Complain that you missed your period for several days before. Your joke will be more believable if you clear the way first by saying you’re late for your period. Mention this several days before you plan to announce your pregnancy. ^{[1] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source}

You can say, “You know what, I should have gotten a red light two days ago and I still haven’t seen it now. I hope it comes soon so I can go to Kim’s pool party.”
If the person you’re trying to trick doesn’t respond, you need to add another sentence, such as “I’m worried if my period is late. Do you think there’s something wrong with me?”

Fake morning sickness by pretending to be vomiting and nauseous. Morning sickness is a common early sign of pregnancy that almost everyone will recognize. You can apologize and run to the bathroom, flushing the toilet to make it sound like you’re vomiting. Plus, deal with “morning sickness” by nibbling on crackers, drinking soft drinks, and eating small meals. ^{[2] X Research Source}

Dab some water on your forehead after pretending to vomit to make it look like you’re sweating from vomiting.
Strong odors often make pregnant women nauseous. Cry out every time you smell something too strong.

Go to the bathroom often to pretend you have to pee a lot. During pregnancy, the amount of blood in your body increases, which means your kidneys will have to filter more fluid. This fluid turns into urine, so you have to go to the bathroom more often. Also, complain that you have to urinate a lot these days. ^{[3] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source}

Say, “I’m so tired of having to pee all the time, it’s like I can’t get out of the bathroom” or “I feel like I need to pee all the time. I hope I’m not pregnant.”

Tip: You can increase your need to urinate by eating more fruits, such as watermelon, citrus, pineapple, kumquat, tomatoes, plums, bananas, and apples. The higher the amount of water in the fruit, the more you have to pee. Another option is to use diuretics, such as caffeine and carbonated soft drinks.

Make it look like your breasts are swollen and painful. Hormonal changes in the early weeks of pregnancy can cause you to experience breast pain, even before you know you’re pregnant. Talk about this uncomfortable feeling to the person you’re joking with. You can even place a warm compress on your chest to “relieve the pain.” ^{[4] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source}

If you live in the same house as that person, you can get noticed by taking off your bra at home. Said, “I find it uncomfortable to wear a bra. Looks like your breasts are bigger than usual.”

Pretend to be tired all the time. During pregnancy, your body produces more progesterone and makes you more tired. This means that you will start to feel tired from day one. You can fake this symptom by telling people you’re tired. Plus, take a nap during the day or pretend to fall asleep in the middle of the day. ^{[5] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source}

Don’t pretend to be asleep at work or at school, or you’ll get in trouble.
You might say, “I shouldn’t be this tired, because I slept for 9 hours last night, not a little. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”

Shows emotion and tears easily. Pregnancy causes hormone levels to fluctuate and leads to mood swings. You can fake this sign by pretending to cry during commercials or when watching a sad meme. Also, act angry over a small thing, then pretend to cry. ^{[6] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source}

For example, you could show the other person an animation of a dog, then burst into tears and say, “Oh my god, that’s so cute.”

Pretend to be craving weird things. While cravings don’t usually happen in the first weeks of pregnancy, it’s the most obvious sign of pregnancy. If you pretend to crave strange foods, the person you’re teasing will think you’re pregnant. You can ask for snacks like pickled cucumbers and ice cream or order peanut butter to spread on hot dogs. If your stomach is not so strong, prepare your own smoothie and list the strange ingredients in it. ^{[7] X Research Sources}

You might say “Um… this smoothie is delicious. I put pickled cucumbers and fish in here because I’m naturally craving for it.”

False positive results

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c6/Fake-Pregnancy-Step-1-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Fake-Pregnancy-Step-1- Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c6/Fake-Pregnancy-Step-1-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Fake- Pregnancy-Step-1-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Buying a fake pregnancy test is the easiest option. A false pregnancy test is the best choice because it always gives a positive result. Buy this pregnancy test, take it to the bathroom and urinate like a real test. Wait for the results to appear and show the other person. ^{[8] X Research Sources}

You can buy fake pregnancy tests online or at prank stores.
Be sure to read and follow the product’s instructions for it to work.

Tip: One downside to fake pregnancy tests is that you may be asked to take the test again just to be sure. Maybe you should buy a few sticks in case you have to try them twice.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e8/Fake-Pregnancy-Step-2-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Fake-Pregnancy-Step-2- Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e8/Fake-Pregnancy-Step-2-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Fake- Pregnancy-Step-2-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Dip the tip of the pregnancy test into a cup of Coke or Pepsi. Some ingredients used to make soda water have properties that are close to pregnancy hormone, so it can give false positive results. Take a can of coke into the bathroom when you take a pregnancy test. Dip the tip of the test strip in soda water instead of urine. Remember to hide the coke before you open the bathroom door. ^{[9] X Research Source}

You may be asked to try again just to be sure, so keep an extra can of soda in the bathroom just in case. Keep it somewhere that other people can’t see it, like in your makeup case or tampon container.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/aa/Fake-Pregnancy-Step-3-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Fake-Pregnancy-Step-3- Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/aa/Fake-Pregnancy-Step-3-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Fake- Pregnancy-Step-3-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Open the pregnancy test and draw one more line to fake a positive result. Most pregnancy tests come with two removable pieces of plastic on the front and back. You can use a thin piece of metal, such as the tip of tweezers or a nail file, to pry the front up, and then draw a line with a marker the same color as the test line to fake a positive. Dab some water on the pregnancy test to make it look like you’ve peeed on it and put it back on. ^{[10] X Research Source}

Light pink markers are the best choice.
The result will be more realistic if you draw both lines. That way you won’t have to pee on the test strip.
In addition to making the test strip look like it was used, wetting the test strip also makes the lines you’ve just drawn blurry and more realistic.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/13/Fake-Pregnancy-Step-4-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Fake-Pregnancy-Step-4- Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/13/Fake-Pregnancy-Step-4-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Fake- Pregnancy-Step-4-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Take a test strip at least 1 hour before you “announce” you are pregnant. Most pregnancy tests only give accurate results in a few minutes. After that point, the urine on the stick begins to evaporate making the lines darker and more like a positive. You can take advantage of this feature by taking a pregnancy test at least an hour in advance. When you see a result that looks positive, take it to the bathroom and pretend to try it. ^{[11] X Research Source}

This tip doesn’t always work, but it’s a common cause of false-positive results.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b8/Fake-Pregnancy-Step-5-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Fake-Pregnancy-Step-5- Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b8/Fake-Pregnancy-Step-5-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Fake- Pregnancy-Step-5-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Try using an expired pregnancy test for a false positive. Expired pregnancy tests can also give false positives, but such a test can be quite difficult to find. Try asking a friend if they have an old pregnancy test, or look on eBay to see if anyone sells them. You can also find them at thrift stores or discount stores. ^{[12] X Research Source}

Expiry date will be printed on the product box.
This is not always successful, but often taking an expired pregnancy test often gives a false positive result.

Get a urine sample from a pregnant woman. While it’s a bit gross, it’s a surefire way to get a positive result. You can ask a pregnant friend to pee in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Take that urine sample into the bathroom for a “pregnancy test”. ^{[13] X Research Source}

Be careful not to get urine on your body.
You can use the same urine sample to fake results more than once.

Advice

Don’t joke around. Tell the truth as soon as you fool everyone.
Although your belly isn’t usually visible for the first few months, you can arch your back a little to give it a rounder appearance.

Warning

Pretending to be pregnant can make people stop believing you. In addition, you may face consequences when people find out it was just a joke.
Don’t falsify medical documents, as this is considered forgery, depending on how far your prank goes. It’s best not to get yourself in trouble with the law. ^{[14] X Research Source}
