Claudia Oshry, popularly known as “Girl With No Job,” is gearing up for a new chapter in her life. The social media personality and comedian recently announced that she and her husband, Ben Soffer, are expecting their first child.
In an Instagram video shared on their joint account, Claudia documented key moments of her pregnancy journey, beginning with a sonogram appointment. The video showed her lying down with a beaming smile as she exclaimed, “I’M HAVIN’ HIS BAAABY!”
The post quickly garnered attention from her fans and followers, many of whom have followed Claudia’s rise to fame and her candid takes on life through her popular podcast, The Toast, and her social media channels.
A Surprise Revelation
The announcement began with a heartfelt video shared via Patreon, where Claudia captured the exact moment she discovered she was pregnant. “No f—ing way,” she exclaimed, visibly shocked and thrilled. Calling Ben into the room, she shared the life-changing news. His reaction was equally emotional, as he responded with disbelief and joy, saying, “Shut up. Oh, my God.”
The emotional rollercoaster continued as Claudia reached out to her loved ones to share the news. One of her first calls was to her sister and podcast co-host, Jackie Oshry. Reflecting on the moment, Claudia admitted she was overwhelmed. “Did not sleep a wink,” she revealed in her video.
She described the surreal experience of longing for motherhood and then suddenly achieving it. “It’s so crazy to want to be something so badly, like cry about it for months, and then you get to be that something,” she shared, clearly moved by the moment.
Hearing the Baby’s Heartbeat
The journey to becoming parents included a memorable visit to the doctor, where Claudia and Ben heard their baby’s heartbeat for the first time. The emotional milestone left the couple feeling grateful and reassured. “Oh, my God. Normal, healthy. Thank you, God,” Claudia said, fighting back tears of joy.
Throughout her pregnancy, Claudia has been open about her feelings and experiences, offering a candid glimpse into the highs and challenges of this transformative period.
Navigating Weight Changes and Self-Image
One of the more vulnerable moments in Claudia’s vlog was her discussion about weight gain during pregnancy. Known for her humor and transparency, she didn’t shy away from sharing her struggles with body image.
“I already have such a f—ed up self-image with, like, Ozempic and the weight loss,” she admitted, referencing her past use of the weight-loss medication. “I’m eating anything in sight. Just bagels all the time.”
She candidly spoke about the anxiety of returning to her pre-Ozempic weight and how she is slowly learning to come to terms with the changes. “That’s something I’m slowly coming to terms with,” she said, demonstrating her honesty about the complexities of pregnancy and body image.
Challenges in the First Trimester
Not all of Claudia’s pregnancy journey has been smooth sailing. In her video, she recounted attending Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour during her first trimester and called it “one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made in my life.”
“I was seriously not OK,” she confessed, adding that the experience was physically exhausting. “So nauseous, so hot, so tired. Like, actually not having a good time.”
Despite the backlash she received for leaving the concert early, Claudia emphasized that her decision stemmed from feeling unwell. “Obviously, no disrespect to Taylor,” she clarified, adding that it was a challenging experience exacerbated by early pregnancy symptoms.
Looking Ahead With Optimism
As Claudia’s pregnancy progresses, her outlook has become more positive. Wrapping up her vlog, she expressed excitement about the journey ahead.
“These days, I’m feeling much better,” she said, noting that her symptoms have subsided, allowing her to fully embrace the joy of pregnancy. “I feel like now I can really get excited. I’ve always been excited about the baby, but a little weary of the pregnancy.”
Now feeling more like herself, Claudia shared her anticipation for what’s to come. “I feel like I can really enjoy being pregnant and everything that comes along with it.”
