Raise your hand if you’re already anticipating missing Jessie Thompson’s pregnancy updates once she welcomes her little one. The content she shares about her journey is undeniably some of the best parenting material you’ll find online, and she hasn’t even given birth yet! When you mix a down-to-earth comedian with the realities of pregnancy, you get relatable moments rather than glamorous shots from a photoshoot. Case in point: a third-trimester mom just trying to put on her socks.
“If you’re pregnant, like I am, and you want to put your socks on — it’s totally easy,” she quips, and who can resist a laugh at that? “First, let’s tackle the left foot. Okay, a bit uncomfortable, but manageable.” Then comes the right foot: “Oh, this is a breeze! Just slide your toe in. Now, let’s try angling it from behind and hook the toe. Then you just… kind of slowly… will the sock up your leg. And that’s the pregnant life,” she adds, bringing a hilarious twist to a simple task.
If you haven’t caught Jessie’s new stand-up special, “Growing,” you need to settle in and watch it immediately. It’s a riot, leaving you gasping for breath while questioning things like “What’s your skirt circumference?”—the most creative take on tampon sizes you’ll ever hear. She covers a wide array of topics, from pregnancy (she’s been enduring hyperemesis gravidarum since her early weeks) to marriage, friendships, and even the nostalgia of awkward teen leg-shaving.
In discussing her own pregnancy, Jessie makes it clear that she’s not here for those breezing through it. “I throw up an exorcist amount every single day,” she shares candidly. “If you had a good pregnancy—if you’re one of those who enjoyed being pregnant—I just hope your car flips over. That’s my wish for you.” Honestly, who can blame her? I’m currently navigating my fifth month of pregnancy with my second child and can totally relate to the struggle of non-stop nausea during the first trimester.
Jessie isn’t just willing to talk about the unfiltered aspects of pregnancy; she’s also not shy about showing it. Recently, she posted a series of delightful pictures of herself—naked and carefree in a park, chasing ducks. “On a brisk morning, it’s best to chase ducks with nothing weighing you down except a baby,” she humorously noted. And yes, she looks stunning. When I say “real,” I don’t mean it in a passive-aggressive way; she’s genuinely beautiful. We want to see celebrities indulging in beignets in their third trimester, not just posing for high-fashion covers without any visible signs of pregnancy. And Jessie Thompson absolutely delivers that authenticity.
Now, if only someone would lend her a hand with those socks—after all, it’s still chilly outside, and her toes are definitely feeling it!
