A mom-to-be has gone viral after she shared a wholesome compilation video of her friends and family’s reactions to her pregnancy news.
The clip – which included oos and ahs, jaw-drops, and tears – received more than 2.5 million views when Karisa Bartling, 33, posted it online.
Karisa, from Schenectady, New York, married her husband Kyle Bartling, 33, during the pandemic.
After being forced to have a COVID wedding, Karisa said she wanted to start a new chapter in the couple’s life, and so they began trying for a baby.
Having seen their pregnancy test come back positive, Karisa and Kyle started making their way around friends and family between April and June of this year.
With a selection of clips at her disposal, Karisa, who is expecting a Christmas baby, posted the compilation on TikTok in the middle of June.
