Pregnant
women have the most attractive bellies, in my opinion. To remember the
time when they were anxiously anticipating the newest member of their family,
the majority of expectant parents take pictures of the mom’s expanding belly.
Renae
W, a TikToker, was met with skepticism and a doctor who started questioning her
when she decided to post about her pregnancy and her enormous belly on social
media.
But
when it came time for her to deliver, Renae would ultimately put all skeptics
to rest.

All
mothers can undoubtedly testify to the incredible, albeit a bit scary, feeling
that comes with sensing their baby’s movements in their belly.
Pregnancy can
affect all women differently. Some can lay bedridden for days on end, unable to
keep meals down. Others, meanwhile, can be more active and productive than ever
before.
When
mother Renae W from the U.S. became pregnant for the sixth time in her life,
she was very active, and started posting pictures of her pregnant tummy on the
social networking platform TikTok.
Renae
initially posted videos about her recovery and journey towards a sober life,
but she shifted focus after she became pregnant.

One
of the reasons she got so much attention, and soon amassed a large following,
was her giant belly.
The
first videos she published didn’t get that much engagement, but as time went on
and her belly continued to grow, Renae began to get millions of video views on
her channel. Many were convinced that she had an army of children in her womb –
some speculated that she might be carrying as many as eight babies.
For
her part, Renae was sure that there was only one baby in her womb.
”Yes
it’s just one. I’m sure,” she said in one of her videos.

The
mother of four gave no medical explanation for her giant stomach –which led to
even more rumors and theories. Previously, we’ve seen cases where polyhydramnios, extra
fluid, or gestational diabetes can be the cause of an extra large baby bump.
According to Renae, though, despite people’s comments and what doctors thought,
everything was normal.
“I
had an ultrasound not that long ago, fluid is normal, baby is measuring a week
and four days ahead,” she said.
Still,
some people could not help but comment – they felt a need to criticize the
mother. One doctor, who one would assume is supposed to be supportive,
expressed concern for Renae. The medical expert was obviously quite shocked
when seeing pictures of her belly, and said that the mother-to-be should be
worried.

Renae,
who suffered a miscarriage before falling pregnant again, felt that she had to
reply and address that comment in particular. She felt as though the doctor
commenting that her belly shouldn’t be that big, despite the fact she and her
baby were healthy, was too far.
”As
a doctor, you should be ashamed of yourself for this video, especially when I’m
not your patient,” she wrote.
According
to Renae, her short height made her stomach look bigger than it actually was.

When
she gave birth to another son a few years ago, he weighed 9lb and 6oz. Despite
this, Renae’s followers could hardly believe that there was only one baby
inside that gigantic belly of hers. Many were left lost for words.
One
wrote: ”I swear you have like 4 twins in there.“
Another
user said: “There’s a full grown adult in there.“
“He’s
gonna come out 30 years old with a credit score of 800,” one user joked.

During
her well-documented pregnancy, she gained 35 pounds. Viewers got to watch as
her belly expanded bit by bit. When Renae uploaded a video at 37-weeks
pregnant, it ended up getting a whopping 37 million views. Fortunately, some
people stepped up and defended the mother.
“Every
women carries differently. Every pregnancy is different. Every pregnancy is
unique!” one woman wrote.
Another
added: “I can’t believe he would even say that to you knowing absolutely
nothing about your pregnancy.”

On
February 18, it was time to silence those who refused to believe that Renae was
carrying just one baby. She gave birth to her big boy via a scheduled
C-section.
The
newborn baby weighed 9lb 8oz and was 22 & 1/2 inches tall. According to
Renae, her son also inherited a “big head” from his dad, measuring 15 inches
around. Most important of all though, her baby boy came into the world healthy.
“When
your son comes out hand first looking like Superman flying,” she wrote in
February. “Yeah I said son, just one big healthy baby boy.”

Although
her big belly caused some problems and complications in Renae’s life, she came
to miss the baby bump once her son was born. It felt ”weird” not having her
bump anymore, the mother said.
Her
followers were also curious about her stomach after the birth. Eleven weeks
after her C-section, Renae showed off her belly and responded to the critical
voices that reappeared in her comments.
“Five
days after my c-section. The only weight I lost was my 9lb 8oz baby and another
5 and a half pounds,” she said.
“I
don’t get why people don’t understand that everyone carries different. I’m
short and carry all out front. I’ve been told you ruined your body, and ‘your
stretch marks are gonna be so bad afterwards’. The truth is I don’t care
because my body blessed me with five amazing kids and an angel baby. I love my
body and the amazing things it has done.”

To
show the size of her baby, Renae published videos of her holding her precious
baby in her arms.
