A Facebook user, Osuchukwu Jane Ezeakolam, has deleted her post after DUBAWA’s fact-check. DUBAWA observed that the post was no longer available when we checked again a month later.
On Jan. 29, 2026, Jane Ezeakolam shared an image of a pregnant woman (archived here) to show how pregnancy changes a person.
She wrote, “For a woman to look disfigured during pregnancy, it’s the quality of the man’s sperm …. Men put our body through a lot of horrors …”
The comment section was filled with users who agreed, questioned, and disagreed with the claim.
According to scientific studies, sperm does not cause physical changes, such as the enlargement of a woman’s nose during pregnancy. Although scientific evidence and expert opinions show that poor sperm quality can affect fertility outcomes, it does not directly impact a woman’s body or physical appearance during pregnancy.
