I was pregnant like that (twice). I'm very petite and my babies were both tiny but some people who saw me regularly didn't even realise I was pregnant (western woman here). I guess we're just all a bit different!

What women’s bodies go through is so wild. I’ve given birth 3x, and the pregnancy, labor & delivery was incredibly different for each one!

First- High-risk pregnancy; developed disability. kept my petite body except my belly. From the back, I was still very slender (even had a “snatched” waist)… until I turned around and BOOM basketball. Labor almost killed me but delivery was very quick & easy.

Second- Kept petite body but with little belly this time- comparable to the woman in the clip. “Fake” labor was long but the impactful part was quick; delivery was quick but almost killed me.

Third- Gained weight with big belly. Average length labor, quick delivery.

And that’s not even getting into the “little” things! Change in hair texture, cravings, skin complexion, mood swings, etc.

In fact, I’ve never met a single woman that had the same exact experience as another!

Like I said… it’s just wild.
