A first-time mom has taken to TikTok to announce that “Pregnancy turned my nose into a balloon!” Gabriela Garrido’s startling transformation has shocked the internet after she revealed her schnozz had swollen by a third during her nine-month journey. She even revealed on social media the contrast between her pre- and post-pregnancy nose, which was…significant.
And apparently “pregnancy nose” is a real thing! Ohio State Health & Discovery links the phenomenon to hormonal changes, stating, “Estrogen dilates blood vessels, causing swelling around the entire body — including the nose.” As for how Garrido is holding up with her new look, she says, “All noses are beautiful. It’s ok to feel strange about your new nose, but it’s not ugly.”
