What to Know
Every so often, we hear stories of women who gave birth without ever knowing they were pregnant, and people simply can’t believe it. But it can happen — not all bodies are the same, and not everyone experiences the tell-tale symptoms associated with being pregnant. They may start feeling symptoms at a later point in their pregnancy, but it can be easy to write them off as something else. Brazilian makeup artist Tainara Aranda recently gave birth to her first child after finding out almost at the end of her pregnancy. And she claims that she had no idea she was pregnant, and AI told her that her symptoms were just gas.
Her pregnancy came as a complete shock.
Aranda announced her pregnancy on Instagram on May 3, 2026.
“You arrived unexpectedly, in the middle of our ordinary days. No warning, no planning… just arrived,” she wrote in the caption. “Today I understand : you didn’t come at the time I planned, came at the time our family needed to start.”
She spoke with g1 about her viral video, telling the outlet that in an attempt to get in better shape, she started changing her lifestyle in late 2025. It was during that time that she got pregnant. But she didn’t show any signs.
“No one was suspicious. My mother is a mother of three, my father is a father of six, and no one looked at me and said that I had a pregnant face or pregnant belly, at no time. Quite the contrary,” she said, adding that people complimented her for losing weight.
In May 2026, her husband raised suspicions that she may be pregnant. He said that her belly appeared rounded, more like that of a pregnant woman. She admitted to stomach movements, but wrote them off. When she put her symptoms into an AI tool, it told her she had gas.
But after talking to her husband, she took a pregnancy test, which confirmed that she was, in fact, pregnant. During a doctor’s appointment, she found out she was eight months along.
“Until then, I thought it was two, three months, at most. It’s never crossed my mind such an advanced gestation,” she said. “My husband was super happy to find out. Then after he heard it was eight months, he said ‘Damn, I have to run now more than ever to do everything.’”
Tainara Aranda went back and called out the AI for being wrong.

She told g1 that after finding out she was pregnant, she called out the artificial intelligence on its mistake.
“The time I found out [the pregnancy], I sent it to him like this ‘chat, I’m pregnant.’ I got mad at him still, because he got it wrong. But it is logical that we do not have to seek diagnosis on the internet,” she said.
Aranda believes that it was her description of her symptoms that led the AI tool to say that she was gassy rather than pregnant.
The AI tool “said it was trapped bowel, because of the way I reported it. Because, really, it was when I ate, that I felt something or other, but nothing else,” she claimed.
However, she made a point to say that despite what AI told her, she kept her doctor’s appointment after finding out she was pregnant.
Ahead of the birth of her daughter, whose name, Clarice, was chosen by Aranda’s husband after writer Clarice Lispector, the parents were excited.
“Anxiety was already to be known. We wonder ‘what will it look like?’ And then I joke, ‘I hope it looks like me, not Dad,’” she teased.
She recently gave birth to her daughter.
On June 10, Aranda posted a video on Instagram announcing the birth of her daughter Clarice. In the video, which is in Portuguese, she explained that she had begun experiencing complications, which led to being diagnosed with pre-eclampsia.
She was taken to the hospital, and she prepared to give birth to her daughter. In the video, she can be seen experiencing contractions and going through labor. At the end, she is seen cradling her newborn.
“This video has exactly everything that matters to me,” she captioned the Instagram post, which is translated. “Welcome my daughter, may all the blessings fall on you and may God’s care continue to be infinite!”
