A WOMAN has left people stunned after showing how her nose "triples in size" when she's pregnant.
Alex Jacobson took to TikTok to share a video in which she explained the phenomenon that happened during her first pregnancy.
"So in my first pregnancy I couldn’t wear my wedding rings, even in my second trimester and especially not the third.
"And I feel like I just swelled a lot in general.
"Like, I got the worst ‘pregnancy nose’ my first pregnancy."
