Sixth sense

Today, my mother got heartburn. She claimed she only gets heartburn when she is near a pregnant woman. She threatened to kick me out of the house if I didn't take a pregnancy test, despite there being no way I was pregnant. Turns out, I am pregnant, and my mother's ego has never been bigger. FML

Retest. Pregnancy tests aren't 100% true to their results.

It's possible the OP just did the pregnancy test wrong, or waited too long to look at the test, or it was an expired one. Supposedly blood can cause a false positive with some pregnancy tests, so if the OP was on her period and some of it dripped on the test, that might explain both why she was confident she wasn't pregnant and why the test was positive. The best thing to do would be to go to the doctor and confirm.

Blood? What kind of pregnancy tests are you doing? All at-home pregnancy tests I know require peeing on them...

43 - They're saying blood from her period. Also, if she was on her period she wouldn't necessarily have to worry about being pregnant. (P.s there are blood tests for pregnancy. Much more accurate)

some people on "I didn't know I was pregnant" claim that they had regular periods right up to the end, Drs say this isn't possible and it was really some other pregnancy elated bleeding issue. But ya bleeding generally means no baby.

It can be spotting, that kind of thing. It's not unheard of, but if there's a lot of it then it's something to get checked out.

If there is no way you could actually be pregnant, then please see a doctor, a test showing up "positive" could be the result of a medical problem.

damn! send her to a packed maternity ward she'll have heart attack.

Sounds like you could benefit from a coworker giving you The Talk.

"No way" ... turns into "I am".... mmmm, did you have sex? Or didn't you? Because sex is the leading cause of pregnancy you know ;)

Woah what the **** how did your mom do that

If you are pregnant, and you did not have sex, file a report. More than likely, you were date raped...

That wouldn't be the most likely explanation here.

I don't get how there's "no way" you could be pregnant unless you haven't had sex for at least a few months. Obviously you are sexually active which makes it stupid to say no way.
