Cara Chatwin is expecting triplets any day now. But that didn't stop the Utah mom from making an absolutely adorable, giggle-worthy dance video that's going viral. The 29-year-old, husband Darik Hunter Chatwin, and their 23-month-old daughter, Gemma, all star in the clip, entitled, "Triplet Baby Mama Dance," which has wracked up more than 52K views on YouTube and 7 million views across the internet since it was posted on October 18.

Chatwin was inspired to take part in the ongoing social media trend the Baby Mama Dance Challenge.

The thought is that doing the dance might help induce labor. "It’s a dance that a lot of pregnant mamas do toward the end of their pregnancies, so we thought we would join in on the fun!" Chatwin tells CafeMom.

Unfortunately, not everyone saw the video as just plain fun, Chatwin notes, pointing to a bit of shaming she encountered on social media.-placeholder

Unfortunately, not everyone saw the video as just plain fun, Chatwin notes, pointing to a bit of shaming she encountered on social media.

"I am honestly surprised by how many people, especially other women, are so negative and downright mean about my belly showing," she shares. "I’m proud of my body and what it is doing for these babies and wanted to celebrate that."

Thankfully, most comments have been incredibly supportive.-placeholder

Thankfully, most comments have been incredibly supportive.

"We have also received tons of positive, uplifting, and supportive feedback from people who are genuinely happy for us," Chatwin reflects. "It’s fun to share our excitement with others!"

As far as the funniest reaction to the video so far? "So many people thinking my belly is fake!" Chatwin tells CafeMom.-placeholder

As far as the funniest reaction to the video so far? "So many people thinking my belly is fake!" Chatwin tells CafeMom.

"I know it’s large, but come on, there are three babies in there!" she laughs.

And the parents couldn't be more over-the-moon to expand their brood. "Family is everything to us," Chatwin shares.

The proud mom says, "Gemma has brought us so much joy, and we are thrilled -- and semi-overwhelmed -- to be doubling the size of our family so quickly and watching Gemma become a big sister."

As wild a ride as its sure to be, there's obviously so much happiness on the horizon for the Chatwins! It's no wonder they wanted to celebrate with a family dance party. Props to them for sharing that celebration with the world.
