Not all that long ago I wouldn't have quite understood Chrissy Teigen's latest pregnancy problem. Then I turned 34.

The mom-to-be is only 30, but nonetheless is also finding out about a frustrating little phenomena called skin tags.

Venting on Twitter the beauty, who is expecting a daughter with husband John Legend, recently tweeted, "Well well well, it's almost like my new skin tag heard me making fun of the skin tag commercial I saw last week."

Hilarious commiserating ensued. Check out message sent in reply Chrissy Teigen's post:

@raych212: I had skin tags removed & new ones keep appearing like the kids game where gophers heads keep popping out of the holes

@megmahon22: the skin tag situation with my twin pregnancy is out of control. They look like bloated moles. Ugh.

@MJBoniMB: how do you get rid of those? Asking for a friend.

‏@mcboodles: omg I hope my Christmas dinner hemorrhoids riff doesn't come back 2 bite me in my hiney!

It's possibly not all bad news, however. A user by the name of ‏@tashkitty went on to say, "Yeah, fun prego side effect. They will (should) go away. 5 mos post partum and finally those are all gone."

Could it be true? I have no firsthand experience with pregnancy-induced skin tags, so I can't weigh in on this one. Sadly, I think I have to chalk my little armpit annoyance up to getting slightly up there in age, and there's no magic (like giving birth and a whoosh of hormone changes) to hold out hope for!

Have you had skin tags (from pregnancy or otherwise)? Any luck in getting them to disappear?
