A TikTok user has gone viral over her eye-popping childbirth experience.
Bethany Collins, 23, told her followers that she pushed so hard during labor that one of her eyes actually “popped out” – but said it went back to normal six weeks later.
In a photograph she shared of herself at the hospital, her left eye is seen bulging out of her head.
“My doctor said, ‘Wow, I’ve never seen this happen before’, but now I have Miss Phoebe,” the new mom captioned her post.
During the strain of childbirth, women may experience bloodshot eyes, according to the website BabyCenter
.
“Pushing and straining raise your blood pressure, which can cause broken capillaries and red eyes. But don’t worry – bloodshot eyes are generally harmless and resolve within two weeks,” according to the outlet.
But despite her more extreme eye episode, Collins suffered no long-term effects.
Meanwhile, fellow mothers shared their own experiences.
“Omg! My eyes bleed because I pushed so hard. I looked so scary,” one wrote.
“This is why I closed my eyes,” another said.
A third added: “Reasons not to get pregnant.”
