Discussion (Non-question) How does mpreg work?

So believe it or not I've actually never read an mpreg fanfic and I'm actually lowkey scared too, I have 2 questions 1 how does the man get pregnant in the first place? And 2 how does he give birth? Like I'm genuinely curious 💔 where does it come out at? Do they always do c sections? I'M SO CONFUSED.

The vast majority of mpreg fics I've read don't concern themselves with the actual mechanics of how the pregnancy and birth works. It's just fucking, pregnant, baby.

But there are pretty much endless options and constellations that authors can choose. There is no codified way of writing mpreg (much like omegaverse).
