Woman heartbroken after mum ruins pregnancy announcement

A mum-to-be was left heartbroken after her own mother ruined her pregnancy announcement, with the awkward video of the incident going viral and racking up over 16 million views. Like many expectant parents, Olena Perez wanted to record the moment she shared her exciting news with her family – that she was expecting her first child. She enlisted a stranger to help pull off the surprise, asking them to pretend to take a family photo. Instead, the stranger was actually filming, meaning the big reveal would be captured on video. Ms Perez began arranging her family in a line for the photo, but just before they were about to say 'cheese', she said she needed to grab her lipstick from her bag. She then pulled out a pregnancy test from her handbag instead, to show her mum. With an excited look on her face, she waited for her mum's reaction but was instead met with confusion. Her mum tapped her on the hand, telling her to put the pregnancy test away, and tried to smile at the camera as if nothing had happened. Ms Perez quickly explained to her mum that she was pregnant, and her mum responded, 'Really?' but appeared otherwise uninterested, pointing towards the camera as if to say, 'Can we just get this photo?' The mum-to-be then looked around at the others in the family line-up and tried to get their attention, exclaiming, 'I'm pregnant!' but the reactions fell just as flat. Not getting the response she had hoped for, Ms Perez gave up and went to retrieve her phone from the person recording, saying 'Oh my god,' and rolling her eyes at the failed reveal. She captioned the clip, 'My mum loves a good pic!' In the comments, many sympathised with her, saying, 'Girl you deserved so much more out of them'. Someone else pointed out, 'Narcissistic mothers ruin everything'. And a third commented: 'The nice thing is you can just show this to the therapist instead of trying to explain'. 'Does she know she's your mum?' another joked. 'I'm glad you're starting your own family … because I don't know what this is…,' another remarked. Others were confused by the awkward family dynamic, with someone asking, 'No offence, but what kind of family is this?' 'How did not one of them hug her?' said one user. A comment with 300,000 likes read: 'I've never seen so many people not care about a pregnancy announcement at the same time.' However, a few others tried to cut the mum and family some slack. 'No offence but just take the damn picture and then make it about you, she probably really wanted a family photo, or simply because she's a mum and no longer has you all living under the same roof,' suggested one commenter. Meanwhile, others took issue with the concept of pregnancy announcements in general. 'Is everyone just supposed to be overjoyed she can procreate?' one user asked. Pregnancy announcements have become a major trend on social media, with many parents going to great lengths to create memorable, and viral, reveals, sometimes with less than ideal outcomes. Influencer and ex-reality TV star, Ella May Ding, was forced to respond to backlash last month after her sponsored pregnancy announcement on Instagram didn't get the response she had hoped for. In May, the star took to Instagram to announce she was expecting her first child with husband Guy Palermo, but the post was actually an ad for pregnancy test brand, Clear Blue. Some fans said that the move felt 'off' because she was trying to cash in on a pregnancy announcement. But Ding argued that anyone would do the same thing in her position. 'It was a no-brainer. When the opportunity came to me, I was like, 'Well, Clearblue literally told me I'm pregnant'. Like, I don't really know how much more you can align with a brand,' Ding told Yahoo Lifestyle.

BABY JOY Frankie's announcement comes just weeks after her ex Jamie revealed he was expecting with wife Sophie JAMIE Laing's Made in Chelsea ex Frankie Gaff has revealed she is pregnant with her second child. Taking to Instagram to share a sweet family snap, Frankie penned: "Baby number 2 incoming," with the post coming shortly after her ex revealed he will soon become a first-time dad. 4 4 She went on: "We can't wait. Theo's dreams have come true!!" Frankie then tagged the pregnancy test brand Clear Blue and said: "@clearblue has been with us every step of the way, from the journey to conception to my exciting positive test! "I've always loved the Clearblue Pregnancy Test with Weeks Indicator which told me how many weeks since conception* too!! I've used them for both pregnancies." Fans rushed to the comment section to congratulate Frankie and her growing family. One person said: "The best news." Another added: "Oh my goodness Congratulations beautiful mama xxxx." "I knew it, could tell you were hiding a bump! Congratulations to you all," said a third. "I had a feeling this was coming! Congratulations to you all," added a fourth. A fifth then penned: "I had a feeling an announcement wouldn't be far away. Congratulations!" Frankie's announcement comes just mere weeks after her ex Jamie and his wife Sophie Habboo revealed they are expecting their first child together. Jamie and Frankie dated on and off on the hit E4 reality series between 2016 and 2018. Frankie is now engaged to Jamie Dickerson, while her ex Jamie Laing is married to Sophie. At the start of June, Jamie and Sophie revealed she is pregnant with their first child. The Made in Chelsea stars revealed the happy news on social media in the week they became the first married couple to co-host on BBC Radio One. They shared a sweet video of Sophie, 30, in hospital having a baby scan. The announcement came just days after Jamie and Sophie announced their Newlyweds podcast would be taking a break. The couple, who got married two years ago on May 20, 2023, revealed: 'We are going to go on a pause. "We're going to go on a little break, but we will be back and we love you guys so much. 'We're so grateful that you've been on this journey with us, so on that note, if you are getting married, good luck and if you're getting divorced we love you." When the pair announced the break, fans were instantly suspicious. And since their pregnancy announcement, fans reckon they might rename their podcast when they make a comeback to the successful audio series. 4
