Expectant Mom "Hides" Her Massive Pregnant Belly By Sucking It In

Expectant Mom "Hides" Her Massive Pregnant Belly By Sucking It In

When you're a first-time mom, it can take several weeks before your pregnancy becomes noticeable to other people. Sometimes, pregnant women don't have a super visible "bump" until 5-6 months, but others start showing much earlier.

26-year-old Mariah Simon is already a mom of four boys and she's pregnant with her fifth child, a girl.

While some people love showing off their pregnant bellies, Mariah has taken a different approach by sucking her belly in to make it less noticeable.

Simon has kids ranging in age from 18 months to 6 years old. Considering how young she is and how many kids she already has, it's no surprise that she gets some side-eye looks when people discover she's expecting another child.

According to the New York Post, she explained that she sucks her pregnant belly in as a way to hide it from judgemental comments. She said, "I've always sucked in my stomach. I've done it during all of my pregnancies. This isn't my first rodeo."

She went on to say, "At the beginning of this pregnancy, I wanted to keep it a secret because I didn't want to hear any negativity about having baby No. 5. So, I spent a lot of time sucking my stomach in, and because my muscles are so tight down there, you really can't see the [baby bump]."

Simon has taken to TikTok to show off her "sucked in" pregnant belly and people can't believe their eyes. She really makes it look like she's not pregnant!
