A Mother who shared her pregnancy experience on TikTok went viral after experiencing the uncommon side effect of natural childbirth.

Yelena von Breymann, 28, from Tennessee, revealed on her TikTok account how her blood vessels burst in her face, eyes, and neck an hour after she gave birth to her baby boy.

Yelena has decided to document her postpartum recovery on her TikTok account since she gave birth to her baby boy on December 31. She also suffered a 3rd-degree vaginal tear.

On the 1st week of January, she wrote in a video holding her newborn baby: “When you push so hard to get your baby out and end up with broken blood vessels, and bruises on your face.”

On the said clip, you can see how visible the purple bruises were underneath her eyes, but in a caption, she insisted how priceless it was. On the 1st couple of weeks, she admitted how scared she was to look on her face saying: “I’ve never seen anything like that.”

Less than a week later, she posted a follow-up clip to show how red her eyes were from her broken blood vessels. She also shared that she was healing from a 3rd-degree tear, which involves partial tearing of her anus.

In the caption of her post, she makes a joke saying: “Thank god my labor was only 8 hours.” Her blood vessels burst while she was pushing, which she was unaware could happen.

While a massive number of mothers could relate to her experience, other TikTok users were freaking out by her broken blood vessels. One viewer asked: “Eyes? Is it something that can happen after birth?”

To which she replied: “Yep, it’s definitely something that can happen from the pushing, and it happened to me,” before sharing a photo of herself shortly after she gave birth.

Yelena warned them: “Don’t get scared because it was really, really bad.” She said she was in labor for eight hours and pushed intensely for an hour.

She revealed that it took about two weeks for her broken blood vessels to heal, adding: “So, yeah, I definitely didn’t get that cute hospital photo with my baby.”

Yelena’s viral TikTok video has been viewed more than 790,000 times, and many mothers chimed in to share their own childbirth experiences.

One viewer wrote: “This happened to me too! I could barely see by the end.” A second viewer said: “I got this too! All over my face and body.”

One mom recalled how her nurse told her not to push with her face while she was in labor, saying: “This must be why she said it.” Someone shared her own experience saying: “This happened to me too, but one entire eye was blood red.”

Yelena admitted that the broken capillaries in her eyes and face were worse for her than her vaginal tear. She said: “The face bothered me more though LOL. It took forever to heal and I just wanted to hide in a hole.”

The mom wrote in the comments that she also got broken blood vessels in her neck and that she was “so surprised I never knew this could happen.”

According to What to Expect, it is common for mothers to experience bloodshot eyes and broken blood vessels after giving birth. The tiny capillaries in the eyes, face, and chest can burst with visible results due to intense pushing during labor.

Other commenters said they have had broken blood vessels in their face from vomiting and coughing, which is also common.

Yelena has shared a series of videos on her “intense but empowering” labor on her social media account, detailing everything from her post-partum recovery to images from the labor itself.
