A MUM-TO-BE has left women “scared to get pregnant” after showing off her humungous baby bump.
Carla took to her TikTok page to share a video of herself wearing a brown crop top and matching low-slung skirt.
The ensemble drew attention to Carla’s massive bump, which she clutched as she danced around.
In the caption, Carla revealed she’s only “34 weeks” along in the pregnancy.
“34 weeks or 34 years!?” one person commented on the clip.
“Tell me you are having quintuplets?” another added.
To which someone else said: “She’s having twins.”
“What twin toddlers?” another replied.
“Mama, you won, please rest!” someone else commented.
While others admitted the video had actually put them off getting pregnant themselves.
“Am I the only one got scared to get pregnant????” one asked.
“This healed me from baby fever,” another added.
“Ok, I’m not getting pregnant – I changed my mind!” a third insisted.
“Yea…. I think I’ll just adopt a baby,” someone else wrote.
“I don’t wanna be in this situation, frrrrr,” another commented.
“Still want one?” someone else added, tagging their friend.
In another TikTok video, Carla revealed that her twins’ due date is 9th July.
She also said that the pair – a boy and a girl – will be named Kail and Kyanis.
How do women's figures change after giving birth?
TO SAY the body changes during pregnancy and childbirth is an understatement.
Throughout the nine months it takes for the body to bring a baby into the world, it goes through some huge physical changes.
Considering how different the body looks during pregnancy, it’s not surprising that there are some lasting changes.
And it some ways, it never does, Doctor Rachel Ward, a GP at Woodlands Medical Centre, Derby, said.
1. Wider ribcage and hips
“During pregnancy in order to accommodate a growing baby and prepare for giving birth, our body produces a hormone called relaxin,” she explained.
Relaxin works by increasing the flexibility and movement in our joints and ligaments.
“Many women find that after pregnancy the shape of their pelvis and ribcage remains different,” Dr Rachel said.
It is common to need a different bra size due to a change in chest circumference, the expert said.
“This is a reminder of the changes your body made to accommodate your baby and is nothing to be worried about,” she added.
2. Change in skin colour
During pregnancy, most women experience skin changes as it stretches to accommodate your bump and enlarging breasts.
“It is not uncommon to develop stretch marks.
“Though they will often fade over time and become a shiny pale colour, depending on your skin tone they will not go away completely,” Dr Rachel said.
“Some people do not like the way stretch marks look but they are an incredibly common change that we see in many people,” she added.
3. A change in breast shape
Breasts increase in size during pregnancy as the breast tissue prepares to produce milk.
And shortly after birth they will start to produce milk and become swollen, Dr Ward explained.
“If you choose to breast feed or not, it is likely that the shape, size and way your breasts look and feel will be different after pregnancy compared to before,” she added.
“This is not a problem but it is important that we do learn what the new normal is for our breasts so we can stay breast aware and pick up and changes that could be cancer.”
People also hit back at trolls marvelling at the size of Carla’s bump, with one writing: “Do you not read the caption?
“She’s having twins ya’ll be so easy to judge.
“Look at the search thing and if you can’t read translate!
“She looks beautiful ppl can be rude af!”
Carla has been keeping her fans updated on social media throughout her pregnancy.
She’s also been sharing size comparisons between the babies in utero and various vegetables.
And at 30 weeks, they were the same size as “two heads of cauliflower”.
Now she’s at 34 weeks, each baby is around the size of a cantaloupe melon.
