Pregnancy is one of the most magical and glorious things a woman can experience in life.
But the changes to one’s body can take some getting used to.
And pregnancy affects every woman differently.
Pregnancy can change the way your body and face look in all kinds of different ways.
Pregnancy can change your shoe, nose, and even breast size.
But most of us think of a big ole’ baby bump when we think of pregnant women.
Women are expected to gain weight during pregnancy which can range anywhere from 11 to 40 pounds based on whether a mother was underweight, average weight, overweight, or obese before she was pregnant, the Mayo Clinic reports.

But women will often carry that weight in different ways. Some women look obviously pregnant when they are carrying, for others their pregnancy is almost unnoticeable.
A man, who goes by tyleryoungblood on Reddit, has one of those wives who barely looks pregnant when she’s pregnant. She slimed right down after giving birth. Like within 24 hours.
Our baby announcement photo. My wife looked so obnoxiously thin 24 hours after delivery that I joked I looked like the one who had just delivered. So we decided to swap for a funny photo.

“The pic was taken about 24 hours after birth. Vaginal birth with an epidural. But yea, she is still pretty epic in my eyes. I’d be bedridden for days!” he said.
In fact, her husband looked like he had just given birth rather than her.
He thought it was so hilarious that he decided that he was going to create a fun twist on he and his wife’s birth announcement.
Instead of his wife in the hospital bed in her hospital gown, the picture shows him in the bed with a gown and cap holding their daughter as his wife stands by his side looking perfect. He posted it on Reddit and people went wild.

Technically, it’s not that strange that he looks like the one who gave birth.
A 2009 study found that men also gain weight when their partner is pregnant.
Men actually can gain an average of 14 pounds.

The study found that most of these men gain weight because they are keeping up with their wives’ pregnancy cravings and changing eating habits or that they are doing it to make their partner feel better about their own weight gain.
But that photo of tyleryoungblood was taken about four years ago. He’s lost about 40 pounds and has had three children since then.
He says he is surprised about what a big reaction his photo is getting since he recently posted it.
It had more than 156,000 upvotes on Reddit.
“The completely unexpected popularity of this post has stunned me,” he said on Reddit.
His wife’s old students have been reaching out to comment on the post and others have been commenting and saying all sorts of nice things.
“Including my mom, who is visiting for the holidays and had never heard of Reddit. But now has an account because she wanted to thank the person who complimented the baby blanket she had made. That compliment made her misty-eyed. A total stranger had complimented her and it completely made her day. This whole thing has been a really fun experience for me and my family.”
