A grandmother got quite a surprise after she arrived at the hospital to help her daughter give birth.
In a video posted on TikTok by user hopezvyhkn, a woman recorded her own mother’s reaction when she saw her baby granddaughter for the first time.
“When you didn’t tell anyone that you were in labor 😍. Mom thought she was coming to help me with labor, but the little girl was already there,” the new mom wrote along with the video.
At the beginning of the video, the grandmother is seen entering the hospital room with a smile on her face, before pausing at the foot of the bed, where the newborn girl is resting on a pillow with a blue bow on her head.
