Ashllen Killips wanted her first pregnancy announcement to be unforgettable. The catch? Her mom works at the very OB-GYN office Ashllen visits, making secrecy nearly impossible.
The Setup
Ashllen and her doctor plotted a covert ultrasound appointment, scheduling it during a window when her mom believed her daughter was simply in for routine care. Office staff quietly ushered Ashllen into the ultrasound room, keeping the true purpose under wraps.
The Big Reveal
When the scan wrapped, a colleague called Ashllen’s mom into the room-cameras rolling. Her first words on entering:
Ashllen’s mom exclaimed:
> “So you were lying to me!”
She then spotted the ultrasound image and cheered, “Is this it?” while clapping and rushing over for a closer look. Ashllen, still on the exam table, reminded her mom to stay quiet because it was “too early” to shout the news.
Why It’s Extra Special
- First baby for Ashllen and her husband
- First grandchild on both sides of the family
- Baby girl due in March
Ashllen later said she wasn’t shocked by her mom’s joy-she expected nothing less-but admitted the online response blew her away.
Ashllen tells News Of Los Angeles:
> “I was definitely surprised by the response we received online… I never expected it to gain the amount of traction it did.”
Key Takeaways
- Creative planning and a trusted medical team made the surprise possible
- The video’s popularity highlights viewers’ appetite for wholesome content
- A first grandchild adds another layer of excitement for the whole family
From stealthy scheduling to a tear-filled ultrasound room, Ashllen’s pregnancy reveal proves that with a little help from friends-and 20 years of workplace trust-moms can still be delightfully blindsided.
