BEING pregnant for the first time is magical, with many mums-to-be excitedly watching as their bumps get bigger and bigger.
One woman has broken the internet with her huge baby bump though and even joked that it is ‘dinosaur-sized’ after it left her struggling to walk.

Like many mums-to-be, Bianca had been documenting her pregnancy on social media and had no idea just how viral her videos would go.
Posting under the username @fowkey, the teacher showed off her perfectly round baby bump on TikTok.
Filmed during the final week of her pregnancy, she stared at her belly in utter disbelief at how her body had grown.
Showing her side profile, the big bump poked out of her pyjamas with the mum’s frame bending to support her growing babies.
While some mums might feel insecure about their pregnant body, this content creator could still see the funny side.
Poking fun at her huge belly, the voiceover said: “Explain this to me, why is it that damn big? It’s bigger than my face.
“I don’t know where it came from. I have never seen one this big… [its] damn dinosaur sized.”
In the caption, the proud mum also said that pregnancy had been ‘no joke’ and even filmed herself struggling to waddle – just before giving birth to her twin boys.
It seems she wasn’t the only one who was in awe of her blossoming baby bump as her video has been viewed over 1.2 million views on TikTok.
Many mums empathised in the comments, with some sharing their own stories about having multiple babies.
“I was a planet with legs I thought with my twins…I take that back,” commented one user, adding: “My girls were 6 pounds 12 & 6 pounds 14 at 36wks…that’s a big belly there though!”
Another wrote: “I will not complain about my bump being uncomfortable after seeing this.”
Other twin mums also couldn’t believe how big Bianca’s bump was, with a third saying: “OMG super women I was a 3rd of that size with my twins & they killed my back.”
Some even questioned how many babies the mum-to-be was having.
During another of her viral videos, showing her and her partner Arkheem, a fourth admitted that they thought the influencer was having triplets.

“Only twins…that looks like triplets,” they argued, with a fifth saying: “I thought she was having one huge baby lol.”
As people continued to comment on Bianca’s bump, some claimed that it was ‘satisfyingly round’ and looked ‘painful’ to carry.
Another even joked: “Oh those babies [are] livening it up in there.”
However, it was all worth it as the teacher welcomed two little boys, named Milo and Nalu, last month.
Congratulations to the new parents!

How big is your baby each week
Becoming a parent for the first time is exciting – many people want to know just how big their little one is every single week, and most of the time we measure them up against food.
- 4 weeks – poppy seed
- 6 weeks – baked bean
- 12 weeks – a small plum
- 15 weeks – an apple
- 23 weeks – a mango
- 28 weeks – a large aubergine
- 31 weeks – a coconut
- 35 weeks – honeydew melon
- 40 weeks – a small pumpkin
Why do baby bumps vary in size so much?
With bumps coming in all shapes and sizes, we delve into the science behind big baby bumps.
Unsurprisingly, there are many factors that can contribute to bump size and no two are the same.
For instance, it may take longer for your body to adjust and move your uterus out of your pelvis – especially if this is your first pregnancy.
Fitness and abdominal strength can also be a factor.
Some mums can also experience a condition called diastasis recti, which is when the muscles in the abdomen separate. When this happens, it can often cause the bump to look bigger.
The key thing to remember is that just like women, bumps come in all shapes and sizes.
