"I was actually with my mum when I did my pregnancy test so for a good couple of weeks it was only her and [my partner] Connor that knew about me being pregnant," she said.
"Then one afternoon my sister rang me and said that she was pregnant too.
"I was actually the first person she had told and I lasted about two minutes before telling her I was too.
"We were both crying on the phone and couldn’t believe it. We were both so happy."
Frankie, who works as a dog groomer, shared the exciting news online, in a viral video that rocketed Frankie into TikTok stardom on her account @henryshousegrooming - which has brought in over 290,000 followers to date.
"Back in September last year when I told my dad I was expecting a baby..." She wrote at the time.
At first, Frankie's father was gobsmacked at the news as he looked at his daughter in disbelief - before he quickly became tearful and congratulated Frankie on the new member of the family with a warm arm around her shoulder.
"Little did he know, he was about to have another huge shock," she continued.
Just ten minutes later, her old sister Alex, 35, also broke the incredible news that she was expecting her second child - which had their dad exclaim a shocked, "NO!"
Frankie added: "My dad's reaction was definitely how I’d imagined it would be - I knew he would be very shocked but very emotional and happy.
"We are a very close family and often get together a lot.
"We met up around my sister's one Sunday just before me and Connor were due to go on holiday.
"We had just had an early scan at around ten weeks so straight after that we told my dad and my sister planned to tell him five minutes after that she was pregnant too.
"My Mum already knew about us both but we waited to tell our dad until we were both a little bit further along and knew that everything was ok."
As another incredible surprise, the children - baby girl Ottille and baby boy Woody - were born just four days apart from one another.
Frankie - who has raked in over 20,000 followers on Instagram @ lifeatridgeway - revealed the incredibly exciting moment for the sisters.
"We were both due just under three weeks apart but I ended up being nearly two weeks late," the mum explained.
"And my sister Alex ended up having her little boy Woody - four days after me as she was a couple of days early.
"Neither of us knew what we were having which made it even more exciting."
Viewers rushed to the comment section of the popular video to gush over the exciting news - with some even sharing their own experiences of their "inseparable" little ones.
A viewer gushed: "What a great dad reaction!!!"
A second penned: "My sister and I had our babies three days apart, they are nearly six now and inseparable."
"Love it, my son is 17 and my nephew 18, they’re best mates," a third commented beside a blushing emoji.
