Capped these in July 2019 while at IKEA with my GF on our trip to get furniture right after moving to a new apt. in a larger metro area. recently dug them up and figured I'd share instead of mostly lurk, per usual.
She already had 2 restless boys with her that looked about 3 and 4 years old, and her belly was absolutely impossible not to immediately draw one's eyes toward it. These pics don't do it justice because I had to shoot low to stay discreet, but the best way I can describe that behemoth of an abdomen is that she was so visibly swollen to an unreasonable size/mass with her brood that it almost gave her a sense of having a mild, self-localized gravitational pull. One might say "that belly was loud"
This is sincerely not even just enthusiastic hyperbole. I try to get good candid shots of notably massive bellies, etc. whenever I can, but I'm not exaggerating when I say I've never been in the presence of a stranger before who was this massively heavy-with-child.
Realizing in hindsight that the man with her was also notably in the "Big and Tall" category, which could help explain her size. NGL she looked pretty damn worn-out/over it. I mean... if you've ever been in an IKEA you know it's a lot of walking, since you're essentially herded through a giant maze. And here she was at the end of said maze, after having trekked it while burdened with the weight of an extra soon-human + it's two (likely also engorged) sources of nutrition around, all while wearing sandals.
