A woman who became known online for the noticeable change in her appearance during pregnancy has attracted attention again, this time by showing step-by-step the process of recovering after giving birth.
Known on social media as Lala, she became a topic of discussion after photos published during her pregnancy showed her face puffy, swollen, and visibly older.
The altered appearance sparked speculation, with some blaming cosmetics, while others alluded to supernatural causes.
In a reaction on the X platform, Lala explained that the changes were a result of pregnancy hormones, a common and temporary condition.
"This will pass. It's just pregnancy hormones. It really bothered me when people said it was 'mental illness' or blamed the products I was using. To all the new moms or anyone else going through the same thing, don't worry," she wrote.
After giving birth, Lala began treatment for skin inflammation, sharing updates on day 7, day 21, and day 27 after giving birth, where significant improvement in the condition was noted.
Among the treatments she underwent were Fotona Rosacea Laser to reduce redness and inflammation, as well as the use of antibiotics, topical creams and a specially formulated night cream. However, she stressed that she is avoiding oral medications due to her baby's history of jaundice.
In online comments, many women shared similar experiences during pregnancy, offering support and applauding her courage to openly share this period.
Lala's story has been praised for raising awareness and reassuring expectant mothers that such physical changes are normal, temporary, and should not cause shame.
