growing the family
These were originally posted by the deactivated user herebememes. Here, you can find a large collection of rp prompts relating to couples deciding to have a family together. CWs apply for family planning, infertility, pregnancy, and childbirth.
FAMILY PLANNING:
“I know we’ve always said we want to have kids. Why don’t we start?”
“I think we’re ready. Let’s have a baby. Or five.”
“We have something very important I want to discuss right now.”
“Since when do you not want kids, [partner’s name]? Or do you just not want kids with me?”
“What... what do you mean you can’t have kids?”
“Little known fact: dudes can have trouble making babies, too.”
“We’ll get a second opinion.”
“How do you feel about adopting, or using a surrogate?”
“This fertility doctor is a godsend.”
“If this doesn’t work out, we can do other things.”
“We can adopt or- or find a good surrogate.”
“We should keep trying when we’re ready.”
“That was the adoption agency! We got approved!”
“[Name of surrogate] called. It worked, we’re gonna be parents!”
PREGNANCY:
“I’ve got a special surprise. Follow me.”
“Wait, really? We’re having a baby?”
“Surprise! I’m pregnant, babe!”
“A baby? This is the best news ever!!”
“You’re gonna be a great Mama.”
“But what if I’m not a good Mama?”
“I can’t tell if this is the real baby or just my lunch?”
“This kid better be the cutest thing ever. I feel like utter crap.”
“I’m tired of people not knowing, when can we tell them about the baby?”
“Babe, I think you popped!”
“You’re pregnant? Congratulations, that’s awesome!”
“Guess it’s time to start taking weekly bump pictures, huh?”
“Come quick! I think the baby is kicking!”
“Just wait. They’ll do it again.”
“Right there! Did you feel that? Our baby is saying ‘hello’ to you.”
“Baby has definitely made their appearance this week. No hiding this bump anymore.”
“I know cravings are a thing but I am so freaking hungry! What gives?”
“I know not everyone carries the same but I thought I’d be bigger by now.”
“How big or small your bump is doesn’t mean as much as you think.”
“Time to schedule our birthing classes.”
“As long as both you and baby are healthy, there’s nothing to worry about. I promise.”
“Please don’t touch my belly without asking.”
“[Partner] got all the food I’ve been craving and it was like manna from Heaven.”
“You can touch my bump, I don’t mind.”
“Baby’s moving. Come feel!”
“I’m at the point where my bump enters rooms before I do.”
“Oh my gosh, you are huge!”
“I feel giant.”
“This is a pretty big belly, isn’t it?”
“Oh yes, you’ve definitely dropped.”
“I do not waddle. This is my preggo swag walk.”
“I am way too pregnant for this.”
“I feel like all I do lately is sleep, eat, and go to the bathroom. Can this kid come out already?”
“You look like a duck when you walk.”
“The way I see it, I was a Mama as soon as I saw the positive test and decided to keep it.”
“I’m gonna be somebody’s Mama soon.”
“Are you still sick? Oh, Mama. I’ll help.”
“You’ve got that beautiful Mama glow.”
“I don’t like Mama-to-be. I’m a Mama now.”
“Hey, baby. This is your Mama. I can’t wait to finally meet you.”
“Look at this bump! Can you believe how close we are to meeting them?”
“Awww, Mama, look how big you’re getting.”
“Your belly is so cute, Mama!”
“Hey there, big mama.”
“What’s up, Mamacita?”
“Come on, baby! Your parents want to meet you.”
“Whoa, Mama! Look at that big, round, beautiful bump.”
“Pregnancy suits you, Mama.”
“Oh my god, I want him/her out!”
“I’m uncomfortable and achy and huge.”
“Don’t look at me, I’m gonna cry.”
“I literally rolled out of bed this morning, thanks for that.”
“Come out, come out, COME OUT!”
“It’s your fault I’m an overly emotional blimp right now. The least you can do is help out.”
“Yesterday I literally cried because there was a leaf in front of the garage door sensor. I am so ready to be done.”
“I’m well past the point where being pregnant is fun and cute.”
“My due date has come and gone. Get this thing out of me right now.”
“I was told there would be glowing.”
“I hate being pregnant, I’m never doing this again. I’m serious.”
“I know I’m the size of a planet right now, but everyone wants to touch my bump whenever I go out.”
“When I’m shopping, people don’t look at me anymore. They just stare at this gigantic belly.”
“No, I am not having twins. I just carry big, not that it’s any of your business.”
“I can’t sleep and literally no position is comfortable.”
“I’m either being kicked in the ribs or his/her head is so low he/she feels like he/she might fall out.”
“I thought I was done being sick!”
“I’ve been watching like ten birth videos on YouTube a day and I still don’t feel ready for it.”
“All this discomfort and I still have to be screaming in pain for most of their birthday?”
“Why do I have to go through labor? Can’t I just push the kid out and be done with it?”
“This is false alarm number four. Tell your kid to stop playing with our emotions.”
“Being pregnant is such a blessing, but do these last few weeks have to suck so much?”
“Due dates are just estimates. If you’re a few days early or late, don’t freak out.”
PREPARING FOR BIRTH:
“I want to welcome our baby at home/at a birth center.”
“What’s a birth center?”
“A birth plan and a strong advocate are essential.”
“I hate hospitals. I don’t want to have our baby in one if we can help it, okay?”
“Birth is birth no matter how it happens.”
“Baby and I are going to do this together. We’re a team.”
“How about we go over your birth plan one more time?”
“I got you this CD full of birthing affirmations.”
“I am of the opinion that moms should guide birth. It’s happening to them and their baby, no one else.”
“I am not anti-hospital! I’m just… afraid of them.”
“Look, I don’t want to be given a c-section unless it’s medically necessary.”
“This class is dumb! I know how to breathe!”
“How do you feel about being induced?”
“I’m sad about the c-section, yeah, but it’s safer given everything. Baby and I will be okay. Don’t worry.”
“I know we’re both upset about having to change your birth plan. Did you want to talk about it?”
“I’m so excited! It’s gonna hurt but we’re meeting our baby! I can do anything for them.”
“C-section is booked.”
“It feels kinda weird that we have an official birthday now instead of waiting.”
“My body knows what to do to birth this baby. Let me trust it.”
“Hospital bag is all packed.”
“Everything is ordered for our home birth.”
LABOR:
“Yeah, babe, this is the real thing. We should start counting how far apart they are and how long they last.”
“If you forget the camera, I’m gonna be so upset.”
“Okay, I am getting an epidural as soon as I need one. No later or earlier.”
“Honey? Wake up, please. My water broke.”
“The due date isn’t until next week!”
“About time! The due date was [x] days ago.”
“It’s baby day!”
“My contractions are getting closer together. Stronger.”
“Call the midwife. This is the real deal.”
“Ow-ow-ow! Contraction!”
“Please hold my hand.”
“Please excuse my weird animal noises.”
“It hurts so bad!”
“I can’t do this!”
“You can do this. You are doing it.”
“I’m your advocate here. What you say goes.”
“Fuck breathing! You have the baby!”
“Deep cleansing breaths, Mama. In through your nose and out through your mouth.”
“These contractions are annoying.”
“They aren’t that bad, I promise. See? I just breathed through one.”
“Give me the epidural, please.”
“Anesthesiologist will be up soon.”
“Uugghhhh!!! Make it stop!!”
“That was insane!”
“Getting an epidural does not make you a failure. Don’t say that.”
“Epidural is in and I feel so much better.”
“Let me do this my way!”
“I’m sorry, we need to prep you for a c-section.”
“We’re at ten centimeters already? That’s crazy!”
“I could kiss that anesthesiologist.”
“There you go. Sound your baby out.”
“I think I need to push soon.”
“Don’t push until you can’t resist the urge anymore, okay?”
“I can’t believe our baby is finally gonna be here.”
“Just put pressure on my back and hips, babe. That helps the most.”
“Let’s get on the bed.”
“You don’t have to push flat on your back if you don’t want to.”
“Can we get a squat bar in here, please?”
“Page the nurse. I think it’s time to meet this little lady/guy.”
“Let’s walk around the house a bit more. See if that helps.”
“You be as loud or as quiet as you need.”
BIRTH:
“I’m feeling a lot of pressure.”
“It’s trying to come out my- ow!”
“I need to push!”
“Let’s get in the birth pool.”
“Turn the lights down low so mama can focus.”
“You’re so strong. I’m so proud of you.”
“I’m sorry I’m so loud. The neighbors probably think I’m being murdered or there’s a wild animal in the house.”
“What position do you want to push in?”
“Yeah, baby is right there.”
“Push harder.”
“It’s like I’m trying to shit a watermelon!”
“Come out!”
“I’m pushing as hard as I can…”
“Why is this so much work?”
“I don’t feel like I’m doing anything.”
“I’m okay, babe. The epidural works. I just feel pressure, no pain or anything. I promise.”
“Gonna push a baby out! Nnngghh!”
“I don’t know how much longer I can do this.”
“I can’t, it’s burning!”
“Keep pushing, you can do this!”
“Baby coming out!”
“I want [partner] to catch the baby.”
“How much more pushing?”
“Reach down and take your baby.”
“Here’s your baby! Congratulations!”
“Oh, my God! I did it!”
“I’m so proud of you, my love.”
“I’ve never loved you more than today.”
“Happy birthday, little one.”
“My throat is so sore.”
“Hi, baby! Hi!”
“I feel like I just did the hardest thing I’ll ever do.”
“He/she looks like you!”
“I’m gonna love this baby my whole life.”
“I’m so happy to not be pregnant anymore.”
“I’m gonna stay with you guys the next few days. Make sure we all adjust to this new normal.”
“You’re the most... just wow! I am amazed by you.”
“You did it! You’re amazing.”
“I love you even more than I already did.”
“There’s a whole new person in the world now.”
“I can’t believe we had our baby at home. That was amazing.”
“Doctor said I’m gonna need some pain meds for the next few days. Maybe weeks.”
“You’re already a wonderful mother/father.”
“Seeing you with our baby makes my heart melt.”
“How are you feeling? Still groggy from the surgery?”
“I feel like a failure.”
“You’re not a failure. Don’t say that.”
“It doesn’t matter that you had a c-section. At least not how you think. You’re not less of a woman or whatever crap some people say to make others feel bad about themselves. You still birthed our baby. You’re a rockstar and I’m so proud of you.”
“Ready to go home?”
“You’re doing a great job, Mama. It’s almost over.”
“You’re almost ready to push, Mama. Just a little bit more to go.”
“Showtime, Mama. Push on your next contraction.”
“We’re ready, Mama. Do you know how to push?”
“Good job, Mama! Push that baby right on out. You’re doing great.”
“Push, Mama, push harder.”
“Get mad, Mama. Push really hard.”
“Hey, Mama, here’s your baby.”
“You did it, Mama!”
“I’m finally a Mama.”

bio
tw: mentions of infertility, mentions of infidelity
angie was a happy kid with a mostly happy childhood, growing up with her mother (father rarely, if ever around), her siblings and a little black cat. her mother was her everything, never letting baby angie and her siblings feel like they were missing anything growing up. she was a curious kid, getting to camp, fishing, exploring and learning about the world.
after graduating highschool, angie (19) was going through a bit of a tumultuous relationship. she didn’t go to college, instead idolizing a stay-at-home mother position, willing to forgive nearly anything from her partner, if it would allow her to have children and give them her everything like her own mother had done. unfortunately (or fortunately, depending who you ask), they were unable to conceive. around that time, her partner had decided to be unfaithful and actually fathered a child with his affair partner. this hurt angie to her core, almost more than the cheating itself.
the baby’s name was kiara, and as much as the precursor to her existence was shocking, angie actually became very close with her partner’s child and it’s mother. after about 3 years, angie decided she couldn’t stay with an unforgiving, untrustworthy man and left, keeping in contact with lea (the unknowing other women) and kiara who had also separated themselves from angie’s ex.
she moved to denver when she was twenty seven, feeling like corpis christi had given her all it could. her family had dispersed over the years and with her ending her 10+ year relationship, she needed a fresh start.
angie had been scared to meet new people and try new things but following her mother’s philosophies, she’s trying her best to live her life to the fullest. when she arrived in denver, the old owner of the night and dine was retiring and looking to sell and she took the chance and bought it. finally embracing one of her life long passions, she threw herself in some minor renovations and some huge menu rehauls.
now, she’s living peacefully with her dogs, working in and running the diner, sometimes thinking of her potential other life, one where she went to school, had a child, was close with her family. her dreams as a child were just so different, it’s hard not to think about it.
headcannons/fun facts about angie!
the only person who ever called her angela was her mom so she just doesn’t really use it anymore.
her favourite baked good is a lemon coffee cake and her favourite meal is homecooked soup and corn bread.
she took spanish in high school and fell in love with the language.
she throws herself into her baking and cooking, feeling like she can express her feelings through food.
angie sometimes listens to texan weather channels because the accents comfort her.
she loves nicknames! nicknames for others and for herself, hit her up with any nickname and any sort of pet name and be prepared for her to dote on you with a sweet pet name of her own.
she loves like old art and old photographs.
