We all know that pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can bring with it a whole host of changes to a woman's body. Bigger breasts, stretch marks, perhaps a c-section scar - there are many ways you can expect your body to change when you have a baby.
But while the aforementioned changes seem pretty conventional - have you ever heard of a new mom who can squirt breastmilk from her armpit?!
Well, as it turns out - it's an actual thing.
One new mom took to TikTok to share her unique ability with her followers.
"Pls don’t let me have made this for nothing," the mom, who uses the handle @ollieoooop on the social media platform, writes in the caption.
Her video was a response to a fellow TikToker who asked: "What's a really weird thing that your body does that you're not sure anybody else's body does?"
Responding to the question, the mom says: "I've seen this video a million times and I don't know why it has just occurred to me that I have a reason to interact with it. I'm about to expose myself. Please be nice to me."
She then goes on to explain how moms who breastfeed might notice that when their breasts are engorged with milk, the tissue around their armpits starts to swell.
"Basically, you have breast tissue in your armpits and when you get engorged, sometimes that tissue swells," she said. "However, I am the only instance that I know of or that I can find of this specific thing that happens to my body."
The mom then reveals: "I can shoot milk out of my armpit. And if it wasn't disgusting enough just to hear it, I'm going to prove it."
And prove it, she certainly did. She squeezes her armpit for the camera and sure enough, actual milk starts squirting out.
"If you or someone you know can do this, please duet this because I can't be the only one," she concludes after her demonstration. "Please tell me I'm not the only one who could do this."
Interestingly, a number of the commenters assured the TikToker that she definitely wasn't the only one with this unique ability.
One person insisted: "You're not the only one! My friend frantically called the hospital after her son was born."
Another added: "YOURE NOT THE ONLY ONE MY MOM. She said she saw 6 doctors for it in 94 (when I was born) and she told me multiple times 'to prepare me'".
A third person shared: "I COULD DO THIS I THOUGHT I WAS ALONG I WAS AN OVERPRODUCER (still am technically since I stopped 8 months ago and still producing."
A different TikToker assured the mom: "You're definitely not the ONLY person but it's pretty rare! Congrats you're unique what a shock that was for you I'm sure."
So, what's the strangest thing your body can do? I bet it doesn't top this!
