It all started with one post.

On January 20,Twitter user Fatimah posted a picture of her bloated belly and wrote: 'I can't be the only one that gets extremely bloated and starts imagining myself being pregnant??'

Soon girls from all over started reacting to the post by sharing their own pictures of bloated bellies calling it absolutely normal.

Food babies

'I've been waiting for this moment' Valerie, another woman wrote.

'Bloated not pregnant,' a user named SisiYemmie shared.

As the conversation picked up, the sisterhood gave it a cute name -- 'food babies.'

Turns out, most women face bloated bellies and the bump makes it look like they're pregnant.

Now, we've all been there, haven't we?
