After a woman shared how pregnancy drastically changed her, including her skin getting darker, another comment read, “This is your real color… why is Nigerian women’s pregnancy always different?”

This remark dismisses the physical transformations many women experience during pregnancy, reducing it to a baseless stereotype. Pregnancy affects every woman differently, with changes in skin tone, weight, and appearance being common and normal. Such comments not only invalidate the woman’s experience but also promote ignorance about the complexities of pregnancy. Instead of making insensitive remarks, it’s essential to foster understanding and empathy for the unique challenges women face during this life-changing journey.
