>>42815953>When tagged properly, the character specific tags are just a good way to narrow down when you want to find pictures of a specific character pregnant.Yes, sorry, I referred to the fact that an awful lot of them are poorly used. Many of them don't even imply the character to which they refer. It's a mess trying to use them sometimes.>Plus I just think they're fun.Indeed.
>>42816427They’re both really nice
Here's some minor progress on the Applejack piece from last thread.
>>42816918Looking good
>8
Quick bump before work
Alright, the words are flowing, but for something I won't be able to share with you too soon, a story for the next Fun Size art pack.
>>42818250Might not be my kind of pack but good luck on the story
>9
Remember, November is turkey stuffing month.
This is early pregnancy, and got finished yesterday. The coloured piece for this month will have her at full term.
>>42819393Nice, can't wait to see it
>>42819393Lmao
>>42820393Hah, I'd either not noticed that was public or simply forgotten to share it with you guys. She looks nice, yes, and was my suggestion before I cancelled my subscription with him later on. I'm glad someone found her and shared her there.
>>42820552Yeah I saw it on the booth and had to share it
>>42821138Very nice
Hey, I managed to snag a commission slot with Marrazan. He's only interested in drawing anthro, however, so I've asked him to translate this piece with Rarity, and maybe one of the other two pieces currently published alongside her, Rainbow Dash or Applejack.>>42818529Thanks. Writing's going pretty well, and the next chapter of Tempest Shadow's story will also be done within the week. It'll be a double-length chapter.
>>42822221That’ll be nice to see, looking forward to it
There's a new Bundle Joy piece in Pregchan, and on the alternative boorus, by the by. Mercurial64 did a fine job with her.
>>42822901Looks good, always love to see more horsey designs
>>42822882>>42823469Is 4chan still stopping you from uploading images? If so, that sucks.
>>42823486No I just do quick when I can because I forget often.
Hey, another image of Bundle Joy got finished hours ago. I'll post her here later today.>>42823531Ah, well no worries in any case.
>neighbors' cooking wafts into my apartmentI wish I was pregnant so I could knock on their door and ask for a serving 'cause that smells FANTASTIC.
>>42823964Looking forward to it
>>42823964Here she is. The only intermediate piece is in Pregchan.
>>42825450Looks great
>>42825363lol
>>42826071Nice
>>42827325>>42826883Lovely
GFM come back it’s been like a year
Just a quick bump
I'm just going to dump the rest of the stuff from Tauttum, since I still struggle to release stuff once a day. She did a great job on Queen Chrysalis as I like her.
She also drew another Queen Chrysalis later on, with eggs this time around, emphasis on round here.
Lastly, she accepted my stream suggestion for Adagio Dazzle a few months back. I intended for Adagio to be a human, but she did a fine job here, so I'm certainly not going to complain.
>>42828372>>42828377>>42828378These are great
>>42828819I'm glad you like them. Yeah, Tauttum is really talented. This is everything, no intermediate pieces this time around.So, my writing is still going well. I've got a new method I'm using to good effect. I'll tell you about it later, but the gist is I'm getting more writing done than usual.
>>42828877That’s great
>>42829254>>42829477Cute
>>42828877I’m curious as to what the new method is, but if it’s helpful I certainly can’t complain
The bug is spreading, hahaha. You can find the full quality on the boorus. This is really cute. What do you guys think, are smaller pregnancies cuter when they're in a womb with a view, or do you like the big one's I've been getting more? I'm undecided, but can see myself getting smaller sizes just because I've been getting hyper pregnancy so often.
It's cuter with kicking, as always.>>42830444I used to have highs and lows, where I'd write for several hours straight but go weeks without writing at all. Now I'm trying a new strategy where I focus on writing just one hundred words in an hour when I've got free time; then I take a break, and it's no great loss if I miss an hour. It's very easy to spend a few minutes and get to this goal, or at least a good ways towards it, and this results in nice progress over time when previously I wouldn't have managed to write anything in those times.
>>42830644>>42830651The art’s really nice, I don’t really have a preference for belly size both can be nice.I’m glad you found a method that works for you, can’t wait for the next chapters of those comms.
>>42830790>I’m glad you found a method that works for you, can’t wait for the next chapters of those comms.I'm glad I can entertain you guys. Tempest Shadow will get her next chapter in the next few days. I'm going to try really hard to pick up the pace, but I may be too busy during December with my own stuff to work on any of my commissions again before next year. I'll have to talk it out with them.Fluttershy's story will be fun to continue.
>>42830644I kinda like a middle ground of belly size that's in-between normal and hyper preg. Those changeling and Fluttershy images are around what I like.>Fluttershy's story will be fun to continue.Cant wait for another chapter of that. Any hints on who the dad is next chapter or is it gonna be a surprise for later? I'm betting its Big Mac.
>>42830856>I kinda like a middle ground of belly size that's in-between normal and hyper preg. Those changeling and Fluttershy images are around what I like.Ah, so a big baby, but still just one.>Any hints on who the dad is next chapter or is it gonna be a surprise for later?I should get to that next chapter, yes.>I'm betting its Big Mac.Maybe.^:)
>>42830876>Ah, so a big baby, but still just one.I do like those, but that changeling one you posted is also good. I just meant general belly size.>I should get to that next chapter, yes.Great! We shall see who wins the guess on who the dad is.Anyone else got any guesses on who the dad will be?
>>42830973I’m gonna go with Caramel since Kaz likes using him
Just a quick bump before bed
>>42830973>>42831002Oh yeah, I forgot Kaz likes using him.But I'm betting its Discord, her belly seems to be a bit large for a pony for a dont you think?
>>42832165What a great butt
>>42831729Very cute
Work bump
Do you bring your waifu to Thanksgiving, go to her family's dinner, or do you try to do the rom com thing and go to both while getting caught up in crazy shenanigans in between?
>>42833207I don’t see any reason to leave them out of the festivities
>>42832229Well we’ll just have to wait and see
Late night bump, hope everyone had a good thanksgiving.
>>42833207I go to hers.>>42833821It was alright. I'm going to see about finishing the next chapter of Tempest Shadow's story today, for publishing tomorrow, but it may be the end of the month instead.
>>42834044Well I’m sure it’ll be nice
>>42834044Sounds like a good time
Here's something cute from today. Here's the full quality:https://derpibooru.org/images/3719755I'd like to see more pregnant ponies from this artist sometime.
>>42835364Those are very adorable
>>42835364Agreed. Those are very cute.
>>42835364If only Fluttershy wasn’t covering up so much
Alright, I'm just about ready to release that new chapter. Expect it tomorrow, I guess. The board's really fast right now, page six in half an hour.
>>42836956Nice
>>42836817Cutie
>>42836956Man it is fast today
>>42836956Well at least it’s back to an hour until page 6
>>42838506I had another dream recently where I went into a store and bought a package of cookies made by Bundle from the bakery. They even had her picture on the label.
>>42838792That does sound nice
>>42836956Damn, there are some delays with editing. Early December sounds better, I guess. The chapter's practically done, it's just the details now.
>>42839105It’s all good
>>42839105That’s not a bad wait
baby bump
>>42840739

Someone else has caught the bug: https://derpibooru.org/images/3721057Why contain it?
>>42841920Neat
>>42841636Agreed
The board was really fast, but the sliding may be over, for now.I just learned she's wearing a swimsuit and not a sweater here. That makes it hotter, really.
>>42843089Oh I guess it is a swimsuit, I always thought it was an apron
Fast day today
Here, I'll start to share something with you. This is a strange idea from Marrazan, a schematic for an animation yet to be finished. I'm sure you can tell what's happening in this if you just look. How this relates to something else, you'll have to wait and see.
>>42844847I really like this can’t wait to see it finished
>>42844847*let's get down to business song from the mulan movie plays in the background*
>>42844847Very nice
>>42844847That’s a perfect Fluttershy
>>42844873>>42844879>>42845068>>42845274Well, I've asked Cold Blooded Twilight to make his own version of the idea, and here's what the sketch looks like.
>>42845564Cute
>>42845564Great belly
>>42845901>>42846199Here are the lines so far.
>>42846673Looks really good, love the way CBTwi does bellies
>>42846673Very perky
>>42848021lol
>>42847673This one’s very sweet
Hey, answer a question for me. I missed my original release date for this story, and I'm not certain whether I'll release it on Mother's Day, wait until next Halloween, or something else. What do you think?
>>42849038I think Mother’s Day is fine
>>42849038Agree with Mother's Day. Also, really love that pic.
Just a pick bump while I’m on break
>>42849656And one more before bed
Mrs. Cake is hot.
>>42813046bump
Rarity is also hot.
>>42850952Indeed she is
>>42850143I can’t argue with that
>>42839105I'm just waiting now to drop it now, but the buns are done baking, so to speak. The chapter is now overdue.>>42850143In the meanwhile, I wrote my Flashfic submission early this month, the first one with Mrs. Cake. If only I'd waited to post that artwork this thread, since it would've gone better with this post. The prompt was "Before the Dawn":https://www.fimfiction.net/story/526921/28/short-stories-with-pregnant-ponies/before-the-dawnBakers rose early, to prepare their goods for morning; the Cakes were no different. Cup Cake had eaten food that hadn’t agreed with her beforehoof, but found the two Cakes in her belly to take the cake. Her sleeping husband with her, she lay in bed, bloodshot eyes staring at the wall. She loved her foals, and carrying them on their journey to life, but found every nudge and kick less exciting when all she wanted was rest.-She yawned, nearly dropping the bag of frosting in her mouth. Her knees were locked as she stood at the counter, but she wobbled side-to-side regardless. If only she could lock her neck. She’d recently started counting down the days until she could drink coffee again.-Carrot Cake looked over to see her sleeping, head on the counter. He gently nuzzled her, kissed her cheek, and took the bag from her mouth.
>>42851822Cute
Well glad that’s over with, just in time to boost the thread
I'm not going to post it here, since it's hyper and has big boobies, but you can find new work by Whiterabbit95 in Pregchan, or the boorus.>>42839105Alright, I'm going to proofread today and publish tomorrow.>>42852140I wonder what the issue was. This site is so shoddy.
>>42852148It wasn’t 4chan for a change Cloudflare was down so everything using it went down.
>>42852453This is a good one for sure
>>42852774Yeah, all of them are nice. This one rarely gets reposted.
>>42853536So cute
>>42854314Poor Derpy
>>42852148Well that Celestia and Luna turned out pretty good
Alright, my next post will be the next chapter of Tempest Shadow's story, unless I have to make an emergency bump or something.
This is now the longest chapter:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/574592/7/short-stories-about-fizzle-before-she-pops/exercises-and-surprises-shocking-and-soreExercises and Surprises, Shocking and SoreTempest relaxed on her couch reading a book and, for some reason, her mind wandered to a few weeks in the past.---Entering the gym and watching the other ponies was a reminder of everything she could once do effortlessly, and everything she couldn’t do at all in the present. Tempest compared some of the acrobatics she was seeing in the back not with her memories of more impressive feats from years of training and battle, but with the much more recent memory of waddling past the double doors into the building, and a stallion had held the door open for her too.She was determined to maintain her hard-won physique. She’d never set hoof in the gym until this day, but it seemed like the best place to start.Tempest knew stretching before all else would be prudent, and walked to a quiet area of the room. There were padded mats for ponies to use, but she didn’t need such a luxury. She knelt next to the mat, foreleg-by-foreleg, after discreetly looking behind herself to avoid jutting her rear out towards anypony. Already, Tempest felt some muscles start to get some much-needed use, and decided to stretch out her right hindleg before letting it fold up against her body, followed by the left. She felt silly for stretching so awkwardly, with her rear in the air at that; she chided herself for not flexing her legs before kneeling, and carried on. She flopped onto her right side to stretch her left legs, noticing how hard and cold the stone floor was. The mat was in her peripheral vision, she was not quite touching it. Before she could start stretching her legs in earnest, she felt her son stretching his legs in her, and took a moment to watch the shifting bulge. “Good morning, little stallion.” Tempest had already joked to him about “sleeping in” so many times she’d lost count. She didn’t like what she said next, but said it anyway looking at him with a smile. “You’re right, a mare in my shape should use a mat.”She certainly wasn’t going to stand again until she finished her warmup, and learned it was harder to drag herself along the floor and on top of a mat with another pony inside her, but she managed to get herself hanging off the edge a little with a bounce and some jiggling afterwards, for which he didn’t care at all. “It was your idea.”
The mat was soft, and warmed from her body’s heat much more quickly than stone. She saw no reason to stretch only one leg at a time, and so held both in the air, moved both in little circles, flexed them at once, touched their hooves together, and made a disappointed note at how little of this she could do before beginning to feel it. When it was time for her right legs she pushed herself onto her back, taking the opportunity to wiggle onto the mat a bit better, and flopped onto her other side. Again, he made his displeasure with her movement known, and this time Tempest touched her forehoof to the little shape he made poking out from her. “Yes, just like that. Don’t tire yourself out, we’ve got an entire workout ahead of us.”Once her right legs ran through the same routine, Tempest wondered what should come next. It occurred to her that she couldn’t remember being so out of shape, and the shape of her barrel reminded her that she didn’t even know an appropriate exercise routine for expecting dams, if there were one. She fiddled with her lip while she thought; regardless of what she did next, getting up from the mat was a good start. What little soreness she could feel in her legs had largely left her while she had been deciding this, and she awkwardly began to prop herself up with a foreleg.Pride nearly compelled her to try rocking herself into an upright sitting position, but imagining herself doing so dissuaded her. He also wouldn’t like getting squeezed from all sides, and would be sure to let her know. She swung herself onto her legs and got her hoofing leg-by-leg.Now the question was what to do next. She looked at one corner of the gym and slowly scanned to the other. It needed to be something simple that would help her keep muscle. She saw a pegasus strapped into a machine where her flying lifted weights. Tempest quickly overlooked the weights set aside for unicorns, and settled her sights on a machine for Earth ponies. There weren’t any other ponies in that part of the gym either.
It crossed her mind to adjust the weights, but she didn’t want a sore jaw, so she used what was already slotted in. The mechanism was simple: She would kick a target to lift the weights and then see how far they went. She aligned her hindquarters and bucked with all her might, or had planned to do so. She hadn’t bucked anything in months, and found she needed significantly more *lift* than she’d expected, only awkwardly bouncing herself with a leg extended the first time. She figured kicking with one leg would be a good way to start anyway, aligned her hindleg, practiced the action slowly, and kicked it as hard as she could. She ignored her jiggling body and his movement as she walked over to read the measurement, pursing her lips at its disappointing magnitude. Her belly *had* been in the way, preventing her from bringing her leg quite as far in as she wanted, she thought to be the reason. Bucking would be more impressive. She knew she could still do it, and was determined to prove it to herself, getting back into position. Tempest took a deep breath, hopped with just her hindlegs, and loudly struck the target. Afterwards, with a grin that became a frown, she realized herself to be stuck like that. Her tightened belly swung slowly side-to-side, and she winced at feeling him seemingly imitating her actions.With another deep breath, she pushed against the machine to hop down. He didn’t care for that either, but she was once again smiling at the machine, and once again frowning at the disappointing result. Measures of strength were good, but she needed something that would strengthen her legs with less jostling. She noticed a section of the gym dedicated to that, with inflated balls.-Tempest had never used an exercise ball beforehoof, but she’d never been pregnant beforehoof either she reminded herself. She found it pretty obvious how to use the ball and turned around to get it caught underneath her rear, making certain to lift her tail up and out of the way, until her belly started to push it away again; in an awkward, not-quite-kneeling pose, she pushed with her forelegs to get her forebody balancing above the exercise ball, and let her tail drape over the rest. She felt the workout immediately while struggling to keep herself from sprawling on the floor. It felt like every muscle in her barrel was tight, and her hindlegs were shaking as she tried to stay still as she could. It felt like a rearing exercise—but without the stress on her forelegs, which were curled at her chest—and the strain in her was in different parts of her hindlegs and flank; she closed her eyes to help herself relax as she took a deep breath. She opened them again as she exhaled slowly.
Her heart raced as she felt a pop somewhere inside her middle. Before she could decide what to do, she felt another, a little stronger, in a nearby spot to the first. Now she was trying even harder to remain still, fearful that even trying to stand up and see what was the matter would do *something* wrong, would hurt her foal somehow, but her left hoof slipped and she struggled for a few moments to situate herself on top of the ball again regardless. She felt another pop, this one deeper, which seemingly shocked her back and travelled through her spine; her tail spasmed a little, and she could feel a spark or two shoot out of her horn, what was left of it. That latest pop made Tempest realize what was happening, and she needed only a moment more to remember what she’d read about carrying unicorn foals. The pop hadn’t merely felt shocking, but was a shock, straight from his little developing horn. Taking a deep breath and then sighing, she placed a hoof on her barrel and spoke to him once again. “You scared your poor mother for a moment, you know.” It wouldn’t be long and he’d maybe be able to send a weak telekinetic spell a small ways outside her body. Relief on her face gave way to absolute joy at his healthy horn, and she smiled even as her choice of words sounded upset. “You could stand to be more considerate in there.”She was still smiling as she continued with her exercise, figuring the especially cramped conditions she’d just imposed on him spurred the outburst. Her books had told her about prenatal magic, that unicorn foals may try to cast magic in the womb, and her mind went to a memory of a similar but weaker outburst that she hadn’t recognized as such. Tempest started poring through her memories of the last few weeks, wondering if she’d perhaps made a note in her journal about anything similar, all while maintaining her balance; distractedly leaning backwards a little too much was an easy mistake to correct, until realizing her tail had been caught underneath the ball earlier and would prevent her from leaning forward enough to compensate. Tempest found a use for her forelegs while slowly sliding backwards: they flailed in front of her. Had she not panicked, were she a little more lithe, if she could’ve cast a spell to provide some leverage, Tempest would’ve been able to recover, but instead her back bent around her pregnancy awkwardly while her rear continued approaching the ground. She yelped.
One of the nearby stallions had run over and caught her back with his head, slowly pushing her back upright and waiting to see if she needed further help. Tempest leaned forward and let gravity free her from the ball the right way around, landing her forehooves on the floor and trying not to let her hindlegs shake quite as much as they wanted. “Are you alright, ma’am?” Tempest was glad her purple coat helped to mask her blushing; she couldn’t recall anypony ever calling her “ma’am” in her life, nor helping her like this.“I-I’m fine, t-thank you very much for stopping my foal—fall, my fall.” Tempest was sore, in her butt and her pride.-After that, she visited the watering trough and then lay on the cold stone floor with a long sigh and then a yawn. She didn’t want to move as she felt the aches set in through her body, but soon lifted her head at a more familiar soreness. She was pretty sure she saw a leg sticking out from her side, certain after she watched it quickly shift from one side of her belly to the other before receding, but leaving her looking a little lopsided. He looked like he was getting his own workout *in*. She weakly rubbed a hoof over him and hummed, but winced at a kick she couldn’t see but certainly felt. She made the educated guess that he wouldn’t calm down anytime soon and eventually set her head back down.“Kicking a mare when she’s down is *low*, but I guess I’ve not had a chance to teach you that yet.” She resigned herself to lying still on the floor while he did the opposite. At least she wouldn’t fall asleep in the gym.
>>42855279Oh wow that is a big one, good stuff
>>42855279Good stuff
>>42855586What a smug mare
>>42856344She finally got pregnant. She has reason to be smug.
>>42856618Understandable
>>42858180Neat
>>42857694Always a nice Maud to see
Hey, Bundle Joy's reference sheet is finished, courtesy of Aer0 Zer0-Ri2k. Her basic body type is based vaguely on Mrs. Cake’s. As far as minor details go, the Venus symbol with the Mars and Venus symbols inside is my favourite little bit, which I suggested as I watched him draw the Venus symbol alone.Isn’t she a cutie? You may find the full, uncensored version in Pregchan or on the boorus, but I had him arrange her different views so that I could crop out her rear view easily enough.
>>42858944She looks great
Pinkie Pie would certainly announce her foal activity to everypony in the vicinity.>>42858958I'm glad you like her.
>>42855268Surprise, this chapter ballooned so much that it was split in twain. This is, again, now the longest chapter:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/574592/8/short-stories-about-fizzle-before-she-pops/surprises-and-shocks-heartfelt-and-kindSurprises and Shocks, Heartfelt and KindTempest’s mind returned from the gym—she wondered why it had gone there—and she took a look at the cover of the book she was reading, which told her why. Now her mind once again wandered, to just after that gym visit.---Every step Tempest took was slow, and emphasized the weight swinging underneath her like a pendulum. Her head was warm and fuzzy, causing her to yawn. She didn’t notice Pinkie Pie until she could feel the weight of yet another pony on her body, and turned her head to see Pinkie leaning across her back, with her forehooves resting on her rump; she turned her head to the other side to see Pinkie’s grinning face, oblivious to Tempest’s shaking legs. “Heya Tempest, how’re ya doin’?”“I’d be doing better if you’d get off.” Tempest said it in a tired way, sighing when Pinkie yelled out a “whoops” and stepped down.Pinkie walked around to keep herself in Tempest’s sight and sat down, placing her forehooves and an ear against her barrel. “And how are you doing, little Tempest junior? Little Fizzy Pop?” Tempest wasn’t upset, but smiled anyway when Pinkie caught a kick to her cheek. The smile went away when her stomach growled. “Aha, my Pinkie sense told me there was a hungry pony walking by. Fortunately,” Pinkie grabbed a paper bag she’d apparently had sitting underneath Tempest Shadow since she’d started the conversation, “I brought you a snack!” The smile returned.“Thank you, Pinkie.” Pinkie opened the bag and held it outwards to spare Tempest the need to sit down; she gingerly put her muzzle inside to grab the pastry in her mouth, and kept it at her mouth as she took a bite by holding it with the front-facing end of her right foreleg, the front of her right pastern. She hummed to let Pinkie know she liked it.
“Yeah, I thought you’d like a bear claw. They were the freshest thing in the counter today.” This was a bear claw Tempest didn’t mind, and she tried to focus on its flavour rather than its name. This wasn’t difficult, and Tempest sucked away and licked the remaining icing on her pastern for a moment before thanking Pinkie Pie, who sat her ear back against Tempest’s belly before speaking again. “What’s that little foal? You’re still hungry in there?” Pinkie started humming and nodding in affirmation, as if he were replying to her somehow. “Good thinking. Yeah, get all those sweets in while you’re not the pony paying for ’em, and who doesn’t love a chubby foal anyway?” Tempest watched another round of mock conversation before Pinkie got to her point, with mock uncertainty coating her voice like the icing on the bear claw. “I don’t know if she wants to come to the party or not, but I can ask her for you. Hey, Tempest, I’ve got a ton more sweets back at Sugarcube Corner, and maybe some other stuff for you, if you’re keen.” Pinkie’s only movement was to make her biggest smile at Tempest.“I appreciate it, Pinkie Pie, I do, but I’m not certain I really deserve one. I’m still fairly new here.” Tempest looked away and somehow started to drag Pinkie Pie across the dirt road effortlessly as she continued walking, which only made her look back at Pinkie.“Aw, nopony thinks you’re a meanie anymore, Tempest.” Tempest broke eye contact again, with her smallest frown aimed at the floor. “Besides, meeting ponies at a certified Pinkie Pie pregnant pony party is a great way to make new friends!” Tempest figured that meant a foal shower, and realized she should’ve expected Pinkie would throw one for her. “Besides a second time, I’ve already got ponies waiting for us.” Pinkie could be so persuasive when it came to parties, but Pinkie laid it on ever thicker before she could respond. “Could you do it for him if you can’t do it for yourself?” Pinkie had a quivering bottom lip now.Tempest sighed. “You’ve already convinced me Pinkie Pie, no need to keep on.” Tempest smiled. “Thank you for the party, and for being my friend.”Pinkie grinned again and hugged Tempest, which meant grabbing her belly as well as she could get her hooves around it for a few moments, before leaping into the air and hopping to Sugarcube Corner in the lead. Tempest smirked at Pinkie taking unusually long breaks between her movements to allow her to keep pace, but managed not to giggle. It was a short walk.Tempest hesitated a moment more at the swinging doors of the shop, but Pinkie didn’t even need to shove her inside—Tempest could tell it was crossing her mind, given she’d let Tempest take the lead just beforehoof. There was no yelling of “surprise” to greet her, but instead just a few boothfuls of ponies waving at her, and wrapped presents on a nearby table.
“Ooooh, ooh! Let me share my present first!” Pinkie bolted off to another room, leaving a cloud of sweet dust where she’d stood while Fluttershy showed Tempest to her seat at the other table closest to everything. Pinkie returned to the room as Tempest was sitting down. “Now you’ll want to take a seat, Tempest—oh good, you already have! Tada!” Seltzer Spritz and Lemon Twist, Tempest Shadow’s father and mother, were behind Pinkie Pie; they hadn’t seen each other since she was a filly. Tempest’s heart jumped into her throat, and she stared at them wide-eyed while they looked at her the same way. She squirmed in her seat and looked away, unable to leap out of it and run even if she wanted it, but she didn’t think she wanted it. Before she knew it, they’d embraced her on both sides.“It’s okay, Fizzle, you don’t have to tell us what happened.” Tempest wasn’t certain she could ever tell them what she’d done. “We’re just so glad you’re okay.” It had been so long since she’d heard them speak, she could only tell her father was talking because of his masculine voice. Tempest really didn’t want to cry in front of her parents and everypony at her foal shower, but she did.The first words she spoke afterwards were addressed not to her parents, but Pinkie Pie. “Pinkie... how?”Now Tempest was getting hugged by three ponies. “It was a lot of work! Twilight estimated how old you were, and we went through all of the library’s archive of old newspapers from all over Equestria until we found the story! We even had to have archives delivered! From there it was easy peasy.” Tempest hadn’t known that her once-local newspaper had even covered the story, not that she’d read newspapers at that age.Tempest started wiping her eyes on her leg. “I-I never expected anypony made a note of it.”Now it was her mother who spoke. “We thought of you every day, Fizzie.” The heartache in her mother’s voice mixed with hearing her fillyhood nickname again renewed Tempest’s tears. “I’m afraid to let you go, we don’t want to lose you again.”“Well if you don’t let her go, how’s she supposed to open her other gifts?” Tempest couldn’t tell if Pinkie were serious or playful, but it got a chuckle out of her all the same.-Tempest felt overwhelmed by emotions for the first time she could remember. A sniffle, a smile, and a thanks accompanied each gift put in her lap for her to unwrap. Some were for her foal, like a stuffed ursa minor doll and the cutest little pajamas she’d ever seen, and others were for her, such as a body pillow and parenting books. Tempest noticed many of the pass-me-down items she received seemed to be older than she was, and already she began thinking of the day she would be giving them away to somepony else in the village who needed them, in her village.
Once most of the presents were opened, Applejack walked to Tempest and gave her a hug, standing at her side while keeping a leg over her back. “Now Tempest, I don’t want ya to think I didn’t bring ya anything, but it’s heavy. If ya still need a crib, it’s yours; we’ve had one in one of the barns for years now, so it’ll probably need a little dusting for spiderwebs and whatnot, but I can have Big McIntosh drop it off at your place by tomorrow.”Tempest had been waiting for Applejack to finish talking before hugging her back, and hugged her even harder than planned, pulling back before she responded. “Why, thank you very much, Applejack. But, I can probably bring it home myself.”Applejack sputtered and laughed. “Not with that belly you’re not.” She pointed with her free leg for emphasis before laughing a little more. “It’s no trouble, honest. Why, one of these days, I’ll have to tell you my story about trying to do everything by myself.”“Ooooooh, oooooh, I have another gift I almost forgot about!” Pinkie Pie reappeared underneath Tempest’s chair and passed another wrapped box to her. “Twilight was too busy working on an assignment from Princess Celestia to come, but she suggested another gift too, and I helped, so it’s like we both got you two halves of a gift.”Tempest opened the box to find what looked like a pair of big black earmuffs, and couldn’t keep confusion out of her voice. “Oh, earmuffs? Thank you again, Pinkie Pie.”“No, silly filly, Twilight said they’re “magical dampeners” and you put them around your belly if your little foal starts casting magic in there.” Pinkie accentuated those instructions by sticking out her tongue and seemingly using her hoof to feel around for their optimal placement position, which Tempest barely noticed as she looked at them.“Oh, I may need to start using these soon. He was making a fuss at the gym earlier, it spooked me pretty badly at first.” Tempest said this absentmindedly as she almost started dividing the cups to try them on, but was distracted moreso by yet another pony putting her hooves around her.It was Lemon Twist. “You shouldn’t be at the gym in your state, Fizzie.” Tempest let her mother cradle her head in her hooves, trying to recall the alien feeling from so long ago. “Walks are much better for a mare at your term.” Before she could continue, Pinkie Pie interrupted.“Oh, is he already casting spells? Is he making little pops in there? I want to feel, I want to feel!” Pinkie contorted herself into a position that got her ear against Tempest’s navel. “C’mon, little colt, do your worst.” Shockingly, Tempest felt another pop that sent a shiver down her back, and travelled from her to both her mother and Pinkie Pie, with the latter of the pair falling over herself onto the floor in a giggling mess.
-The party was over, and Tempest was almost wistful. Pinkie Pie had several of the gifts somehow balancing on her back. “Pinkie, you don’t have to help. I can take them home myself.”Pinkie shut up Tempest with a hoof to the mouth, something equine to which Tempest had yet to grow accustomed. “No sirree, missie! You’ve got enough to carry.” Pinkie snorted at her own joke yet again.Tempest spit out Pinkie’s hoof and let her tongue hang out for a moment. At least Pinkie’s hoof was sweet rather than sweaty. After swallowing a few times, Tempest realized she had a question. “Hey Pinkie, if you were worried I wouldn’t come, why didn’t you make it a surprise party?”“I don’t make foal showers surprise parties anymore. You spook a new mommy too much and her water breaks.” Tempest laughed at the joke, and Pinkie kept the same serious look on her face.With the gifts sorted out on Pinkie’s back hopping into the distance, Tempest took a walk with her family. Ponyville’s train station was quiet at night. They had to return to Gaskin Grove, her home village. They made her promise not to leave Ponyville. They made their own promise to return as often as possible. They hugged again as the train left, and this time Tempest only had tears in her eyes.
>>42860151Cool to see more of it, that really was a big one
>>42859868Always nice to see Eris
>>42858944Nice, and very cute idea to put symbols for the foals in the Venus symbol.
>>42860941Yeah it’s real cute
Bumping before I go to sleep
>>42860330I'm glad you liked it. Now I've got the month to see if I can finish some stuff before 2026.
>>42861780Can’t wait to see what you’ve got coming
>>42862050Thank you. I'll try not to disappoint.

>>42855586>>42856618Who would the father be? I'm not going with Mac because he's with Sugar Belle and herdshit is lame.
I don't want to reveal exactly what I'm writing right now, but I just counted and this is our thirteenth thread this year.>>42863177The very concept of Sugar Belle is lame. Anyway, Cheerilee can be knocked up by Caramel, Thunderlane, or one of her students for three fathers off the top of my head.
>>42863678Oh well I’m sure it’ll be fun
>>42863163Jargon draws some great pregnant mares
>>42864161I'll try my best. I've already made good progress today after taking a break for the past few days.>>42864263Indeed.
>>42864677Can only hope he does more eventually
>>42865106I should pay him to draw Mrs. Cake sometime, yeah.
Up off 9
>>42865572I think he’d do a good job with her
I've made the next Pregchan thread: https://pregchan.com/f/res/16922.htmlI even got it timed where the archives point to the next thread.I don't think the archives have all of the thumbnails, so I'm also making my own backup.Let's celebrate with Derpy's dangerous derriere. WildeGems just finished her, and this is after I asked him to make her belly smaller. We can say she's tilted towards the viewer in a way that makes her look huge, I suppose. I'll christen the new thread with her behind in a few more minutes.
>>42865987Very nice Derpy, though it definitely has me curious about the before pic
>>42865987Very cute stuff
>>42866643Well she looks like she enjoyed that
I may be able to update her story before the year's up.
>>42866861That’s awesome to hear
>>42866861Very nice
Just a bit of a lift before work
Your wife is having mood swings again. How do you calm her down?
>>42868296Give her some pizza and that will surely calm her down
>>42868296I think belly rubs would work. I'd definitely try those first if she'd let me.
>>42868493Would be nice
>>42868493>>42868817Indeed. I'm glad I could finally find that image of Anonymous rubbing Bundle Joy's belly for this. There's surprisingly little artwork of belly rubbing like this.
I've got an Adagio Dazzle to share with you guys later today.
>>42869661Here you are. I snagged a top spot in MetalForever's Patreon for this month. He wasn't interested in drawing ponies again, but human characters are fine, so here's Adagio Dazzle sleeping in the nude. I wanted her to be a bit smaller, but she's not unrealistically pregnant here, so it works out I guess.Human Rarity taking a shower is also finished in Pregchan now.
>>42870999They both ended up looking pretty good, the sketches had me thinking the Rarity pic was Chrysalis
Living the life.

This spam, and Rarity's natural motherly beauty, are both unbelievable.
>>42872406the only thing more unbelievable is how lazy the moderation team is
>>42872413Wait I’m at work what am I missing
>>42872486Every thread that didn't get bumped in, say, a 90 minute window fell off from spam.
>>42872492Jesus
Well hopefully shit stays calm overnight
