“There’s no way that’s the same person,” wrote one user after seeing the drastic transformation that Botle, a South African woman, underwent upon entering the third trimester of her pregnancy.
For many mothers, carrying a baby often comes with a slew of positive appearance benefits such as glowing skin, rosy cheeks, and shiny hair. For others, such as Botle, the changes can be disastrous.
The woman, who has been documenting her progress on TikTok, went viral after uploading a shocking before-and-after, where she went from having a fairly aesthetic face to sporting a massively enlarged nose, acne, dark spots, and puffy eyes.
