A pregnant woman's exuberant dance moves at a wedding have been cheered on by other women, after going viral on TikTok.
The woman, named Jacqueline Romney, made clear that she was not about to let a baby bump get in the way of her having fun at the recent event. The creator, known as @jacqsromney on the platform, had heard that being pregnant at weddings can be a pretty unpleasant experience, but showed that there is little truth to that with her joyous video.
The short clip, posted on May 19, showed Romney dancing energetically at the wedding, surrounded by a group of friends and beaming with joy. The post has since been viewed more than 644,000 times and liked by over 36,000 users, drawing an outpouring of support and amusement from viewers, many of whom could relate to what it is like attending large events while pregnant.

Viewers were able to see Romney dancing confidently and joyfully in a blue dress, showing no signs of discomfort. An overlaid text on the video read: "Them: OMG going to weddings when you're pregnant is the worst. Me:"
The video's comment section quickly lit up with praise and laughter. Several comments came from women who could relate to having had a great time at weddings and similar functions, despite preconceived ideas that they would struggle to feel comfortable and have fun.
"Replacing drinks for snacks has been so fun," one viewer said, while another added: "This was me at a Pitbull concert eating a Jimmy John's BLT."
"I got married at 34-weeks pregnant [and] had the time of my life," a third viewer shared.
"I have two weddings coming up and seeing this makes me so happy," another added.
Despite the overwhelmingly positive response to the clip, a number of TikTok users shared that they have had opposite experiences while pregnant and out and about at rowdy events.
"I was 27-weeks when I went and danced until midnight then went to bed and woke up with Braxton hicks contractions," one viewer said, while another added: "I overheat so easily at 28-weeks I wish this could be me but I'm a sweaty mess."
"I'm 22-weeks and was dancing like this at a festival and I swear I was so out of breath," another commented.
"I would've gone into labor," another said. "You go girl."
