Have you ever wondered why pregnant women have bigger noses? Well, most experience swollen noses when the universe conspires to use them as vessels to bring life into the world. Nursing bigger noses brings with it self-esteem challenges while others make fun of the situation to cope. Still, others claim the swelling of the nose is indicative of the baby’s gender.

Radio Maisha mid-morning presenter Gathoni Njuguna recalls that no sooner had she gained some pregnancy glow in 2018 than her nose “decided to have a life of its own”. She decided to make fun of it on social media, saying she could even smell the sins people had not committed.
