Raise your hand if you’ll miss the delightful moments shared by Jenna Thompson as she navigates her pregnancy journey. Jenna’s candid reflections on motherhood are quickly becoming some of the most relatable content on the internet, even before her baby arrives. Instead of showcasing glamorous moments under perfect lighting, we witness a woman in her third trimester battling the simple task of putting on socks.
“If you’re pregnant like me and trying to put your socks on, it’s easy!” she quips, and you can’t help but chuckle. “First, the left foot. A bit uncomfortable, but manageable.” She continues, “Now for the right foot. Just slide your toe in. Easy peasy. Then you attempt to reach from the back, hook your toe, and slowly inch the sock up. And that’s what being pregnant looks like.”
If you haven’t checked out Jenna’s latest Netflix special, “Expecting,” you need to binge it ASAP. It’s a rollercoaster of laughter, touching on everything from the absurdities of pregnancy—like her struggles with hyperemesis gravidarum—to the quirks of marriage and friendship. “If you’re one of those lucky ones who enjoyed being pregnant, I just hope your car flips over,” she jokes, expressing the frustration many feel during this challenging time.
Many can relate; I’m currently navigating my own pregnancy, and I spent weeks battling nausea. Jenna is fearless in addressing the raw, unfiltered realities of pregnancy and even shares candid photos of herself in a park, playfully chasing ducks while embracing her body. “On a brisk morning, nothing feels better than chasing ducks with only a baby inside,” she shares.
Jenna’s authenticity reminds us of the importance of celebrating real moments, not just the polished images often seen in the media. We appreciate seeing celebrities indulge in life’s pleasures, like devouring doughnuts in their third trimester, rather than just perfectly staged photoshoots.
And for goodness’ sake, someone needs to help Jenna with her socks; her feet must be freezing!
