A MUM-TO-BE has revealed what it's like being plus-size and pregnant, with strangers constantly questioning her.

Baby bumps come in all shapes and sizes, but 25-year-old TikTok user Adelia (@adelialaughs) claimed that people never think she's pregnant – in their eyes, she's simply fat.

The young mum-to-be, from the US, took to TikTok to talk more about the continuous trolling by random people.

''One thing about pregnancy I really didn't realise would affect me the way that it has, has been the size and shape of my bump.

''I'm almost eight months now and still I'll have interactions with people where I'll mention that I'm pregnant and then they're surprised.''

She went on to add in the video that it's not their surprise that bothered her – it's the remarks that tend to follow afterwards.

'' 'Oh, you don't look pregnant' or 'You're that far along?' ''

Urging everyone to think twice before making any comments or assumptions, Adelia said such remarks on anyone's bump, no matter their size, were ''weird''.

''This isn't an exclusive issue to plus-size pregnancy – all sorts of pregnant people can have all different kinds of bumps, starting sizes, whatever.''

Speaking on how it's affected her mental and emotional health, Adelia said the nasty trolling has changed the way she feels about her pregnancy.

''When I first found out I was pregnant, I was so excited for this divine, feminine moment of celebrating my body and what it can do.

''I feel like the comments have honestly invalidated that feeling that I desire.''

The mum-to-be ended the clip with a positive message: ''Maybe let's stop commenting in women's bodies.

''Whether you're pregnant or you're not, it's weird.''

Fellow mums-to-be flocked to comments to share their experience, with one urging: ''The only appropriate comment is congratulations.''

''For real! I have a B belly so I just catch people long staring like they’re trying to figure out if it’s baby or not still at 32 weeks,'' another penned.

Someone else added: ''37 weeks and still get the “oh wow you can’t even tell, I would have never known” comment, and it really hurts me every time.''

''My dad’s side of the family said “You HAVE to be having triplets” when I got further along in my pregnancy.

''Nope. Just a big boy,'' a fourth hit back.

Speaking of parenting, one mum revealed her 11-month-old as so big, people reckoned he was her bodyguard.

Nabille McHugh's baby son Atlas has become somewhat of an internet sensation due to his impressive size.

Although not much is known about his weight at the time of birth, the 31-year-old mum, from the US, confirmed he weighed over 1 stone at just four months.

Seeing Atlas' natural build, social media users were baffled, wondering how the petite mum managed to squeeze him out at the time of his birth.

Nabille even chuckled saying the young boy is so heavy, she can use him for at-home workouts, lifting the chunky Atlas for toned arms.

However, as well as shoulder pain she now experiences due to carrying him around, the mum has also been subjected to trolling online.

Many reckon Nabille must be feeding him excessively – one person, who's now deleted their comment, said: ''Making your child fat because you love them.''

However, the mum doesn't seem to mind – she chuckled, saying that means there's ''more to love''.

''My squishy for life.''

Describing the little tot, who she reckoned is big enough to be her bodyguard, the mum said: ''I don't have a normal toddler. I have an Atlas.

''He screams until he throws up if he can't reach something.

''He's fluent in sarcasm. He's a lawyer.

''He's the first one to wake up in the house and makes my coffee in the morning.''

Nadille added: ''I just luvvss him [sic].''

Of course, people on social media were totally obsessed with the chunky tot, with thousands flocking to comments.

''We love and support this and all big babies!!'' a fan exclaimed.

''The baby does look cuddly and cute,'' a second couldn't get over how adorable Atlas was.
