I pretend to be pregnant when I’m just bloated – people give up their seats so me and my food baby happily accept
A WOMAN who gets incredibly bloated after having gluten has revealed that she pretends to be pregnant.
And her act is so convincing that she’s even had people give up their seats for her because they think she’s expecting.
Jem took to TikTok to share a video of herself wearing low-slung jeans and a figure-hugging grey vest top.
The ensemble drew attention to her belly, with Jem playing along by placing her hand gently on top of the “bump“.
“When I eat gluten and get my bloated belly in public, so I just act like I’m pregnant,” she wrote over the top of the clip.
“Sometimes I wonder if I’m a real person!” Jem captioned her video.
And people were quick to comment on her food baby, as one wrote: “You look good pregnant too!
“What if someone from you’re family sees you?” another asked.
To which someone else replied: “I’m sure her family knows she has a gluten problem!”
“Plot twist, you find out tomorrow you’re actually 5 months pregnant,” a third commented.
“It’s getting so bad my dad gets scared every time I get done eating!” someone else wrote.
“I’ve done this before. I can go from flat stomach to looking 5 months pregnant quickly!” another added.
“Some foods HURT!”
“Stoppppp,” someone else said.
“I wore a long black dress to a gender reveal and was bloated my sister done told me I look like I’m pregnant too.
“She’s 5. I almost broke character!”
“Have done this in public transport, and someone offered me his seat!” another wrote.
With Jem adding to Fabulous that someone has also offered her their seat when she was with her “food baby” but she said she was “okay”
“I did thissss all the time now I’m actually pregnant!” another said.
“I thought I was the only person who did this – but I add the wobble walk,” someone else admitted.
“Glad I’m not the only one – I embrace it and pretend I’m the cutest preggo ever!” another laughed.
“Better bump than me and there’s an actual kid in mine,” someone else said.
“For though, that looks painful girl!”
“I get like this with everything I eat, it’s so scary,” another admitted.
As someone else said: “Literally ANYTHING will bloat me!”
“This literally happens to me,” another wrote.
“Finally stopped eating rice and bread”.
