Would I be able to request Thrawn x pregnant reader? Where Thrawn realizes she’s pregnant before the reader does and gets very protective, but the reader does not understand why, and they end up in an argument but Thrawn wants her to discover the pregnancy herself. I’m not sure how you’d go about that but I know you’re a really good writer so I’d love to see you write that imagine if that makes sense.

Future dad Thrawn, protective Thrawn, jealous Thrawn protecting his pregnant wife... A dream come true really.

Thrawn x F!reader

It just started like any other month, but both of your fates transcended that day.  

“Maker fricking... Gosh!” He hears you curse through the bathroom wall. 

“Is there a problem, Ch’acah? Do you need assistance?” He rises from the sofa to knock at the door. 

You open the door visibly tired.  

“It’s just... My period stopped again but the cramps are here once again!” You sigh visibly at the end of your life. 

Nothing out of the ordinary. Your periods have always been unpredictable since he knew you thanks to PCOS. You could not have them for several months straight and then bleed for almost an entire month. Or they could just come back normal for a period to completely derail once again, just to taunt you. But no matter what, the cramps always come back with a vengeance. 

He could only stand as a witness of your distress and help in the little ways he can. 

“I am terribly sorry, ch’eo Ch’acah. What can I do to help?” 

You sighed again, lowering your shoulders, terribly irritated. 

“I want to nap for an entire month.” 

He smiles, empathetic. He remembers back in the Ascendancy, he was the go-to guy to ask to buy period products in his social circle when no girls around could do it. He never saw it as weird or even humiliating to go to the counter with a tampon box in hand, his friends needed his help and who was he to refuse to extend his hand? He got a lot of weird looks when he entered the pharmacy in his neat Naporar uniform only to go straight to the women’s health section. Ziara forgot her period was supposed to start and he never saw her so... distraught, so on edge and on the verge of tears. He offered her his jacket to wrap around her hips to hide any stains and headed to the store immediately. 

Since that day he always carried a pad in his bag in case of emergency for his friends and female classmates. 

And it came in use more than one time! 

His behavior didn’t change when he started dating you, if anything it came in handy a lot. Always checking if you had a box of menstrual protection in advance without you even asking him, remembering you to sterilize your cup regularly when you wanted to try it, changing numerous sheets you bleed on during the night, hand washing the blood stains on your pajamas that the washer didn’t get. 

He also makes sure you have painkillers at arm’s reach at any time, he will prepare as many hot water bottles as you need while you lay in bed, in pain and uncomfortable, and he will massage your back or rub your lower belly delicately each time you ask, applying gentle pressures strategically. 

He knows an orgasm can greatly reduce periods cramps and will gladly give you one to help relieve you by gently massaging your clit until you are a shaking mess in his hands or a cunnilingus, his favorite method, whether you are bleeding or not. He is not afraid of a bit of blood on his tongue and will eat you out longly until you come hard in his mouth and finally relax as your orgasm eases your painful muscles. 

But if you only want a cuddle he will join you in bed and hold you tight, as the big spoon, caressing your tummy softly. 

That’s no big deal, that’s just what being a good husband is. 

“I understand your distress, Ch’acah. But maybe a month’s nap is unrealistic.”  

You purse your lips, going to sit on the bed. 

“Not only that but I’m super smelly and I hate that.” You grouse. 

He tilts his head. 

“What do you mean? You always smell lovely.” 

“You wish. I already took a shower this morning and I need to take one again, I think my hormones are fucking me up today. I feel so dirty.”  

“Your hygiene is impeccable.” 

“Judge for yourself if you don’t believe me!” You start losing patience, too in pain to be rational. 

He gently approaches to take your hand and smells your wrist. 

He takes a sniff. 

And froze. 

“See?” You respond “I’m dirty, I’m sweaty and miserable!” 

He doesn’t listen, his brain is too focused on trying to rationalize what he is smelling at this very second. He remains still, one knee to the ground, your hand in his, his nose above your delicate wrist and his eyes slowly blinking in the realization of what he is smelling. 

Is it possible? After so many tries, after so many failed attempts and heartbreaking clinical news, could you truly be...? 

He switfly turns his head to you, a breath caught in his throat. You round your eyes in surprise. 

“Wow okay... No need to look so shocked, I know I smell, I’ll take a shower.” 

You do not understand, not yet. 

You hate that odor but to him this is the most delectable one he ever got to smell. 

He slightly rises to push your hair out of the way to bury is face in your neck. 

He has to be sure... 

He deeply inhales with his red eyes closed. 

Oh that delicious smell... 

His heart contracts painfully as he feels waves of dark energy in his veins, propelling him forward, and forcing you to lay on the mattress under his weight. You yelp in surprise as he grabs a fistful of your hair and hugs you painfully tight. 

“Thrawn? What the-” 

He brushes his nose against the skin of your neck, reveling in this new scent, full of wonders and promises. 

After all those years, are you finally pregnant? Full with his baby, your little one to the both of you? Are you going to make him a father? 

His reason urges him to the be rationnal and level headed but his Chiss instincts are waking up with a vengeance of being asleep for so long! 

A baby! 

A miracle! 

He cannot fight the urge to lick your neck from shoulder to jaw, he wants to taste that smell, to taste this victory against destiny itself. 

So many doctors and medics warned your couple. You had fertility problems and you are from two different species, and while you never said it out loud you kind of stopped hoping for a baby after several years of unfruitful tries. You simply resigned yourself. 

He couldn’t hold it against you. You knew your body and you knew the odds. 

He never stopped hoping, he simply kept it low to not upset you, the subject getting sensitive for you. 

But today, 

Today you are pregnant! Today you cheated fate! 

He feels the thrills flowing in his veins, pushing him to claim you as his, leaving his odor on you to deter any rivals. He almost digs his nails in your flesh to keep you close to him. 

He mentally slaps himself, getting back control over that brutal urge, he recover is usual sterness and gently kisses your cheek. 

You look at him suspicsiously, what got over him? 

“As I said, you smell lovely.” He smiled lightly. 

 “What kind of reaction was that?” You ask gauging him up and down. 

“My apologies, Chiss are more sensible to odors and scents than humans.” 

“... And you like mine when I’m sweaty and dirty?” You ask more and more incredulous. 

“You are not dirty, my love.” He brushes his nose with yours, holding your face between his two hands, “And for the record, I love your smell no matter what, I can learn so many things about you with it, like where you are in your cycle, or if you’re off of it...” He tries to hint at it. 

“Hugh, don’t tell me about it.” 

You do not understand. 

It is all right. You are really early in the pregnancy, you have all the time to discover it. 

In fact he wont say a thing, leaving you the surprise. He will even lie and pretend he didn’t knew when you will reveal to him the news, triumphant, that you succeeded against all odds. 

That will be your victory and he will celebrate you for it. 

He can even celebrate you tonight without you knowing! 

“In fact I love it so much I want to devour you right now.” He purrs lowly, waving his hips against yours, brushing his loins between your open legs. 

“Oh Thrawn...” You wince, “I can’t do it with you tonight, I’m too uncomfortable, I’m sorry I-” 

“Oh no, no, no, no, Ch’acah.” He reassures you, “You lay back and relax, let me do the work. I will take great care of you.” 

He knows you can’t do penetrative sex in this state, he will eat you out all night long instead. He is drooling just thinking about it. 

Oh, he’s gonna take such good care of you sweetheart, let him work his magic on you and enjoy yourself! You deserve so many orgasms for your marvelous present to him, he feels motivated to break his personal record. 

He will stop only when you will be crying from overstimulation...

“Did you take weight?” Xoxtin asks out of the blue while loudly munching on her dish. 

You raise a warning glance at her. From the corner of your eyes, you see Karin tensing up and Lark’s bite almost takes a wrong turn. 

“I am saying that for you, you should hit the gym more often.” she continues, inconsiderate. 

You roll your eyes with a sigh, who accepted her at the table again?  

“How do you expect to find a man if you let yourself go like that?” She insists. 

“Did he ever crossed your mind that I was not searching for a man maybe?” You falsely smile at her. 

You indeed gained some weight recently, but it always fluctuates with your condition. What’s more bothering you lately is the sickness you have at different time of the day for two weeks now.  

Thrawn is also weirdly... on edge recently? Hard to describe but he is a lot more tactile, hugging just a bit too tight to be comfortable, like he was trying to melt your bodies into one, he seems to try to hold you back when you release his hand, and he seems constantly looming behind your back. You could swear you heard him growl at a colleague talking to you yesterday! 

And as romantic as it might sound you both agreed to keep your marriage a secret and he really isn’t making any effort to be subtle lately. 

Xoxtin purses her lips in disaproval. 

“It’s going to come bite you in the neck if you’re not careful” 

“I have PCOS. I gain and lose weight at the goodwill of my uterus. That’s kinda outside of my control.” 

“I’m saying that for you.” She speaks with her mouth full. 

“Oh come on,” Lark slides into the conversation uninvited, “With or without those new pounds she would still have that pretty face to make heads spin.”  

He suddenly wraps his arm around your shoulder to press you against his body. You’re so taken aback you don’t stop him, do not even tell him to release you. He grabs your chin with his other hand . 

“Look at her! She is adorable.” And he just kisses your cheek. 

You are just about to flick him off when he’s literally ripped out of you violently, making you jump away in fear and surprise.  

“What the...?!” 

You discover Thrawn, looming over Lark, on the ground. His hands are clasped behind his back as usual but he looks at him with daggers, his eyes shine brighter proof of an inner turmoil or intense emotion. He is visibly tense, more than you ever saw him. Lark looks up at him, confused like he doesn’t understand it is Thrawn who just threw him across the floor like trash. 

“Gr-Grand Admiral Thrawn?” He bablbutiates. 

“You will not lay your hands on her again. Am I clear?” Thrawn enunciates slowly, is tone deadly cold. 

You can hear him spit the words between his gritted teeth. 

“It.. It was nothing, just a little peck, I-” 

“Never.Again.Am.I.Clear?” Thrawn repeats deadly. 

“Grand Admiral Thrawn!” You interject, “It’s all right, it was nothing, he was joking.” 

He spins to you and his gaze shocks you to your core. 

He is beyond pissed off. 

He is properly enraged. 

“This was not all right. This was not nothing.” He counters in a calm tone that sends shivers down your spine, “I cannot let such behaviors fly. This is unjustifiable.”  

Okay, Lars trespassed your boundaries but in the end, it was just a kiss on the cheek, Karyn kisses your cheek all the time and Thrawns looks ready to demolish him to blood. He never reacted like that before. 

The fuck was that? 

“I will take him to have a word in my office, Grand Admiral. Do not worry.” Karyn intervenes, standing up she helps Lark to stand up and walk away with him. 

Thrawn keeps looking at you, still and mute while the rest of the mess hall still wonders how to react to that act, silently observing their Grand Admiral they seem ready to flee and scatter at any sound. 

They finally look back at their plates in submission but you remain standing, looking at Thrawn with incomprehension. He grabs your hand and pulls you in the corridor of the Chimaera. 

“Thrawn, what the fuck?!” You complain. 

“I do not want you to eat at the mess hall anymore. You will take your meals in my suite from now on.” He doesn't even look at you saying that, he just keeps walking straight ahead, pulling you behind him. 

“Why would I do that?” You protest at his audacity. 

“Because I order it.” 

You rip your hand of his grip harshly, prompting him to stop and turn towards you with eyes telling you are in trouble. 

But you can be both enraged. 

“Thrawn. With all the respect I owe you, who the fuck do you think you are to order me around like that?” 

He straightens his back, rising with all his height. 

“Your Grand Admiral, and more importantly, your husband.” 

You just cannot believe what you are hearing right now. This is so unlike him! He never got so angry that he resorted to violence, that he physically removed you from a place and now is ordering you around like that! 

Thrawn is not like that. This is not the man you chose for the rest of your life. 

“You think it gives you any power over me?!” 

He advert his gaze to look around and open a door. 

“Please enter. Let us discuss inside privately.” 

You breathe through your nose and enter, not without stabbing him with your eyes. Once inside the conference room, you spin to look at him, crossing your arms on your chest and frowning. 

“What is wrong with you lately? What is going on?!” 

“You are obviously the victim of sexual harassment by your male colleagues. I took the action to intervene for your integrity.” 

You blink, taking a second to process his words. 

“Lark is a dumbass and a clown, but he is not dangerous. If you didn’t ‘take action’ as you said I would have been able to get rid of him myself and with way less drama and publicity.” You correct him. 

He readjusts his position on his feet, grounding himself. He seems calmer but his eyes remain dark and agitated. 

“So you expected me to not act when he put his hands on your body and kissed you without consent?” He asks. 

“No. And I am glad you reacted to protect me. But throwing him to the ground like that? Publically? Like I thought our marriage was supposed to remain a secret and today you seemed ready to beat him to a pulp!” 

“I acted to protect you.” 

“Did you? Or did you protect your ego?”  

His nostril flares but he remains silent. 

Why can’t you see ? 

How you make heads turn and spin all around. 

Before he didn’t mind it. He knows you will never cheat on him, as he would never cheat on you. He never felt the need to resort to violence to deter any rivals, you stopped them very effectively yourself as he gazed lovingly at you from afar. 

But since he knows, all looks caressing your skin is insufferable to him, revolting, a stab in his own flesh, cutting so deep he feels like bleeding to death. 

So when Lark laid his hands on you and kissed your cheek, his brain just... Blacked out. 

His conscience took a backseat as his instincts took the reins and he grabbed the poor fool to throw him on the ground. He didn’t punched him, but he didn't lack the will. 

It was terribly tempting to make him an example.  

To assert his dominance over the foolish suitor who though he could steal the pregnant wife of a Chiss. It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t know. Who kisses a colleague so brazenly like that in the first place? 

He knew that it would be challenging. He heard tales of males Chiss going off the rails for their pregnant partner in his youth and witnessed some crazy acts in his adulthood. So he knew he would have to prepare himself mentally to protect your common secret, to not loose his cool. He even thought that he would rise above that, that he had full control of his anger and possessivity. 

But when he saw Lark all over you... 

It was simply so sickening and maddening, and his protective and possessive instinct just screamed at him so loudly that he simply lost control. He forgot about your relationship being a secret, he forgot about being the Grand Admiral, he forgot about his usual restrain. 

His only goal was your and the baby’s safety. Who does this man thought he was to touch a Chiss’ mate? A Chiss’ wife? The future mother of a Chiss? He needed to be put in his place urgently.  

Now that he has calmed down, he realizes how unbecoming of him and reckless it was.  

But if you think he is going to say sorry, you are terribly wrong. 

He will not apologize for protecting his pregnant wife. In fact he will do it again, as many times as he has to. 

The thing that you are not understanding and that he is slowly realizing right now, is that he could kill fo you. 

One of his own officers, no second thought.  

If they push the right buttons, he will not take responsibility for his actions.  

Because Chiss are protective of their families to an extent you still have absolutely no idea. When Chiss see their partner and children in danger, things get really dangerous, really quickly.  

The syndicure had to put special laws in place and create a special category of crime for those very situations. The murder of a rival to protect a wife and an unborn baby was a classic of Chiss culture since millennials, it was a popular trope for books and movies, plays and operas, something deeply ingrained in their psyche. 

Barbaric for other species, perfectly justified in their eyes. 

So you can sit your pretty butt on any apology because you’re not going to get one. 

“Won’t you say something at least?!” You press him. 

“I understand where you are coming from. But I do not expect you to understand.” 

“Oh really? And why is that if you please? What, I am too stupid to understand the Grand Admiral Thrawn’s glorious mind?” You scoff. 

He deeply inhales. He really doesn’t want to tell you, it would spoil it for you. You deserve to discover it for yourself and have the joy to tell him. He so longs for your sparking eyes when you will approach him with a pregnancy test hidden behind your back. Who is he to rob you of that special moment? 

“You know I never thought that about you.” He counters . 

“Well you sure sound like you do right now.” 

You are very clearly pissed at him but right now he wants nothing more but to take you in his arms and carry you tight to the suite to lay in bed with you. He wants to hide you from the rest of the universe, to hug you so tight that you fusion in one single being, like that you will be safe and sound. He wants to smell his scent on you, mixing with yours in a perfect new fragrance. He wants you safe under his body, caged by his weight so nothing could ever reach and hurt you, protecting you with his large stature. 

But you would claw his face. So he keeps his urge on a leash. 

“I never had and never will have such opinions about you, I respect you too much.” 

“But clearly not enough to have the nerves to order me around like that!”  

You’re really not going to spare him, do you? 

Would he usually have the nerve to grab you to drag you to another place or give you orders like a child? No. 

But he felt justified. When it comes to protecting his Ch’acah and unborn baby he has all the rights in the universe! 

Protecting you and your baby is his sole focus and worry every day, his mission to the Empire became secondary to him. 

“Listen. I don’t know what came over you but I have been sick for months now, I don’t sleep, I puke every day, my back is destroyed and my PCOS is acting up, so I do not have the patience to deal with men petty ego battles right now!” You almost shout, at the end of your patience. 

He remains silent, listening to you breathing heavily. He patiently waits, looking at you silently. He is fully calmed down now and only looks at you with adoration in his shiny red eyes. 

How could he be mad at you when you are carrying his child? This is simply impossible. This is beyond him. 

“Do you feel better?” He softly ask. 

You wince. 

“I.... Yes. Sorry I screamed. But it needed to be said.” You respond, with a nicer tone. 

“I understand and do not hold it against you. In your state mood swings are very common.” 

You sniff, slowly relaxing. 

“My state, my state... PCOS don’t give me mood swing you know it.” You caress a strand of hair behind your ear. 

“I am not talking about your PCOS, Ch’acah. “ 

You raise an eyebrow with a silent question. 

He ponders, should he tell you? Keep the secret? 

Sure seeing you come to him with your largest smile to tell you the news sounds terribly alluring, but keeping the news away from will prevent you from getting the appropriate care. 

You could hurt yourself and the baby at the gym or while training with colleagues. 

He got rid of all the alcohol bottles in the suite behind your back but he knows Faro has a nice whisky collection and loves to invite you over. 

The risks are too high, every new day brings its new set of dangers. He needs to put a stop to it. 

“You may want to sit, my love.”  

You look at him, incredulous, but cave in. 

He sits in another chair and leans forward to take your hand in his. He gently caresses the back of it with his thumb, reveling in the softness of your thin human skin. He looks at you and cannot refrain from a smile stretching his lips right now, his second hand comes to caress your cheek. 

Your shared life flashes in his mind, all those moments at each other side. So precious.  

“I love you so much, Ch’acah.” He softly says, devouring your gorgeous face with his eyes. 

“Thrawn, you look like you’re about to tell me something shocking.” You reply a bit freaked out. 

He chuckles lightly. 

“You will be shocked, I am sure. But in a good way, I promise you.” 

“Okay.” You readjust yourself in your chair, bracing yourself for what he is about to throw at you. “I am listening.” 

“(Y/n), Ch’acah, my love, light of my days, star of my nights,” He says incredibly softly, squeezing your hand tenderly, caressing your cheekbone, his read eyes spilling love, “You are pregnant.”

★Girldad!Price x Fem!reader headcanons

Girldad!Price that was absolutely ecstatic when he found out the missus was having a baby girl, and even almost cried a few times during the ultrasound appointments he begged to go to with you. Even more so when he found out it was a girl.

Girldad!Price that was obsessed with your baby bump, always finding excuses to feel his baby girl kicking beneath his large hand splayed over your belly or to lay his head on your bump, quietly cooing about how happy he was to be the father of your baby. "She's gonna be just as amazing s'you, luvie."

Girldad!Price that insisted on going baby shopping with you, holding onto your arm as his eyes roamed across the racks of baby girl clothes. He isn't very big on fashion, but he does his best. He definitely plucked a "Daddy's girl" shirt from a rack and tossed it into the basket without saying a word, knowing damn well he was proud of himself for it, though he would never say it out loud.

Girldad!Price that never lets you overwork yourself. How could you be working around the house while carrying his baby? Outrageous. You're hungry? He's already in the kitchen whipping up your pregnancy cravings. The house needs some tidying? He's two steps ahead of you, wiping down the kitchen counters and sweeping the floor. He's always been good at cleaning, anyways.

Girldad!Price that despite his years of military experience, was freaking out when you went into labor. Suddenly all of his training was out then window when he got that call from work, hearing the urgency in your voice when you said your water broke. Now he's completely dropped everything to absolutely book it home while on the phone with you at the same time, trying his best to comfort you while he was panicking himself.

Girldad!Price that by some stroke of luck, managed to snatch up both you and the hospital bag, practically slamming on the gas while your pained groans and string of swears practically passed in one ear and out the other. He was about to be a dad... Oh boy, someone get him an Asprin.

Girldad!Price that was stone cold frozen when he saw his daughter for the first time, scared that he would break her tiny fragile body if he held her, but also too scared to look away. The second the nurses offered him to hold her, the man absolutely broke down in tears, full on ugly sobbing and blubbering incoherent words as he held his baby for the first time, her tiny hand wrapped around his large finger. You knew from this point on that he would do anything for that girl.

Girldad!Price, as if he wasn't at your hip enough, was practically strapped to your side whenever you had the baby with you. The second you were discharged from the hospital he insisted on being the one to hold her while you got the rest you deserved, "You go rest up, luvie. Daddy's got'er." He'd say often as he scooped the little bundle of joy from your arms, cradling her against his chest and walking away. You knew better than to argue with him, especially with his little girl.

Girldad!Price that heard knocking on the front door, only to be greeted by the rest of 141, all eager to see the baby. Gaz was the most concerned, asking if you have been eating and taking care of yourself since you had her. Soap was playing with her, stirring up a playful game of peek-a-boo or doing anything to get a giggle out of the sweet baby girl. Ghost, ever the distant man, decided to observe from a distance, though after much persuasion from everyone else finally held the baby against his strong chest. You could practically see the tension relieving in his shoulders as he stared at her, expressing wordless adoration. "Y'did good, dove." Ghost muttered almost inaudibly, earning a small fond chuckle out of you.

Girldad!Price that made it everybody's business about his sweet baby girl. You're in the barracks playing darts with other soldiers? He's showing you baby pictures and doting on about how cute and sweet she is. You're in the mess hall just trying to get through the day while tearing open an MRE? He sits down beside you and talks all about how much his life has changed after the missus gave birth to his baby girl. Even the new recruits noticed a change in the usually cold and straight-forward Captain.

Girldad!Price that practically saw stars when his baby girl said her first words, not to mention her first steps. You can only imagine the look on the man's face while he was watching a good ol' game of football on the TV and you were in the kitchen whipping up dinner when he heard a small babbled "M-Mummaa!-" out of the bunny. Sure, he was a little disappointed it wasn't a "Papa", but nonetheless he was smitten even more, if that was even possible.

Girldad!Price that gave the little lady a whole fighting lesson before she started her first day of kindergarten. "Aim for the back o' tha knees, bunny.", "Anyone bothers you n' you come t'me, got it?" It earned a few cheeky comments and scoffs from you, though he insisted it was necessary. Nobody would be messing with his baby girl under his watch.

Girldad!Price that will hang up any drawing his little girl makes as if it was the best work of art he'd ever seen. He's watch and nod in awe as she totted up to him with a piece of paper and three drawings of egg-shaped people, claiming it was him, you, and her. She made sure to make daddy's beard very prominent (by that she drew scribbles across his potato face with a brown crayon)

Girldad!Price that got the annual "Daddy Daughter Dance" flyer from the little one after he picked her up from school, already silently planning the whole night together with her. Already planning the suit he's going to wear and taking her shopping to pick out whatever dress she want, also having the missus do her hair all nice and pretty to make her feel like the princess she is.

Girldad!Price that is rolling up to the Daddy Daughter Dance with the little bunny, opening the door for her as she hopped out of the back seat and glaring at anybody that does as much as glance at his princess the wrong way. He's holding her hand the whole way there, standing tall and causing others to look away as soon as his glares meets their field of view. To outsiders, an intimidating and hardened military veteran that could snap them in half without breaking a sweat; But to his baby girl? A giant teddy bear that gives the best hugs and treats her like the princess she is.

Dew pussy propaganda please!

HEHEHE

He's still part water ghoul, ya know. His cunt is so wet and addicting, making such crude noises as he's being fucked wether by fingers or cock. Super soaker 9000 (real)

Has a pretty clit piercing that has a dangling piece, Dew loves grinding on Aether's face just for the fact Aeth will try to bite the jewel and pull.

Water Ghouls have clutches, being eggs! There's two ways being: Receiving eggs from another water ghoul's tentacle OR a ghoul fertilizing ones they have during heats waiting. Dewy loves the threat of fertilizing his eggs, just being pounded into with the other leaning down to touch his abdomen. "How many you have in here, huh? Gotta now how many times I need to knot you. Gonna be fucking full by time I'm done with you."

With the pussy propaganda comes the titty and lactation propaganda. Dew has small tits, AA cups, but they're still functional! Say Aether fucks with his mind with some quint-intox and a breeding kink, forcing his body into pregnancy mode when he doesn't have a clutch. His poor chest getting swollen and needing Aether to suck on his nipple to relieve the pain and let milk outt

Mountain LOVES cockwarming with Dew. Not only because of how warm he is, but from the sheer size difference between them. Mountain has a huge cock, and with Dew's height and anatomy, loves feeling how Dew has to stretch around him so fucking much. His cunt twitching and grasping, trying to adjust to such a big entry. Dew can't even move his hips without his t-dick being set on fire from the sheer amount of sensitivity

Vet Harry rambles ?

SORRY IVE BEEN MAKING YOU WAIT FOR SO LONG BUT I FINALLY POSTED IT UGH IM SORRY :((

Okay so first of all

Y/n loves his little hip chub ☹️ like ugh

The little hip chin he’s got from only surviving on eating whatever is the daily pastry (he’s literally giving mouthful of tooth pastry) at the bakery across the street

And she pinched at his little hip chub and bites it

And he just whines and giggles because it tickles but he secretly loves it :p

And he’s so the boyfriend who is balls deep in her but still asks “do you like me though???”

Like not to get all sad but I definitely feel like based on his personality and other random things that in the past people haven’t treated him the best so in relationships he’s very insecure about stuff like that

So she constantly has to reassure him that she really does love him, and then he apologizes for it but she doesn’t mind, she likes reminding him how much she loves him

And y/n’s family is obsessed with him

Anytime he is around her family it’s just hugs and smiles all around

The little kids love him because he shows interest in their games and asks if he can play, and because he knows a lot about animals

And the adults and older adults loves him because he’s so sweet and always there to have a conversation without there being awkward silences

And I KNOWWW I’m getting ahead of myself because this is not happening any time soon!!!

But I can’t stop thinking about how sweet Harry would be when she’s pregnant.

I imagine she probably moves in with him since he has a big town house, and maybe after their baby I’d a year or so old they move into a cute little house together

I can definitely see that same angsty trope we see a lot where y/n gets super insecure during pregnancy happening to them

But this time Harry also gets super insecure and he’s like “she’s gonna leave me because she’s got that amazing pregnancy glow and now she’s going to have a super cute baby by her side and everyone’s going to want her 😢”

And pregnancy sex kind of… absolutely blows his mind

He loves having the bump to rub and more hip chin to grab onto when needed

He especially liked how sensitive and reactive she is because sometimes he tends to get a little ahead of himself and get a little crazy and then he has her a whimpering pile of mush in his arms

And when she is working harry is SICK

Constantly calling her “remember to take breaks, don’t wear yourself out walking all over that hospital. Just stay with the babies today, don’t leave the NICU at all. Sit there and coo at the cute babies.”

And when she finally takes maternity leave he is so relieved oh god

But while she’s pregnant harry is always running out to the little bakery across the street

And he claims it’s for the baby so they can come out with a sweet tooth like their daddy so they can take little trips to the bakery together

But it’s really so he has an excuse to buy a bakers dozen of their raspberry lemon muffins

But he also loves going out to grab whatever y/n is craving

And she obviously knows a lot about pregnancy and babies since she is a NICU nurse

So she’s like “H, if I’m craving sugar I should probably just have some fruit. It’s really good for the baby, you know. I need to get my fruit and veggies in now more than ever.”

“I’ll get you a slice of apple pie! It’s mainly apples.”

And he is ALWAYS talking to her bump, constantly kissing it and rubbing it and singing to it and just rambling on about anything and everything

“And then when I was feeding Muffin today he tried to bite my hand because he thought I would pour the food into his bowl quicker but he was sadly mistaken because then I winced in pain for a couple minutes to make him feel bad just so he could learn a lesson and not bite his daddy.”

“Harry are you done?”

“No, my story isn’t over yet, petal. Then Muffin felt really bad. Maybe we should keep the names the same Oreo, Muffin, I think we should name the baby… jelly bean.” (That was random but it’s about to be Easter so that’s the first thing that popped in my Harry’s head)

And from then on they nickname the baby jellybean

They got so tired of calling the baby “it” or “they” with nothing else to call them because they have not picked out a name, and because it felt a little impersonal to them

So now the baby was “jelly bean”

“How’s the little jelly bean doing?”

“Did our little jelly bean keep you up all night”

“Wait, petal, you know what I just thought of? Now you have a jelly belly. Isn’t that so funny?… get it? Because a jelly bean brand is named jellybelly.”

And even once the baby is out they are still “jelly bean”

They hardly bother called the baby their real name, even though they picked that name for a reason and love it, jelly bean just felt more natural for them and it was the affectionate nickname they used for half a year

And once Harry has to leave to go back to work he’s so upset “why can’t I just take my jelly bean with me 😞 they can come see the puppies and the little kittens.”

“They have two huge puppies here. I’ll call you on your break so you can see her, I’ll send you photos, I’ll let you know all about the horrible dirty diapers and spit up I’ll have to deal with once you’re home.”

Okay that’s really all the thoughts I have 😩

Let me know what your thoughts too 🤭

[therhythmafterthesummer]

hii!! Soft thoughts of when WereRoomies get their partner’s pregnant? I feel like pretty would put together either a prank or surprise party for chan, but that’s just me! 😅 You can write whatever you want though <3

ooohhh

let's talk about a very HYPOTHETICAL scenario where they are pregnant, because we haven't gotten there yet in the main storyline and we don't know if we will 👀

also, i don't think chris and pretty are the type of couple to do pranks on each other at all. but anyway, i'll leave all my thoughts under the cut:

so... if pretty were to discover she was pregnant, she would definitely not throw a surprise party to tell chris. like, the girls of the pack could potentially find out before he does, but she's not gonna tell anyone other than them bc it just doesn't feel right.

so let's skip the "finding out" part altogether for now, and jump into the pregnancy per se. chris would be like, attached to pretty's hip. sometimes annoyingly so.

"are you okay?? do you need anything??? should i bring you anything?????? sit down, you need to rest, pretty, please..." he'd be that type of guy sdkjfhsjkdf

we've discussed before that he'd be the type to hold the bump and try to relieve some of the weight, so they'd be waddling around like that often for sure.

chris would sing to that baby every day, and i'm sure the pup would always react to his voice.

the moment he felt the pup's first kick, he literally started crying because "wow that's my CHILD in there.... OUR child...." and both would get super emotional about it.

now, if autumn were to get pregnant with changbin's pups, i feel like they'd be that couple that would buy EVERYTHING for their kid(s). the most obscure baby gadget you can imagine, they'll have it. like three different types of strollers and car seats, feeding utensils, bags, EVERYTHING.

and let's not talk about the toys.... this kid is gonna be s p o i l e d. every single possible toy in existence, their kid will have it. they haven't been born yet?? doesn't matter, they already bought one of those mini cars that you can actually drive, and an endless supply of building blocks.

i feel like changbin would also be one of those to read to the baby bump. he'll get some child stories and read them every night, which will probably be something he does after the pup is born.

and finally, if kitten were to become pregnant, minho would be like... one of those that gets sympathy pains. kitten's feet hurt? his hurt, too. she's nauseous? he's nauseous, too. it's not very ideal, since he wants to take care of her so badly, but he also feels like shit often lol that's when uncle jisung is called.

this kid hasn't even been born, but i'm sure minho would get them a baby kamen rider costume. boy or girl? doesn't matter. they're gonna wear the fucking costume.

you know how some women during pregnancy start hating the child's father for no reason??? i feel like kitten would be like that. she'd be annoyed at him super randomly for no reason, and would always be like "god, i'm so sorry. so so sorry, but i just can't stand you right now" and minho would be all pouty but understanding because, yeah the obgyn told them this was a thing and that they needed to work through it. thankfully, they found a workaround. kitten doesn't get this reaction when he's in his wolf form, so he'll be in his wolf form very very often, and they'll also cuddle a lot like that.

moss isn't included here because i just can't see them ever getting pregnant. not even hypothetically, i'm sorry sdkjfhskjdfs

 Sore Coccyx : Causes, Relief, and Treatment Tips

After pregnancy, your body goes through many changes—physically, hormonally, and emotionally. While many new moms experience common postpartum challenges, one issue that is often overlooked is coccyx (tailbone) pain. This type of discomfort, particularly after childbirth, can be quite distressing, affecting your ability to sit, stand, and care for your newborn. If you’re dealing with a sore coccyx after pregnancy, you're not alone, and there are effective ways to alleviate the discomfort.

In this article, we’ll explore the causes of coccyx pain specifically related to pregnancy, how to manage it, and tips for easing the pain so that you can feel more comfortable during the postpartum period.

What Causes Sore Coccyx After Pregnancy?

Coccyx pain, also known as coccydynia, is a common complaint that many women experience after giving birth. The coccyx is the small bone at the end of your spine, and it plays an important role in supporting your weight while sitting. Pregnancy and childbirth can place stress on this area of your body, leading to discomfort or pain.

Here are the main causes of coccyx pain after pregnancy:

1. Childbirth Trauma

During delivery, especially vaginal births, your tailbone can be directly affected. The process of labor and the passage of the baby through the birth canal can place pressure on the coccyx. If the baby’s head presses against it for a prolonged period, it can bruise or even cause a minor fracture in the tailbone. Additionally, if you had a difficult or assisted delivery (using forceps or a vacuum), there may be more strain on the area, leading to soreness.

2. Changes in Posture

After pregnancy, your body goes through significant changes in posture and alignment as it recovers. This includes the adjustment of your pelvic floor muscles, which can impact the coccyx and cause discomfort. Sitting for long periods, especially in poor posture, can exacerbate tailbone pain. New moms often sit for extended periods to breastfeed or care for their baby, which can aggravate the sore coccyx.

3. Hormonal Changes

During pregnancy, the hormone relaxin helps loosen the ligaments around your pelvic region to prepare for childbirth. While this is helpful during labor, it can also lead to lingering looseness and instability in the pelvic area post-delivery. This instability can affect the alignment of the coccyx, leading to pain or discomfort.

4. Pelvic Floor Muscle Strain

After giving birth, your pelvic floor muscles may be weakened or stretched. These muscles help stabilize your tailbone. When they are not functioning optimally, they can contribute to pain in the coccyx area, as your body works to regain its strength and support.

Symptoms of Sore Coccyx After Pregnancy

The pain associated with a sore coccyx can vary, but common symptoms include:

Sharp or aching pain at the base of the spine when sitting down or standing up.

Tenderness or discomfort when pressure is applied to the tailbone.

Difficulty sitting for long periods, especially on hard surfaces.

Pain that worsens during certain movements, such as bending, standing, or rising from a seated position.

Pain that radiates into the lower back or hips.

The discomfort may be mild and temporary for some, while others may experience more intense and persistent pain.

How to Relieve Sore Coccyx After Pregnancy

While a sore coccyx can be bothersome, there are several ways to manage and relieve the pain. Here are some effective strategies:

1. Use a Coccyx Cushion

One of the best ways to manage tailbone pain is by using a special cushion designed to relieve pressure on the coccyx. Donut-shaped cushions, which have a cut-out in the middle, help alleviate pressure when sitting and prevent further irritation. These cushions can be used while breastfeeding, sitting at a desk, or resting on the couch.

2. Maintain Good Posture

Poor posture can make coccyx pain worse. Be mindful of your posture when sitting, standing, or walking. When sitting, try to avoid slouching and ensure your back is straight. If you're breastfeeding or sitting for long periods, try to adjust your position regularly to avoid prolonged pressure on the coccyx.

3. Heat and Ice Therapy

Applying an ice pack or heating pad to the coccyx area can help relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Ice is most effective in the first 48 hours after the pain starts, as it helps numb the area and reduce swelling. After the initial period, heat can be more beneficial in relaxing muscles and improving blood flow.

4. Gentle Stretching and Exercise

Gentle stretching can help reduce tightness and muscle strain around the tailbone. Pelvic tilts, sitting on an exercise ball, and low-impact activities like walking or swimming can help strengthen the muscles around your pelvis and lower back. Consult a physical therapist for postpartum exercises that are safe and effective for your body.

5. Over-the-Counter Pain Relief

Over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help alleviate inflammation and pain. Be sure to check with your healthcare provider before taking any medication, especially if you are breastfeeding, to ensure it is safe for you and your baby.

6. Physical Therapy

If the pain persists or is significantly affecting your daily activities, consider seeing a physical therapist who specializes in postpartum recovery. They can teach you exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor, improve your posture, and reduce pressure on your coccyx. Manual therapy may also be used to address any misalignments or soft tissue injuries in the area.

When to Seek Medical Help

If the pain from a sore coccyx after pregnancy persists for more than a few weeks, becomes severe, or is accompanied by other symptoms such as swelling, bruising, or difficulty moving, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider. In rare cases, there may be more serious issues such as a tailbone fracture that requires medical treatment.

Conclusion

A sore coccyx after pregnancy is a common postpartum issue that can be caused by childbirth, hormonal changes, or postural adjustments. While the discomfort can be frustrating, most cases improve with time and simple self-care strategies. Using supportive cushions, practicing good posture, and incorporating gentle exercises can help reduce the pain. If the discomfort persists, don’t hesitate to seek help from your healthcare provider to find a treatment plan that works for you.

Remember, your body is healing and adjusting after pregnancy, and with the right care tips for pregnancy discomfort , your coccyx pain should subside in time.

The Unexpected Benefits of Prenatal Yoga: More Than Just a Stretch

Prenatal yoga has gained popularity for its calming, body-strengthening benefits during pregnancy. But did you know there’s more to prenatal yoga than just stretches and breathing exercises? From physical relief to mental resilience, prenatal yoga offers a host of unexpected advantages that support both the mind and body. Whether you’re a mom-to-be or interested in prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher training, here’s what you need to know about the deeper benefits of prenatal yoga.

1. Reduces Physical Discomforts of Pregnancy

As pregnancy progresses, many women experience common discomforts like back pain, swelling, and muscle tension. Prenatal yoga is uniquely designed to ease these issues by focusing on stretches and poses that relieve pressure from areas like the lower back, hips, and legs. Additionally, prenatal yoga includes safe techniques to strengthen the muscles around the spine and pelvis, which can lead to better alignment and less strain.

This is especially valuable for those considering prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher training, as learning these techniques can help guide others toward effective, safe solutions for common pregnancy-related pains.

2. Enhances Emotional Stability and Reduces Stress

Pregnancy is an emotional journey, and stress can significantly impact both the mother and baby. Prenatal yoga includes mindful breathing exercises that help calm the nervous system, reducing cortisol levels and promoting relaxation. Through consistent practice, these breathing techniques encourage mental clarity and emotional stability, preparing the mother for labor and parenthood with a calmer, more balanced mindset.

For those interested in prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher training, understanding these emotional benefits can empower you to support pregnant clients holistically, going beyond physical movement to create a serene, supportive environment.

3. Prepares the Body for Labor

Prenatal yoga emphasizes strength-building and flexibility in specific muscle groups involved in labor and delivery. Gentle hip openers, pelvic tilts, and breathing techniques prepare the body for labor by increasing stamina and encouraging natural alignment. By strengthening the core, legs, and pelvic floor, prenatal yoga equips mothers-to-be with the physical tools they need for a smoother, more empowered labor experience.

For future yoga instructors, prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher training will deepen your understanding of how to incorporate these poses in classes, offering a well-rounded approach to preparing clients for labor.

4. Promotes Better Sleep

Pregnancy can bring on sleep disruptions due to discomfort, anxiety, and hormonal changes. Many prenatal yoga poses are designed to release muscle tension and encourage relaxation, which can improve sleep quality. Practicing calming poses like child’s pose, supported reclined positions, and gentle side stretches can help pregnant women unwind at bedtime and promote deeper, more restful sleep.

Learning these poses in a prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher training program will enable you to teach others how to incorporate sleep-supportive practices into their routine for more restorative sleep during pregnancy.

5. Creates a Supportive Community

One of the often-overlooked benefits of prenatal yoga is the supportive community it fosters. Prenatal yoga classes bring together women going through similar experiences, creating a space for sharing insights, discussing common concerns, and building friendships. This sense of camaraderie and shared experience can provide lasting support throughout pregnancy and into the postpartum period.

For yoga instructors, prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher training includes guidance on how to nurture a welcoming, community-oriented class environment. This helps cultivate a supportive network that can be incredibly valuable for new mothers as they navigate the challenges of pregnancy and early motherhood.

Why Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training Matters

If you’re passionate about supporting women through pregnancy and beyond, prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher training can be a rewarding path. This specialized training covers everything from safe poses and modifications to the mental and emotional aspects of prenatal yoga. By understanding the unique needs of pregnant women, you’ll be equipped to guide them through a safe, empowering practice that prepares them for childbirth and life as a new mother.

Conclusion

Prenatal yoga offers unexpected benefits that go beyond physical stretches, encompassing mental and emotional wellness, community support, and preparation for labor. For both expectant mothers and yoga instructors, the practice of prenatal yoga can be transformative, providing tools and support to navigate pregnancy and the postpartum period with strength and confidence. With prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher training, you can learn to bring these benefits to others, helping them enjoy a healthier, more mindful pregnancy journey.

Managing Pelvic Girdle and Groin Pain During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a time of immense change in a woman’s body, and with those changes often come physical discomforts. Pelvic girdle pain and groin pain are common issues that many women experience during pregnancy, particularly as the body prepares for childbirth. These types of pain can be challenging to manage, but with the right care and treatment, relief is possible.

At Betterbacks, we specialize in helping women navigate the physical discomforts of pregnancy with safe and effective treatment options. In this blog, we’ll explore the causes of pelvic girdle pain and groin pain during pregnancy and how to manage these conditions to ensure a more comfortable pregnancy.

What is Pelvic Girdle Pain?

Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) refers to pain that occurs in the pelvic region, including the front, back, and sides of the pelvis. During pregnancy, the ligaments that support the pelvic joints become more relaxed due to hormonal changes, particularly the release of the hormone relaxin. This loosening of the ligaments can cause instability in the pelvic joints, leading to pain and discomfort.

Pelvic girdle pain is often described as a sharp or aching pain in the lower back, hips, and pelvic area. The pain may worsen with activities that involve weight-bearing, such as walking, climbing stairs, or standing on one leg.

What Causes Groin Pain During Pregnancy?

Groin pain during pregnancy is often related to the same hormonal and physical changes that contribute to pelvic girdle pain. As the body prepares for childbirth, the ligaments and muscles in the pelvic area stretch and shift to accommodate the growing baby. This can lead to discomfort in the groin region, particularly in the later stages of pregnancy.

Groin pain can also be caused by round ligament pain, which occurs when the ligaments that support the uterus stretch and become strained. This type of pain is usually sharp and sudden, often triggered by movements such as standing up quickly or rolling over in bed.

Managing Pelvic Girdle Pain and Groin Pain During Pregnancy

While pelvic girdle pain and groin pain can be uncomfortable, there are several ways to manage these conditions and improve your quality of life during pregnancy. Here are some effective treatment options:

1. Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic adjustments can help realign the pelvis and relieve pressure on the joints, providing relief from pelvic girdle pain. At Betterbacks, our chiropractors use gentle techniques that are safe for pregnant women to help restore balance and reduce discomfort.

2. Physical Therapy

Physical therapy can be highly effective in managing both pelvic girdle and groin pain pregnancy. A physical therapist can guide you through exercises that strengthen the muscles supporting the pelvis and improve stability, reducing the risk of further injury.

3. Pelvic Support Belts

Wearing a pelvic support belt can help stabilize the pelvic joints and reduce pain during weight-bearing activities. These belts provide gentle compression and support to the pelvic region, making it easier to move around without discomfort.

4. Exercise and Stretching

Gentle exercises and stretches can help improve flexibility and strengthen the muscles around the pelvis. Low-impact activities such as walking, swimming, and prenatal yoga can be particularly beneficial in managing pelvic girdle pain and groin pain.

5. Rest and Posture

Taking regular breaks to rest and avoid prolonged standing or walking can help alleviate pain. Paying attention to your posture, especially when sitting or standing, can also prevent strain on the pelvic area.

6. Heat and Cold Therapy

Applying heat or cold to the affected area can provide relief from pain and inflammation. A warm bath or a heating pad can help relax tense muscles, while an ice pack can reduce swelling and numb discomfort.

Reclaim Your Strength: Essential Postpartum Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Exercises for New Moms

Welcoming a new baby into your life is an exciting and life-changing experience. However, it also comes with its share of challenges, particularly for the body.

One area that often needs attention after childbirth is the pelvic floor. Many new mothers experience issues such as incontinence, pelvic pain, or a weakened core due to the strain pregnancy and delivery place on the pelvic muscles.

That’s where Postpartum Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation comes in, helping new moms regain strength and control in this vital area of their body.

This article explores why pelvic floor rehabilitation is essential and the key exercises that can help new moms on their journey to recovery.

Why Postpartum Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation is Important

The pelvic floor muscles form a supportive base for the bladder, uterus, and bowels, working in conjunction with the abdominal and back muscles to stabilize the core.

During pregnancy and childbirth, these muscles are stretched and weakened, which can lead to a variety of issues, including:

Urinary Incontinence: Many women experience leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exercising due to weakened pelvic muscles.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse: In severe cases, weakened muscles can lead to the descent of pelvic organs area.

Lower Back Pain: A weakened pelvic floor can also result in poor posture and chronic lower back discomfort.

The good news is that Postpartum Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation through specific exercises can alleviate or completely resolve these issues.

Rehabilitation helps restore muscle strength and function, improving your quality of life and enabling you to care for your baby without discomfort.

When to Start Postpartum Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

It’s natural to want to get back into shape quickly after childbirth, but it’s essential to give your body the time it needs to heal.

For many women, this means waiting around 6 to 8 weeks before beginning pelvic floor exercises, especially if they had a complicated birth or C-section.

Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any exercise program to ensure it's safe for you.

Essential Exercises for Postpartum Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

To regain strength and function in the pelvic floor, specific exercises target these muscles and promote recovery. Below are some of the most effective exercises for postpartum rehabilitation:

1. Kegel Exercises

Kegels are perhaps the most well-known pelvic floor exercise, and for good reason—they work! The purpose of Kegels is to strengthen the muscles that support the bladder, and rectum.

How to perform Kegel exercises:

Find a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down.

Contract your pelvic floor muscles as if you are trying to stop the flow of urine.

Hold the contraction for 5-10 seconds, then relax for 10 seconds.

Repeat this 10-15 times, three times a day.

It’s important to ensure you’re using the right muscles—if your stomach or glutes are tensing up, you may be doing them incorrectly. A physical therapist can help ensure you’re performing them properly.

2. Bridge Pose (Glute Bridge)

Bridges not only strengthen the pelvic floor, but they also work the glutes and hamstrings, providing additional stability for your core.

How to perform a bridge pose:

Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.

Inhale, then slowly exhale as you lift your hips toward the ceiling, squeezing your glutes and engaging your pelvic floor.

Hold the position for a few seconds, then slowly lower your hips back down.

Repeat this 10-12 times, gradually increasing the number of repetitions as your strength improves.

Bridges are an excellent way to build pelvic floor and core strength while also relieving lower back pain, a common postpartum issue.

3. Transverse Abdominal Contractions (TA Contractions)

The transverse abdominis (TA) is the deepest abdominal muscle and plays a crucial role in core stability. Strengthening this muscle is essential in Postpartum Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation as it directly supports the pelvic floor.

How to perform TA contractions:

Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.

Place your hands on your lower abdomen, just above the pelvis.

Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, pull your belly button toward your spine, engaging your pelvic floor.

Hold for 5 seconds, then relax.

Repeat this exercise 10-15 times, gradually increasing the hold time as you progress.

By focusing on the deeper core muscles, you’ll also help prevent the common postpartum issue of diastasis recti, or the separation of the abdominal muscles.

4. Pelvic Tilts

Pelvic tilts are a gentle but effective way to engage the core and pelvic floor muscles, especially in the early stages of rehabilitation.

How to perform pelvic tilts:

Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.

Inhale deeply, and as you exhale, press your lower back into the floor, engaging your pelvic floor muscles.

Hold this position for a few seconds before releasing.

Repeat this 10-15 times, focusing on controlled, gentle movements.

Pelvic tilts can help relieve tension in the lower back and improve posture, both of which are important for overall recovery.

5. Squats

Squats are an excellent full-body exercise that strengthens the pelvic floor, core, and lower body muscles.

How to perform a squat:

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward.

Inhale as you lower your hips back and down, as if you’re sitting in a chair, keeping your back straight.

As you rise back to standing, exhale and engage your pelvic floor muscles.

Perform 10-12 repetitions, gradually increasing as you become stronger.

Squats help to restore functional strength and are a great way to prepare your body for the physical demands of motherhood, like lifting and carrying your baby.

Benefits of Working with a Physical Therapist for Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

While many of these exercises can be done at home, working with a physical therapist, especially one who specializes in women’s health, can make a significant difference in your recovery. A therapist can:

Assess the strength and function of your pelvic floor.

Provide guidance on proper technique.

Create a customized rehabilitation plan tailored to your unique needs.

Help you avoid or address potential complications, like pelvic organ prolapse or severe incontinence.

Postpartum Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation can significantly improve your postpartum recovery experience. A physical therapist at Chesterton Physical Therapy can guide you through the entire process, ensuring that you regain full function in your pelvic floor muscles safely and effectively.

Tips for a Successful Rehabilitation Journey

Here are a few additional tips to make your Postpartum Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation a success:

Be patient with your body: Your muscles need time to heal and strengthen. Don’t rush the process—consistency is more important than speed.

Stay hydrated: Proper hydration supports muscle function and recovery.

Maintain proper posture: Poor posture can strain the pelvic floor, so focus on standing and sitting with good alignment.

Seek professional guidance: If you're experiencing pain or discomfort, consult a pelvic floor physical therapist.

Conclusion

Postpartum Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation is an essential step for new moms to regain strength, stability, and control in the pelvic area.

Exercises like Kegels, bridges, TA contractions, and pelvic tilts can help you strengthen your pelvic floor, improve your quality of life, and prevent long-term issues.

Remember, every woman’s recovery is unique, so listen to your body and consider working with a healthcare professional experts at Chesterton Physical, to guide you through your postpartum journey safely.

Elevate Your Yoga Practice: The Benefits of Using a Bolster Pillow

In recent years, yoga has become a popular way to improve physical health, mental clarity, and emotional well-being. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner, incorporating props like a yoga bolster pillow can take your practice to the next level. Often overlooked, a bolster pillow is a versatile and supportive tool that can enhance comfort, improve alignment, and deepen relaxation. This article explores the key benefits of using a bolster pillow and how it can elevate your yoga experience.

1. Enhanced Support for Restorative Poses

Restorative yoga is a gentle practice designed to relax the body and mind through prolonged poses. A yoga bolster pillow provides much-needed support, allowing the body to rest in these positions without straining muscles or joints. When placed under the back, knees, or hips, a bolster helps maintain alignment and reduces pressure, enabling the body to fully release tension. This is especially helpful in poses like Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Bound Angle Pose) and Supported Child's Pose, where comfort and relaxation are key.

2. Improved Alignment and Posture

Proper alignment is crucial for maximizing the benefits of yoga and preventing injury. A bolster pillow can help guide the body into correct alignment in various poses, particularly for beginners or individuals with limited flexibility. For example, in seated forward bends like Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Fold), placing a bolster under the knees can reduce strain on the lower back and hamstrings, encouraging a safer stretch. By providing the right support, bolsters assist in maintaining proper posture while allowing for gradual progress.

3. Deeper Stretches with Minimal Effort

Using a yoga bolster can help deepen stretches without forcing the body into uncomfortable positions. In poses like Supported Bridge Pose or Supported Backbends, placing the bolster under the lower back can open up the chest and shoulders, promoting a deeper stretch in the spine. This gentle support allows practitioners to relax into the pose, making it easier to access deeper stretches and release tight muscles over time.

4. Enhanced Relaxation and Meditation

One of the greatest benefits of yoga is its ability to calm the mind and reduce stress. Incorporating a bolster pillow during relaxation or meditation practices can make it easier to settle into stillness. In Savasana (Corpse Pose), for instance, placing a bolster under the knees can relieve pressure on the lower back, allowing the body to relax more fully. Bolsters can also provide comfortable support during seated meditation, promoting better posture and reducing distractions caused by discomfort.

5. Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation

Yoga bolster pillows are excellent tools for injury prevention and recovery. For individuals healing from injuries or dealing with chronic pain, bolsters can modify poses to reduce strain on sensitive areas while still allowing the body to move and stretch. By cushioning and supporting the body, a bolster helps practitioners maintain mobility without aggravating existing conditions. Whether you’re recovering from a back injury or managing joint pain, incorporating a bolster can make yoga more accessible and therapeutic.

6. Prenatal Yoga Support

For pregnant women, yoga can be an effective way to stay active and alleviate discomfort during pregnancy. A bolster pillow is particularly beneficial in prenatal yoga, as it helps accommodate a growing belly while providing much-needed support. In poses like Supported Reclined Hero Pose and Modified Child’s Pose, bolsters can make it easier for pregnant women to relax and stretch safely, enhancing comfort during their practice.

7. Versatility for All Levels of Practice

One of the best features of a yoga bolster pillow is its versatility. It can be used by practitioners of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced yogis. Bolsters help beginners build confidence by providing extra support in challenging poses, while seasoned practitioners can use them to deepen stretches, explore new variations, or enhance relaxation in restorative sequences.

Conclusion

Incorporating a yoga bolster pillow into your practice can enhance comfort, support proper alignment, and promote deeper relaxation. Whether you’re looking to ease into challenging poses, deepen your stretches, or find comfort in meditation, a bolster can be a valuable tool. By providing both physical support and mental relaxation, the bolster pillow allows you to elevate your yoga practice, making it more accessible, comfortable, and beneficial for body and mind.

Consider adding a bolster pillow to your yoga toolkit and experience the transformative benefits it brings to your practice!

The Benefits of Seeing a Pregnancy Chiropractor: A Comprehensive Guide 🤰💆‍♀️

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it can come with its fair share of physical discomforts. Many expecting mothers experience back pain, pelvic pressure, and other bodily aches that can make daily life challenging.

One effective way to manage these issues is by visiting a pregnancy chiropractor. This guide explores the benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy and how it can support your well-being.

1. Relieves Back and Pelvic Pain 🩹🧘‍♀️

As your baby grows, your center of gravity shifts, placing additional strain on your spine and pelvis. This often leads to lower back pain and discomfort. Pregnancy chiropractors are trained to use gentle, non-invasive techniques to help realign your spine and pelvis, reducing pressure and alleviating pain.

By keeping your spine in proper alignment, chiropractic care can improve your posture and ease discomfort in the lower back and hips. If you are looking for the best prenatal chiropractor in Calgary, you can look at this site.

2. Promotes a Healthier Pregnancy 🤰🌿

Chiropractic care can support overall health by improving your body’s ability to function optimally. When your spine is properly aligned, your nervous system can function more effectively, which may help enhance your body’s ability to communicate and heal.

Regular chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy may contribute to better circulation, reduced inflammation, and improved energy levels, all of which support a healthier pregnancy.

3. Eases Sciatica and Nerve Pain 🦵⚡

Sciatica, a sharp pain that radiates from the lower back down the legs, is a common issue during pregnancy. It’s caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve, often due to the growing uterus.

A pregnancy chiropractor can help relieve sciatic nerve pain through gentle adjustments and specific techniques aimed at reducing pressure on the nerve. This can provide significant relief and improve mobility.

4. Helps with Optimal Fetal Positioning 👶🔄

Chiropractic care, specifically the Webster Technique, is designed to promote optimal pelvic balance. When the pelvis is properly aligned, it creates more space for the baby to move into the correct position for birth.

This can help reduce the risk of breech or posterior positioning, which can complicate labor. Many mothers who seek chiropractic care during pregnancy report smoother deliveries and fewer complications.

5. Prepares Your Body for Labor 🏋️‍♀️🤱

Chiropractic adjustments can also help prepare your body for labor by promoting better alignment and balance in the pelvis and spine. This can contribute to a more efficient and less painful labor process. Proper alignment may help reduce tension in the pelvic muscles and ligaments, allowing the baby to move more easily through the birth canal.

Conclusion 🌟

Visiting a pregnancy chiropractor offers numerous benefits, from pain relief and improved mobility to promoting a healthier pregnancy and easier labor. With the help of a trained professional, you can address the physical challenges of pregnancy while supporting the overall health of both you and your baby.
