A father-to-be has taken to social media to share a simple technique that partners of pregnant women can do in order to relieve them of pain.
As many women out there know all too well, the last few months of pregnancy come will seemingly unrelenting aches and pains.
And it is no surprise - when you're carrying the additional weight of another human, you're back is going to be sore.
Thankfully, one TikToker has shared a video showing a very simple technique that partners can to alleviate that constant feeling of heaviness.
Sharing the video under the handle @daddynewb, the dad-to-be captioned the clip: "find a pregnant lady and hold her belly".
Then, speaking to his 38,000+ followers, the TikToker says: "If you wanna do a favor for that pregnant lady, you're going to gently lift her belly up, you’re gonna hold maybe 10-15 pounds," he explains.
"And then when she's ready, you’re gonna gently lower it back down."
As of this writing, the video has received over 3 million likes and 10,000 comments - many of which were from sympathetic TikTok users.
One social media user commented: "Watching her straighten her back... that is the best feeling in the world I can see the relief."
In fact, one doula who uses the social media platform under the handle @theneighborlywombwitch commented that it is actually a really helpful labor technique.
"This is really effective in helping baby engage during labor. Called an abdominal tuck. Do it through ten contractions," she wrote.
Perhaps what is more entertaining is seeing how many people were only just discovering that a pregnant woman's bump could move in such a way:
