On the 29th (local time), the UK-based The Sun reported that a woman named Edith, living in Mexico, became the center of attention when she was pregnant with her second set of twins. Edith shared her pregnancy journey on social networking services (SNS), and the video garnered more than 22 million views.

After giving birth to twin daughters in 2023, Edith became pregnant with twins again in less than a year. She recalled, "During my first pregnancy, the size of my belly was relatively normal, but the second time was completely different." Viewers who saw Edith’s belly in the video left various reactions such as, "It looks like she is pregnant with quintuplets," "It seems like you could fit two two-year-olds inside," "Maybe there’s even a golf course for the babies in there," and "Her husband should apologize."

Edith did not carry either pregnancy to full term. Her first set of twins was born four weeks early, and her second set was born five weeks early. She said, "Looking back at the video now, I can’t believe I actually went through all of that."

However, Edith confessed that even though she exercises five times a week, her belly has not returned to its previous state. She added, "I am currently considering abdominal plastic surgery."

Experts explained that there are various reasons why a pregnant woman's belly may become exceptionally large during pregnancy. The pregnancy and parenting media outlet 'BabyCenter' analyzed that factors such as polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid) or macrosomia (a fetus larger than average) could play a role. However, they also clarified that a larger belly does not always mean the fetus has a high birth weight, nor does belly size always correspond directly to the actual size of the baby.

Additionally, a significantly enlarged belly can affect the physical recovery process after childbirth. As in Edith's case, excessive stretching and sagging can be difficult to restore with exercise alone.

Furthermore, the UK pregnancy and newborn charity Tommy’s added that during a second pregnancy, the abdominal muscles stretched by the first pregnancy can cause the belly to expand faster and larger. However, it is also reported that, as a result, the labor process tends to be about three hours shorter on average compared to a first-time pregnancy.
