A woman has shared her shocking story of discovering that she and her husband were given the wrong child to take home from the hospital.
At first, her husband accused her of cheating after going behind her back to take a paternity test. When the results came back negative, all hell broke loose in their home.
However, his wife said that she had never been unfaithful and he was the only possible father of the five-year-old girl, the Mirror reports.
The mum has now shared the full-story in a viral Reddit post which is also being shared widely across TikTok and YouTube.
Writing on Reddit's Relationships forum, she said: "My husband got a paternity test on our daughter and it came back negative, but I never cheated. Now he thinks our relationship is a lie and wants to divorce.
"I don't know how it happened and I haven't been able to stop crying all day. I never cheated. I love my husband, we've been together since college and he's the love of my life, he's handsome and kind and while I've slept with two other people, both were before we got together.
"There is no other potential father for our daughter. We were married already and actively trying for a baby.
"I never cheated, I never would cheat, and I don't know why he took that stupid test because I would never, ever cheat, but it came back negative and now he thinks he's not her dad. I don't know how to convince him it was a faulty test and I'm so scared."
The woman then goes on to say her partner had been acting differently and continued to accuse her of infidelity. She decided to prove her innocence by doing her own tests but then the situations gets even stranger.
In an update to the post, she continued: "We did a few tests. Blood paternity tests for him and me, and our daughter, and we had an appointment with a chimerism specialist coming up, but that got cancelled because, well, some of you guessed it, but my daughter is not biologically mine either.
"I don't know how this happened, but a police officer came to our house and took our statements, and we're suing the hospital where I gave birth. I don't know what happened to my baby, and that is terrifying.
"I have my husband back, but my whole world was still upended, and I just wish he'd never taken that stupid test.
"I've been sleeping in my daughter's room, and I'm so afraid that she's going to be taken away from me, but at the same time I want to know where my biological daughter is, and if she's okay. I pray to god she's okay."
Many people couldn't believe what they were reading and took to the social media comments to share their thoughts.
One person wrote: "I thought he was looking to leave her and he lied about the test."
Another said: "WHAT THE F**K...? This is not the update I expected, not in a million years."
A third added: "There was an IVF case like this recently. The mothers actually gave birth to the other woman's embryo.
"So it was also the child they birthed."
