Like many moms-to-be, 28-year-old Farah thought she’d enjoy that famous pregnancy “glow.” But instead, she found herself dealing with a completely different reality—one that left her face swollen, her nose throbbing, and her self-confidence shaken.
Farah’s honest, unfiltered photos of her changing face quickly went viral, sparking an outpouring of support from women who had been through the same thing. The post highlighted a lesser-known side of pregnancy—the not-so-pretty symptoms no one talks about.
While we often hear about morning sickness, weight gain, and weird cravings, facial swelling and inflammation don’t usually make the list. Farah’s experience reminds us that every pregnancy is different—and sometimes, it’s a lot more raw and real than we expect.
