A candid social media video has sparked widespread conversation after a woman from Moloto shared her dramatic physical changes before and during pregnancy, offering an honest look at how pregnancy affected her appearance.

In the clip, which she posted on January 21, 2026, under her social media handle @leratopebmagakwe, she contrasted footage of herself before pregnancy, where she appeared glowing and slim, with videos taken during her pregnancy.

Viewers are shown noticeable changes in her face, including a fuller nose, lips, and cheeks, as well as visible weight gain that left her looking markedly different from her pre-pregnancy self.

Sharing the video, @leratopebmagakwe used humour to address the transformation. In her caption, she wrote:

"I swear I’ll never heal 😂 ne nkare ke Zombie 😭😭😂😂," a light-hearted but emotional expression that resonated with many social media users who related to her experience.

The post quickly gained traction, with many women applauding her honesty and vulnerability. Several commenters shared their own pregnancy journeys, noting that physical changes such as facial swelling, weight gain, and skin changes are common during and after pregnancy due to hormonal shifts.

Others praised her for normalising conversations around the realities of pregnancy that are often glossed over online.

While some viewers reacted with humour, others used the opportunity to educate fellow users, pointing out that pregnancy affects every woman differently and that many changes are temporary.

The TikTok user @leratopebmagakwe's video has since sparked broader discussions about body image, postpartum recovery, and the pressure placed on women to "bounce back" after childbirth. Many online users encouraged the @leratopebmagakwe to be kinder to herself, reminding her that pregnancy is a demanding journey and that healing both physically and emotionally takes time.
