that’s just a double meaning; her cutiemark is an oven, for baking pastries, but she likes having a “bun in the oven”

You and I seem to have markedly different weirdness thresholds-especially considering this universe’s general level of structure-warping lunacy. Might as well leave it at that.

@Black_Fox  

@Dylanius
 
Because I was talking about real life equines, not ponies.
 
I also somehow doubt that they’d even consider abortion in their universe as a viable option, no matter how much of an inconvenience having the foal would cause.

@Black_Fox  
 
Then how come Mrs.Cake survived giving birth Pumpkin and Pound Cake?

@TorqueEffect
 
Twins do happen rarely in equines, but the births are extremely dangerous, and pregnancies resulting in twins are typically aborted by the mare’s owners.

@Background Pony #EBE8  
Realism isn’t as much the issue as “Why are you doing this it looks totally weird” is.

@Millennial Dan
 
Between FIM-verse ponies’ supernatural mojo, apparently unnatural durability (Derpy busting Town Hall apart with her rump, etc.), and already cartoony proportions? Yes, I’d say there’s ample reason to give exaggerated bumps a pass so long as ‘hyper’ territory (i.e. more belly than pony) hasn’t been hit. Hell, look at the elastic bodily/facial distortions Pinkie Pie demonstrates and tell me FIM cares one whit about ‘realistic’ limits.

@Background Pony #EBE8  
That’s really not much of a point. Are you saying that an abnormally huge belly size is “justified” because the ponies do people things in the show? What a total non sequitur.

Sure, real horses don’t do the twin thing that commonly. I hear tell they’re no closer to flight, tool usage, or arcane experimentation as well. Go figure.

@Millennial Dan  
Well I think he is right as well. But at least with this pic it isn’t completely ridiculous and is within the realm of possibility if she was with more than one foal.

@TorqueEffect  
Yeah, but they were pretty tiny at birth. MLP ponies are proportioned very differently from normal ponies, but still. I dunno, I think soundtea is probably right.

@TorqueEffect  
It’s mainly the proportions*

It’s main the proportions of the characters.
 
FiM Ponies are rather small compared to real ponies. Also it depends on twins, triplets or what have you. Sure I don’t think I have ever heard of a horse having twins, but in MLP we have already confirmed twins.

@Millennial Dan  
Simple, because fetishes.

@Background Pony #FFC0  
 
Gee, that was so hard. Nowhere in real life do you see anything like the above image for any type of horse.

@Millennial Dan  
You have never seen a real pregnant pony, have you?

@Millennial Dan  
because huge bellies are sexy

Why are pregnant ponies ALWAYS drawn with such huge bellies? Those proportions are crazy.

@redweasel  
this wouldn’t be the first one. What was that other OC? Bundle Joy, I think?

a… pregnancy cutie mark. that’s… something…
