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."

Such is the case with the AI-powered Eight Sleep Pod 5 Ultra, which has received glowing endorsements from figures such as Bryan Johnson and Elon Musk My verdict?

If this mask is half as effective as it is fascinating to look at in its peak-bubble form, it'll be a worthwhile buy. Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box Amazon shoppers (and TikTok users alike) love this smart little box for its self-cleaning capabilities and dome shape, which helps to conceal any stinky scents better than standard litter boxes. $116 at Amazon Tired of cleaning your cat's litter box?

Is there an organic discourse surrounding individual items? Are there product reviews from shoppers that can support the hype surrounding a popular TikTok product? Understanding the functionality of an item—beyond just its virality—is critical in assessing its value, and I ensure that any products recommended here are also backed by USA Today Shopping editors, shoppers and boast no lower than a 4.0 average rating.

Watch: The Rams had the best time singing karaoke at a bar in Hawaii

Safe to say the team-building aspect of having minicamp in Maui was a success Sean McVay mentioned this week in Maui that the Los Angeles Rams have the makings of a 'really special group' with the work ethic and camaraderie they've shown this offseason. This video of players singing karaoke at a bar perfectly encapsulates what the head coach is talking about. After wrapping up minicamp, several players stayed in Hawaii a bit longer to take in the culture on the beautiful island of Maui. A video was shared on TikTok of the Rams singing 'Unwritten' by Natasha Bedingfield at a local bar and they were having the time of their lives. Braden Fiske, Jordan Whittington and Larrell Murchison were among those in the video, all belting out the words to the hit song. NFL on FOX shared the video on Instagram, as well. McVay said he didn't know how much actual work the Rams would get done in Maui, indicating it was more about experiencing the culture and community as a team, and he was probably right. The team-building aspect of the trip certainly seems to have been a success.
