TikTok user’s pregnancy pictures gives fellow users a jump scare- ‘I thought it was the baby daddy’

TikTok user @Sebo739 has quickly become the talk of the town after her submission to the ‘post yourself before, during and after pregnancy’ trend has gone viral on various social media platforms.

Social media platforms such as TikTok have become a place where a plethora of fun little creative challenges for all who wish to participate to do so have become prevalent. These challenges range from dancing, singing, and even lifestyle-related content, and have managed to unite communities that would have never gotten a chance to interact or share common interests had it not been for the advancement of technology and these apps.

Joining the popular trend, Sebo hopped on her TikTok to share pictures of herself before, during, and after her pregnancy, as per the rules of the challenge. Her picture during her pregnancy is what captured the attention of some internet users who expressed shock at the drastic change in her physical appearance caused by pregnancy. These users revealed that at first glance, they thought the picture she shared was of her child’s father instead, as they could not fathom that pregnancy had the power to do something like this.

These users have gathered under the comments section to console each other as they find out they are not alone in thinking that one of the pictures Sebo posted was of the child’s father.

Some of these users have revealed that there is a theory that sometimes the father’s DNA that makes up the foetus is able to mix with the mother’s, thus allowing her to take on some of the male’s physical characteristics. Sebo’s theory appears to fit into this theory as she later provided an update revealing her partner, and the resemblance had internet users shook and believing that there is some truth to the theory.
