Video of a pregnant woman's baby bump goes viral for being bigger than Ben Hur: "There's a full grown adult in there!"
Pregnancy is one of those things described as an equally beautiful AND horrid experience.
Sure, you're creating and baking a new life inside of you, but you're also stuck with cankles, cravings, back pains and an evergrowing weight strapped to your torso.
For some, this weight may swell up more than others, creating something akin to a 2-bedroom-apartment in your tummy for little bub to enjoy.
However, one woman's baby in the US has clearly demanded a 3-winged-mansion to grow in, as her baby bump is incredibly huge!
Clearly aware of her abnormal size, the mum named Renae posting a video to TikTok.
In the short clip, she can be seen lipsyncing the words, "Oh hey, thanks for checking in. I'm still super f**king pregnant."
The expecting mother, who was 37 weeks pregnant at the time, announced she couldn't wait to meet her little bub and confirmed, "yes it's just one. I'm sure gonna miss my #BigBump."
@mommy1987003 #37weekspregnant tomorrow!! Can’t wait to meet my #rainbowbaby in 18 days, yes it’s just one. I’m sure🌈🤰🏼🥰 gonna miss my #bigbump ♬ Im Still Super Fkn Pregnant - Chloe
@mommy1987003 Can’t wait to see my #babyboy !! Love being #pregnant but so ready to hold my baby boy in my arms!! #39weekspregnant ♬ original sound - Renae W
Amassing over 2.5 million likes, the video has prompted some jovial responses from viewers.
"I swear you have like 4 twins in there," wrote one user.
"Bro gonna come out with a college degree," quipped another.
"You got a whole NFL player in there," added someone else.
Another wrote, "gonna come out 12 years older than she is."
While most comments were light-hearted, there were several that suggested the large bump might point to a high-risk pregnancy.
One Dr Michael Narvey even responded with a video of his own, expressing his concern around particular issues associated with large bumps.
So, Renae did what we all would've. She posted another video responding to the doubters.
"I've stated in several of my videos [that] I don't have polyhydramnios or extra fluid or gestational diabetes."
"I had an ultrasound not that long ago, fluid is normal, baby is measuring a week and 4 days ahead."
She also confirmed that she has a doctor who specialises in "high-risk" pregnancies, and that viewers should be "ashamed" for "saying a belly shouldn't be that big, when me and baby are healthy."

Thankfully, the bub was born healthy, and is Renae's 5th child. Yes, he was a big bub and his head measured 15 inches at birth. Ouch.
Renae claims that with her head only measuring 21 inches as an adult, he definitely "got his big head from his daddy."

American actress Kate McKinnon has given us Aussies a belly laugh after admitting she fell in love with our most hated bird, the Bin Chicken, while filming Tiger King spin-off series Joe vs Carole in Queensland.
That’s right, she thought the annoying, food-snatching, garbage-tossing, villainous Ibis was “majestic” and “gorgeous”.
She revealed her hilarious love-at-first-sight encounter on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and did a pretty good Aussie accent as she told the tale.
“My first day there I was walking on the street and I saw what I thought was the most beautiful bird I’ve ever seen in my life,” she explained, referring to a gigantic bird with “a beautiful white plumage and a long elegant beak” flapping on the sidewalk.
“And I was like, ‘What is this majestic heron just loose in the street? My God I’ve been blessed here, this is a sight!”
When she asked a guy “What is this gorgeous bird?!” she was shocked to discover it was called a bin chicken and that we Aussies absolutely hate them.
Check out her hilarious story:
Now we want to bring Kate back to Australia and introduce her to all our weird and wonderful native animals - a Tassie Devil, a cockatoo, a platypus - and get her to give us her thoughts on them. It could become a new reality TV show: Kate commentates on Australia. And then we can send her in search of our elusive Drop Bear!
And she'd be right at home, as Kate told Fallon she picked up our lingo while she was here, explaining to him and the audience our love of abbreviating words like sunglasses to sunnies and mosquitoes to mozzies.
Joe vs Carole premieres on Stan on March 4
In the meantime, we get to see Kate in the Stan series Joe vs Carole from March 4, which is based on the Wondery podcast Joe Exotic: Tiger King.
When Carole Baskin, a big cat enthusiast, learns that when fellow exotic animal lover Joe "Exotic" Schreibvogel is breeding and using his big cats for profit, she sets out to shut down his venture, inciting a quickly escalating rivalry. But Carole has a checkered past of her own and when the claws come out, Joe will stop at nothing to expose what he sees as her hypocrisy.
It's going to be a ride! And there'll be no bin chickens in sight!

A security guard contracted to an art gallery deliberately ruined a $1.4m artwork on his first day of work. Can you spot what he did?
Three Figures, a painting from the early 1930s created by Russian artist, Anna Leporskaya, was on display at the Yeltsin Center in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
It was a part of a special exhibition titled, ‘The World as Non-Objectivity. The Birth of a New Art’.
The piece of art was on loan from the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, and was allegedly insured for around $1.4 million.
During his first shift at the Yeltsin Center, a security guard decided to doodle on the artwork out of sheer boredom.
The employee was hired by an external security company, and reportedly used a ballpoint pen to make an unwelcome addition to the painting.
Can you spot the difference?

Yep, the security guard decided two pairs of eyes would complete the piece.
The guard drew dotted eyes on two of the three figures with a pen.
According to Daily Mail Online, "it was two eagle-eyed exhibition visitors who spotted the added-on eyes to two of the three faceless figures on the 1930s painting."
The guard was - understandably - let go.
Onlookers have commented on the remixed version of Three Figures, with one Twitter user suggesting that the culprit should've used "googly eyes" instead of a biro.
Another admitted that they actually "like it better with the eyes."

Since the incident in early December last year, the Yeltsin Center has released a statement:
“We inform you that during the investigation, the person who painted the eyes on the figures in the painting by Anna Leporskaya was identified — this is an employee of a private security organization that carries out security activities of the Yeltsin Center.
Recall that on December 7, 2021, during the demonstration of the exhibition ‘The World as Non-Objectiveness. The Birth of a New Art’ in the Art Gallery of the Yeltsin Center suffered a painting by Anna Leporskaya ‘Three Figures’ (1932–1934) from the collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery. The damage was done with a ballpoint pen.”
In what is now an odd coincidence given the current unrest in Eastern Europe, the Soviet avant-garde artist responsible for the esteemed painting was actually born in Ukraine in February 1900, and 82 years later died in Russia.
She was a recipient of many awards, including Honored Artist of the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic
Thankfully the damage to Leporskaya's artwork is reversible, with the complete restoration process costing approximately $5,000.
