In an exclusive comment to Briefly News, Tebogo Mabala, whose body also drastically changed during pregnancy, says:

"I never thought I would be one of those people who gained a lot of weight during pregnancy, but I did. I've gained close to 25 kilograms and I felt like my body was completely out of control. I was so self-conscious and I hated the way I looked. I know it's all for a good reason, but it's was hard to adjust to.
"I was so grateful to be pregnant, but I was also struggling with the changes to my body. I felt like I've lost control of my body. I was trying to be positive, but it's hard sometimes. Its true what this lady says, pregnancy can truly humble you, but seeing my daughter now it was worth it."
