Faking a pregnancy is an interesting way to prank those closest to you. If you feel that your partner, friends, and/or relatives would not be upset if they were teased in this way, try the easiest method to fake a pregnancy, which is to show a fake pregnancy test result. Apart from buying fake pregnancy test results, you can also change the original pregnancy test results. To make your "pregnancy" look more convincing, also show various early pregnancy symptoms! However, always remember that such jokes run the greatest risk of offending people who have had miscarriages or have problems with their fertility.

Step

Method 1 of 2: Showing Early Pregnancy Symptoms

Step 1. Complain about a missed period, about a day before they hear about your pregnancy

Basically, your jokes will feel more convincing if they've heard about your late period beforehand. Therefore, try to inform them of your late period, a few days or a day before they hear the news of your pregnancy.

• Try saying, “Wow, I should have had my period 2 days ago. Hopefully it won't be too long anyway, too late so I can relax at Karen's pool party.”
• If the person being bullied doesn't respond to your casual comment, try providing a follow-up comment. For example, “My period is late, here. What do you think is wrong, huh?”

Step 2. Pretend you have morning sickness by faking nausea and vomiting

Basically, morning sickness is one of the most common early pregnancy symptoms. To mimic these symptoms, try asking permission to go to the bathroom, then flushing the toilet to mimic the sound of vomiting. Also, pretend to "recover" after vomiting by snacking on snacks, drinking soda, and eating smaller meals.

• Splash some water on your forehead to show that you are tired and sweaty after vomiting.
• The pungent smell is the most common cause of nausea in pregnant women. Therefore, whenever you smell a very strong scent, pretend to be nauseous.

Step 3. Increase the frequency of going to the bathroom to show the impression of urinating more often

During pregnancy, a woman's body produces more blood, which means that their kidneys have to work extra to filter more fluids. That fluid will later become urine and make pregnant women urinate more often. To mimic these symptoms, try asking permission to go to the bathroom every hour and then complaining about the increased frequency of urination to the people you want to prank.

Try saying, “Ugh, I'm so tired of having to go to the bathroom so many times. I guess it's my second home, right now," or "How come I've been peeing so much lately, huh? I hope I'm not pregnant."

Tip:

To increase the urge to urinate, try eating more fruits, such as watermelon, citrus fruits, pineapples, cranberries, tomatoes, prunes, bananas, and apples. The water content in these fruits will increase your urge to urinate. If you don't like fruit, another option that can have a similar effect is caffeinated and fizzy drinks.

Step 4. Act as if your breasts are more swollen and painful to the touch

Hormonal changes in the early stages of pregnancy can make your breasts feel more tender than usual, even before the pregnancy is known. To mimic these symptoms, try sharing the discomfort with the person you want to prank. If necessary, compress the chest area with a warm pad to "relieve" the pain.

If you live with the person you're going to be bullied, try removing your bra while you're at home. Complete the behavior by saying, “My breasts don't feel comfortable when wearing a bra. I think he's more swollen than usual, though."

Step 5. Pretend to be tired all the time

When you are pregnant, a woman's body will produce more of the hormone progesterone. As a result, fatigue is very easy to approach. This means that you should also feel tired even though you are still in the early stages of pregnancy. To fake the symptoms, try complaining about your tiredness to everyone. If necessary, take time to take a nap during the day.

• Don't pretend to be sleeping at work, school, or university so you don't get into trouble.
• Try saying, “I slept 9 hours last night, lo, so I shouldn't be this tired now. I wonder why, huh?”

Step 6. Pretend to be more emotional and cry more easily to indicate significant mood swings

Because pregnancy can trigger hormonal fluctuations, this condition often makes the mood of a pregnant person very volatile. To mimic these symptoms, pretend to cry while watching a commercial or after seeing a sad meme. In addition, you can also pretend to be angry and cry after dealing with a very minor problem.

For example, show a cute dog-g.webp" />

Step 7. Pretend to want strange food combinations

Although generally will not appear in the first few weeks of pregnancy, cravings are actually one of the early symptoms of pregnancy that is very easy to notice. If you pretend to crave strange foods, even the person being bullied may be even more convinced that you are indeed pregnant. For example, try asking for an odd combination of treats, such as ice cream and pickles or a peanut butter-covered corn dog. If your stomach isn't strong enough to try the odd mixture of ingredients, try making a smoothie and pretending to mix all the weird ingredients in it.

You can say, “Mmm… this smoothie is really good! I made it from a mixture of pickles and anchovies because I was craving that combination.”

Method 2 of 2: Getting False Positive Results

Step 1. Purchase a fake pregnancy test kit to make the process easier

Basically, a pregnancy test that was made as a joke is the best option, especially since the results are sure to be positive every time. To use it, you just need to take it to the bathroom and pee it like a normal test kit. Wait for the results, then immediately show it to the people you want to prank.

• Fake pregnancy test kits can be purchased online or at specialty stores that sell joke material.
• Read and follow all the rules listed on the test kit packaging to ensure proper performance.

Tip:

One of the drawbacks of this method is that you may be asked to do a retest to confirm the results. Therefore, you should buy several fake pregnancy test kits at once just in case you have to do this.

Step 2. Dip the pregnancy test kit into a can of Coca Cola or Pepsi

In fact, some of the ingredients in soda are capable of mimicking pregnancy hormones and showing false positive results when it comes to a pregnancy test kit. To use it, all you have to do is dip the pregnancy test in a can of soda, then hide the remaining soda before opening the bathroom door.

Since you may be asked to do a second test to confirm the results, try hiding an extra can of soda in the bathroom just in case you need it. In particular, place the can in a place that is difficult for others to find, such as in a makeup box or sanitary napkin case

Step 3. Unpack the pregnancy test kit and draw a straight line on its surface to create a false positive result

Most pregnancy test kits are covered by separate plastic sheets on the front and back. Using a piece of metal, such as tweezers or a nail file, try to pry open the front of the test kit. Then, use a marker that matches the color of the line on the test result to draw a straight line to create a positive test result. After that, splash water on the surface of the test kit to give the impression that the test kit has been in contact with your urine.

• A pink marker is the best option to use.
• The result will look more leverage if you draw all the lines. By doing so, you also don't have to dip the test kit in your urine.
• In addition to making the test kit have been exposed to urine, wetting it will make the outline of the line blurred. As a result, the lines that arise will look more real.

Step 4. Take a pregnancy test at least an hour before pranking those closest to you

Since most pregnancy test kits will only show accurate results within the first few minutes, try taking the pregnancy test at least an hour before pranking those around you to give the urine time to evaporate. After yawning, the lines that appear in the test kit window will darken and oftentimes, the condition will show a false positive result. After the results look positive, pretend to take him to the bathroom and do a check.

Although not necessarily successful, it is common for evaporated urine to show false positive results on test kits

Step 5. Use an expired pregnancy test kit to get a false positive result

Although it can be done, actually finding an expired pregnancy test is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. If you still want to give it a try, try asking if any of your friends still have expired test kits, or check online stores to find someone who sells them. In some countries, expired pregnancy test kits can also be found at thrift stores or stores selling discounted items.

• Usually, the expiration date will be listed on the packaging of the pregnancy test kit.
• While it doesn't always work, in some cases, an expired pregnancy test will give a false positive result.

Step 6. Ask a friend who is pregnant to provide a urine sample

While disgusting, this method is guaranteed to get you a positive pregnancy test result! If interested, ask your friend to urinate in an airtight container, such as a glass jar. After that, take the container to the bathroom and dip the pregnancy test in it to get a positive result.

• Be careful not to splash urine on your body!
• If desired, the same sample can be used to falsify multiple test results at once.

Tips

• Don't let the joke go on too long! Instead, immediately provide the correct information after getting a reaction from the people closest to you.
• Although generally a woman's pregnancy won't be visible until a few months, try arching your back slightly to make your tummy look rounder.

Warning

• The behavior of faking a pregnancy can make it difficult for others to trust you in the future. In addition, negative reactions are prone to arise when those closest to you realize that your pregnancy is just a joke.
• Don't falsify medical documents because this activity can be categorized as a criminal offense of forgery, although the risk is highly dependent on the scale of your joke. To avoid this possibility, make sure you always play it safe and don't go outside of the various legal restrictions that exist.
