>>2922767>There is definitely a niche for the perpetual and phantom pregnancy thing. I would say it starts getting into /d/ territory depending on how it's handled.One twist on this I had in mind was a persistent phantom pregnancy that just gets… replaced, by a real one, as the baby grows. After birth, her belly returns to its previous size over the span of… Oh, a month? Maybe three? Slow enough to have time to savor the process again, without taking the whole nine months.
>The easier ones to accept is probably some kind of magical pause where the baby just stops growing.I've thought of this one before too. The premise I had in mind there was that the longer the baby stays inside mom, once already physically developed, the stronger baby's magical potential when born. Introduces a fun little note of concern at the idea of letting the kid incubate for TOO long.
>There's a side of the hyper pregnancy stuff where it's just they're well past due.I've seen some IRL stuff where the woman was stupidly large without being in "hyper” territory or Octomom, that was more than fine with me. Would you happen to remember a cam girl called “CandyK”? I do have an upper limit on size, but if we're talking fantasy, if her movement isn't inhibited, that limit gets increased somewhat. (Coffeeslice's Rosalina sequence was VERY hot IMHO)
>You could also get into body horror stuff and have a parasite of some sort tricking the woman's body to provide for it (nature has you beat on any idea you can come up with) which would both provide something "kicking"I actually had a lighter and softer spin in mind here, “symbiote” rather than “parasite”. And it wouldn't have to be to the wild extreme of the Venom symbiote either; I had to look up their name as a refresher, but the Tok'ra from Stargate SG-1 are a solid thematic fit.
