Trying to put this politely, yet from my understanding, it's because the women are a bit massive.

@DeWayfarer There might be some like that but it is a known medical condition.
Looking at the picture, she does not appear to be obese.
Albeit rare.
Cryptic or stealth pregnancies — where a woman is unaware she is pregnant until late into gestation or during labor.

@Gusman yes she’s very heavy

@Jenny1234 Yes. Somehow that picture eluded me.
