TikTok is back with another absurd beauty standard as a recent trend captures just how much pregnancy can change the shape and size of an expectant person’s nose. Videos showing before and after “pregnancy nose” are stirring the pot online, with commenters left aghast at the drastic cosmetic difference — […]
