One pregnant woman is taking an argument with her husband to the next level.

The day before the 2025 Super Bowl was set to take place, Erika Hollman got into a disagreement with her husband and vowed to give birth during the game as revenge.

Hollman, who is 38 weeks pregnant and due on Feb. 15, details to PEOPLE how that Saturday evening she sat down to watch The Sopranos, only for her husband to interrupt her show to watch some pre-game coverage.

“I, at nine months pregnant, had done the dishes and I set myself up on the couch downstairs. And he walked in all awkward and he was like, ‘There's like a pre-game on and it's kind of important to my bets tomorrow,’ “ Hollman shares. “And I had just really settled in the couch, my hand was over the play button and he was like, ‘It's just really important.’ “

Instead of arguing with her husband, Hollman says she “had had enough” and went upstairs, resigning herself to a night spent not watching The Sopranos. While upstairs, Hollman recorded a 15-second TikTok in which she vowed to all of her viewers that she would have her baby on Super Bowl Sunday.

“I’m nine months pregnant and my husband just pissed me off so you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to have my baby tomorrow,” she declared in the video, which has now been viewed 11.1 million times. “I’m going to have my baby on the day of the Super Bowl, just to piss him off the way he pissed me off. I’m having my baby tomorrow — I’m having a Super Bowl baby.”

The comments on Hollman’s video were filled with notes from other women supporting her desire for revenge, rooting for her to deliver her baby on Feb. 9.

“When asked who I’m rooting for during the Super Bowl, my answer is now you!” one commenter wrote.

“I can’t stand cooking. I had my baby on Thanksgiving 😁” another woman wrote, sharing her own story.

Speaking to PEOPLE, Hollman says, “My husband came upstairs from downstairs and was like, ‘Are you that mad about it?’ I was like, ‘I'm not happy.' "

Though her ambition to have a Super Bowl baby began as an act of petty revenge, Hollman confirms that her husband finds the situation just as hilarious as she does. In fact, she says he thinks the mission is particularly on-brand for her.

“He thinks it's hilarious. He was like, ‘This is you. This is who you are. You do this stuff all the time,’ “ she says. “I said, ‘Yeah, but the women are with me. I haven't seen one comment from a man, but the women are like, please girl, we're rooting for you. We're all rooting for you.”

To enact her plan, on Sunday Hollman completed all of the well-shared methods of inducing labor naturally that she could think of.

“I went outside for 45 minutes and I curb walked [in the snow], which they say is supposed to bring on labor … I also went to Starbucks and I got the labor inducing tea — didn't do anything,” she shares. “I did so many squats, I can't even count. And I stuffed myself full of buffalo wings 'cause they were like, just eat spicy stuff.”

“It got to a point where it was just kind of like, oh my God, now I feel like I have to. I was like, people want this baby more than I want this baby to come out of me,” Hollman says with a laugh. “Like we gotta get this baby out.”

But despite her efforts — and more than 7,600 people rooting for her in the comments of her video — Hollman confirms that she has not yet had her baby.

“She is low and she is ready to come. It is entirely up to her at this point. She is taking her time,” Hollman says, giving an update from the doctor’s appointment she attended on the Monday after the Super Bowl. “She has no desire to come out here. She's fine. She probably doesn't wanna deal with her dad either.”

Hollman’s husband, a dedicated Pittsburgh Steelers fan, was particularly happy with the outcome of the Super Bowl, in which the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22.

“I don't know how much he won, but he felt good when he came into bed,” she says, noting she fell asleep before the game was even over, resigning herself to defeat. “He was like, ‘I'm good. The baby can come at any point now.’ “

“I didn't have the baby and I disappointed America,” Hollman jokes, though notes she could go into labor any day now. “My baby's not as spiteful as me. Apparently she's [keeping] herself in there.”
