Betty’s daughter shared an exciting and unexpected story about her grandmother’s pregnancy, expressing heartfelt gratitude for the support their videos have received from viewers.
She explained how the discovery unfolded, starting with a family superstition about her great-grandmother dreaming of fish, which they believe signifies someone in the family is pregnant.
About a month or two ago, she had asked her grandmother if she’d had such a dream, and her grandmother confirmed it.
While this initially sparked curiosity, no one knew who might be pregnant, so they waited until the person revealed themselves.
Meanwhile, during an unusual snowfall in areas like Atlanta and Covington, the family decided to play in the snow, wearing their grandmother’s wig and clothes, and shared the video online.
The playful video brought a lot of joy to viewers, but in the midst of it all, Betty’s grandmother started to feel unwell.
Concerned it could be related to her blood pressure, she went to the emergency room, prompting the speaker’s mother to sit with her for seven hours.
During the visit, her grandmother underwent tests, and the shocking revelation came when the doctor informed her she was three months (twelve weeks) pregnant.
The grandmother’s reaction was one of complete shock, as was the rest of the family’s. Everyone rushed to the hospital to check on her, as the news left her almost fainting from surprise.
The hospital kept her overnight for observation and released her the next morning. Following this revelation, the grandmother decided to keep the baby, and plans were made to hold the gender reveal on her 77th birthday, March 25, 2025.
Betty’s daughter further expressed excitement about sharing this journey through videos, promising updates on her grandmother’s pregnancy, including her growing baby bump and other moments, while respecting certain private aspects.
