Your belly will get big, your hair will get gorgeous, you'll have to pee at least three times a night. These are the pregnancy symptoms that we all know, the ones that everyone tells you as soon as you announce that you're expecting.

It doesn't take too long to realize, though, that you'll experience countless other side effects during those long 9 months.

With baby #2 on the way, Kim Kardashian took to Instagram this week to share her weirdest symptom yet: Pregnancy lips!

Kim Kardashian turned heads while out on August 24

The reality star posted - of course - a selfie showing her puffy, swollen lips. While some followers assumed she'd had some sort of fillers or injection, Kim attributes the change to her pregnancy.

Some are still skeptical, but according to one US Weekly expert, Kim's new look really could be due to the fact that she's expecting.

"During pregnancy, hormones can cause fluid retention, which leads to increased swelling. This can occur in different parts of the body, including the face. It's a common occurrence."

Kim's not the only mom-to-be getting a beauty boost from her pregnancy. Jessica Simpson Tweeted a photo of her puffy pout when she was expecting her first baby, writing, “Woke up looking like the lip injection fairy visited me in the night! Is this how pregnancy face begins?! Yikes!”

Several BabyCenter mamas revealed that their also appeared fuller while expecting: "My lips have been like that almost my whole pregnancy! It looks like I had them 'done,'" wrote one. "Cracks me up sometimes in the mirror. I thought it was really weird until I read in a book about how pregnant women often have celeb-style puffy lips."

There were definitely a few side effects of pregnancy that caught me off guard - like the fact that my already huge feet grew another half size, or the vivid, often bizarre dreams that accompanied my third trimester. And let's just say that that hair growth everyone talks about isn't just restricted to your head!
