Finding out you're going to become a parent is life-changing news - for some people, it's a joy, but others might find it difficult to wrap their heads around.
One man is reportedly finding it very hard to understand - so much so that he's going to ask his partner for a maternity test.
According to a Reddit post, which has gone viral on social media, the man, known only as Dan, has been in an on/off relationship for a while and his partner is now pregnant.
As there have been other people involved, the couple are planning to get a paternity test once the baby is born.
However, this step wasn't enough for Dan and so he's demanding she also gets a maternity test - to prove the baby is hers.

Taking to Reddit's Am I The A**hole forum, a friend of Dan claimed: "AITA for calling my friend an idiot for wanting a maternity test?
"My friend Dan recently found out he might be a father. I say might because the girl he's been having an off/on relationship with, Kara, is pregnant, and he's not sure if he's the dad. She offered to get a paternity test once the baby is born and doesn't expect any kind of support until they find out if the baby is his.
"He's on board with that and appreciates that she's not pushing him into fatherhood if the baby isn't his. The issue is that when he was talking to me about it, he also said he wants to get a 'maternity' test done to make sure the baby is hers.
"Kara is visibly pregnant. We know she's pregnant because she did a maternity photoshoot and posted it on social media, so it's obvious she's not faking being pregnant. We've both seen her in person, too and she's most definitely pregnant. However, Dan believes that the baby might not be hers."
The friend says they've tried to explain to Dan that this isn't how biology works and that the only way the baby wouldn't be hers is if she had an embryo implanted in her.
However, they don't think this is likely, as they continue to say: "It's ridiculous to think that she'd do all that just to baby trap a guy who is unemployed and living with his parents at 32. Plus he's never donated sperm.
"He's genuinely convinced that the baby might not biologically be hers despite not only me, his mom, and our other friends explaining that that's not how babies/pregnancy works. He's still insisting on a 'maternity' test and told me that I was being ridiculous and that I'm the one who doesn't understand biology despite me studying to be an autopsy pathologist which has required quite literally years of biology classes.
"I got fed up and called him a senseless idiot and told him to call me when he got his head screwed back on straight. Ever since then he's been spamming my phone and has gotten a couple of our friends to spam me as well, telling me I'm being insensitive and he's just stressed about possibly being a dad. So, AITA for calling my friend an idiot?"
Thousands of people responded to the post, with many agreeing the friend was right to call Dan out.
One person replied: "Tell him that to help with his stress you found a free maternity test - stand in a delivery room and see if a baby shoots of out of a hooha."
Another said: "I’m legit crying laughing right now, sorry you have to go through this."
A third wrote: "NTA but to be honest, I would pay to see a doctor's reaction to being asked to perform this test."
