Two best friends, one big surprise—and their due dates are just 15 days apart

There’s nothing quite like the magic of finding out you’re pregnant—unless your best friend is pregnant too. That’s exactly what happened in a heartwarming TikTok that’s racked up over 9.4 million views and counting. The video, posted by @kamryn.law, shows two friends on the beach as one shares her big pregnancy news—only to discover that her best friend is pregnant too. Their due dates? Just 15 days apart. Cue the screaming, jumping, and all the happy tears.

The power of shared milestones

There’s something uniquely powerful about going through life’s biggest moments alongside someone you love. And pregnancy? That’s a whole new level. Experts say that having a close friend to lean on during pregnancy can make a huge difference in emotional well-being and mental health. Studies have shown that social support during pregnancy can reduce stress, lower the risk of postpartum depression, and even improve birth outcomes.

Emotional and logistical support aside, having someone who truly gets it—the exhaustion, the cravings, the weird body changes—is invaluable. It’s one thing to have a supportive partner or family, but knowing your bestie is going through the same thing? Game-changer.

Why I wish everyone would have this

Take it from me—my best friend and I had our babies 10 years apart, and I was living in a different state when she had hers. I tried to be there for her as much as I could—long phone calls, checking in constantly—but it’s hard to really get it when you’re not in it yourself. Now that I’ve had a baby, I understand in a whole new way what she was going through—how lonely and overwhelming those early days can be. But because our kids are at such different stages, it’s hard to feel like we’re fully aligned in the experience.

That’s why this video hit me so hard. Imagine going through the ups and downs of pregnancy and early motherhood side by side with your best friend—going to prenatal yoga together, comparing ultrasound pics, and then raising babies who are growing up together. That’s the kind of emotional connection that makes the hard days easier and the sweet moments even sweeter.

Why pregnancy is better with a friend

Pregnancy can be isolating, even when you have support from family or a partner. But having a friend going through the same thing creates a different kind of connection—a shared understanding that makes the hard parts easier and the good parts even sweeter.

From comparing morning sickness horror stories to brainstorming baby names over FaceTime at 2 a.m., being pregnant alongside a friend is like having a built-in support system. And when those babies arrive? Instant playdates. Instant mom squad. Instant lifelong bond.

This TikTok captures the magic of that shared experience perfectly. It’s a reminder that girlhood—and motherhood—is better together.
