Tay Lautner says pregnancy has been harder than she expected. In a new episode of The Squeeze released Wednesday, May 13, she spoke with guest Kay Dudley about body image, comparing her changing body with other pregnant women and trying to adjust as she expects her first baby with husband Taylor Lautner.

“I was like just having a meltdown and I was like, I don’t think I like being pregnant,” Tay said on the episode. She added that she is “not really enjoying all of the things that come along with it,” and said she has found herself comparing her pregnant body with women who are weeks away from giving birth and still look “skinny and fit.”

Her comments land a little more than six weeks after she and Taylor Lautner announced the pregnancy on March 26 with a set of Instagram photos. In those pictures, the couple stood in a field holding sonogram images, and one showed Taylor bending down to kiss his wife’s stomach under a white skirt and white tank top. Their caption read, “What’s better than two Taylor Lautners?🤍,” turning the announcement into a bright public debut for the baby news.

Dudley responded with her own experience, saying pregnancy changed how she saw her body when she was expecting her three daughters. “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten more appreciative of my body changes, but it is hard to kinda wrap your mind around that,” she said. The exchange gave Tay a rare public window into the private friction many expectant mothers describe: the gap between what pregnancy looks like from the outside and what it feels like day to day.

That tension is what makes her remarks stand out. The couple’s announcement in March was all smiles and sonogram photos, but her new comments show the physical and emotional strain that can sit behind a carefully framed reveal. For Tay, the question is not whether the baby news is welcome. It is whether she can make peace with her changing body before the first child arrives.
