A mother’s love is often seen as unconditional—especially when it comes to her child’s appearance. But a young mother in the United Kingdom shocked the internet with her honest and emotional first reaction after childbirth.
“His Nose Is So Ugly”: Jess Shares Raw Post-Birth Moment
Jess, a 20-year-old from the UK, had been eagerly waiting nine months and endured hours of labor pain. But her emotional anticipation took a surprising turn the moment she laid eyes on her newborn.
In a video she shared online—which has now gone viral—Jess admitted her initial reaction was far from what most would expect. Upon seeing her baby, she said through tears, “His nose is so ugly. He is so ugly.”
Social Media Reactions: “You Are the Child’s First Bully”
The video quickly drew attention on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Many viewers were critical of Jess’s raw honesty. One user wrote, “You are the child’s first bully.” Another commented, “This is really very cruel.” A third user added, “Imagine if the child comes to know that you made fun of him just after birth, poor thing.”
Despite the backlash, some defended her vulnerability, pointing out that hormonal shifts after childbirth can affect emotional responses.
Jess Reflects: “I Was Overwhelmed”
Jess later acknowledged the intensity of her feelings, attributing her reaction to the overwhelming emotions and hormonal changes that come with giving birth. Within hours, she said her perception changed. She began to see her baby in a new light and even found him cute.
