A mum has blown TikTok users away with her incredible baby bump as she prepares to give birth to twins.

When the video took off, Charlotte was flooded with hundreds of comments wishing her the best of luck with her pregnancy, blown away by what the human body can do.
"You’re amazing! Wishing you a safe and healthy delivery," commented one impressed TikToker.
"A woman's body is just amazing that it can house two babies. Go mumma!!!!" raved a second.
"You're my hero! Best of luck on your delivery! Stay cool," wrote a third.
However, in true internet fashion, the video didn't come without its criticisms, with some viewers taking it upon themselves to comment on the heavily pregnant mum's figure.
In a follow-up video, Charlotte addressed the comments, and let her viewers know that she wasn't concerned with her trolls.
"There's been some negative comments as well, but I was expecting it," she assured her followers.
"In two years, my body has housed three babies, and I'm actually really proud. People's opinions of me aren't any of my business.
"If you don't like looking, then don't look. But for me, I'm so proud that I've gotten to over 36 weeks with twins."
At 37 weeks, Charlotte revealed that she had been diagnosed with pre-eclampsia and was rushed to hospital to be monitored ahead of her c-section.
Ahead of her due date, on 30 August, all seemed to be well again with Charlotte but, just in case she needed it, her new followers left bundles of positive messages in her comment section to support her through the exciting, but frightening, time.
"So much positivity to you during your delivery," wrote one kind follower.
"Best of luck and a quick recovery for you, and good health for your new littles," commented a second.
"Proud of you! Pregnancy is hard! You’re a rockstar," raved a third.
Charlotte posted a short video on Tuesday, 30 August, to announce that she was on the way to the hospital for her c-section, but has yet to update followers on how it went.
We're wishing this mum the best of luck with her baby twins.
