A MOTHER and daughter duo have left people scratching their heads because of how similar they look.

Amber Boone and her daughter Jazmynne often get mistaken for sister or even twins because of their near identical looks.

In a decent video Amber shared to TikTok, the pair sported the same blonde hair style complete with loose waves and a fringe and matching black T-shirts.

“POV: people think mother [and] daughter are sisters” the text reads over the video.

Amber and Jazmynne mime along to a viral sound in the clip, point out how they’re “not the same person.”

The viral clip left people’s jaws on the floor, as they were convinced they couldn’t possibly be a mum and daughter.

“I’m not going to lie I had to rewatch a couple of times because I thought it was edited to look like two people,” one said.

NOPE you cannot convince me. I used to think you were sisters in the beginning, beautiful,” another commented.

And a third chimed in: “Who is the mum and who is the daughter?”

“I can’t stop watching, you look exactly the same lol,” someone else wrote.

The similarities are impressive – Amber became a mum at just 14 and then became a grandmother at 31, she revealed in a previous video, meaning she’s closer in age to her daughter than most parents.

Previously, Amber opened up about what it was like to have a baby at such a young age.

I was a teen mum & people said it would be my biggest regret – I proved them wrong

“The days leading up to my due date and thereafter, I begged the doctor to induce me, take her by C-section, literally do anything they possibly could to get that child out of my body because I was absolutely miserable,” she explained.

However, she went on to claim that the doctors “refused.”

“The baby was laying on a nerve of mine which means when she’d move in certain positions, I’d lose feeling in my legs and just drop to the ground,” she explained.

“It was very painful.”

She alleged she was told that if her child was over 8lb they’d have to take her by c-section because her birth canal was not large enough to push out an 8lb baby.

The young mum, who at this point was going to the doctor every other day to monitor her progress, explained how one day, she then woke up with the worst pain she’s ever experienced in her life – and she knew her contractions had started.

“A little 14-year-old me goes to wake my mummy up…I took my little butt downstairs, got in the shower and proceeded to do my hair in those little twisties that we used to do back in 2000.

“My mum drove me to my boyfriend’s house where he’s arguing with his mum about lunch money.”

She explained how they all arrived the the hospital together and Amber says from there, word was getting around her school that she was in labour.

“All my friends were coming and visiting me – at one point I had about 35 people in my room while I was in active labour,” she claimed.

However, with her labour progressing slowly, doctors eventually kicked everyone out and decided to break her waters.

Amber, who reluctantly opted for an epidural to reduce the pain, said it knocked her “clean out.”

She recalls: “After about 22 hours of labour, they woke me up and was like, ‘you have to push now’ and I was like ‘nooo, I want to go back to sleep‘…so they turned my epidural all the way down just for an hour and a half.

“They were trying to prevent me from ripping down towards my bottom so I ripped up towards my pee hole and that was incredibly painful.”

Amber, whose daughter was born weighing 8lbs 1oz, continued: “She was bruised, her entire face was bruised, she had popped blood vessels, my entire pelvic area inside and out was bruised.”

She concluded: “I honestly do feel like the medical staff and doctors were a little more harsh with me because of my age.

“I don’t know if they were trying to discourage me from doing it gain or whatever…

“I also think because of my age I didn’t get the birthing experience I wanted because I didn’t know how to speak up for myself.”
