Twin sisters in Wisconsin are proving there is no one more supportive than a twin, especially when they learn you're having a baby.

Payton Meulemans, 26, recorded the moment she told her twin sister, Rylie Parman, that she is expecting her first child.

In a video that now has over 7 million views on TikTok, Parman can be seen screaming and then crying in shock when Meulemans shows her a positive pregnancy test.

"No, you're not. No, you're not," Parman says in the video, before being overcome with emotion.

Meulemans told "Good Morning America" that she and her husband experienced difficulties in trying to become pregnant, making her sister's surprise even greater.

"I was supposed to have an appointment a few days after the video was taken for infertility, so my sister had absolutely no idea I was pregnant," Meulemans said, adding of her sister's reaction, "I knew my sister would be ecstatic, but I had no idea she would be that overcome with emotion."
