'I Gave My Husband A Pregnancy Test For His Birthday. Now I Feel Horrible'

A Reddit user who gave her husband a positive pregnancy test as a birthday gift is having serious regret.

A woman who gave her husband a positive pregnancy test for his birthday has revealed how the gift went down like a sack of bricks and she feels “horrible” about it.

Taking to Reddit, the 23-year-old said she found out she was pregnant three days before her husband’s 25th birthday, so she decided to wait to tell him using the positive pregnancy test as a gift.

The couple had a very low-key birthday celebration together, so she didn’t think it “would be a problem”. “If it were a big party I wouldn’t have done it, because it would’ve taken the entire focus off of him, but this was a small party, just me and him!!” she added.

“When it came for me to give him his gifts, the pregnancy test was in a small box and I told him to open it last. He was super happy with all of his gifts, and when he opened the box with the pregnancy test in it, his demeanour changed.

“He seemed upset. I asked what was wrong and he said it was ‘a stupid gift’ and ‘how could you hide something like this from me? You knew this for so long and hid it?’.”
