The clip sparked a flood of emotional and wild responses, with people sharing stories of how they struggled to tell their parents even while grown and independent. Many felt robbed, saying they wanted to hear the mother's response, and asking for part two.

Some said they waited for their parents to see their growing bellies for themselves. Others were happy that she finally said it.
