A woman has sparked discussion online after revealing she kept her pregnancy secret from her family until after giving birth. 
She later surprised relatives during facetime calls by introducing them to her newborn for the first time. 
And when she finally revealed through facetime that she had welcomed a new child, many of her family members seemed to have the same reaction: “Who’s baby is that?” 
This woman kept her pregnancy a secret from her family due to being scared of how they would treat her, and their reaction to the surprise says it all pic.twitter.com/qXFmkIFYX6

Woman Introduces Newborn to Relatives After Keeping Pregnancy Secret 
The clip, which was reshared by X user @JCFights, opens with the woman appearing to be going into labor. 
The caption reads, “I hid my pregnancy from my whole family.” 
The video then cuts to her calling different family members on facetime, starting with her aunt Melissa. 
When her aunt answers the phone, the woman already has the camera pointed toward the newborn baby sleeping in a rocking chair. 
Her aunt immediately asks, “Whose baby is that?” 
The woman responds, “Mine.” 
Her aunt then appears confused, asking, “You just had another baby?” 
The video then cuts to another facetime call, this time with the woman’s younger sister. 
Just like her aunt, her sister sees the baby and asks, “Who’s baby is that?” 
The woman tells her, “Your nephew.” 
Her sister then asks, “Which one?” 
before the woman tells her the baby’s name is Cashton. 
Still confused, her sister asks, “Who’s Cashton?” 
She then questions why her sister didn’t tell her about the baby but quickly dismisses the story by suggesting her sister is lying. 
The woman then explains that he was born the day after her sister’s birthday but was originally expected to arrive on her birthday. 
Still not convinced, her sister continues asking questions before eventually asking who the baby’s father is because, as she says, “I’m nosy.” 
I can’t hide anything from my momma or sister. 
It’s not a day that we don’t talk to each other. & we always telling each other where we going.. 
I feel bad for her in a way. either she has too many kids or her family just toxic.

The woman then calls her sister-in-law, who is also totally shocked that she had welcomed a baby without anyone knowing. 
She also calls her mom, who is excited about the news but apologizes, saying, “Grandma’s so sorry I didn’t know.” 
The only person who doesn’t seem completely shocked is her “nonchalant little brother,” as she put it. 
But just like her family members, people in the comments were also surprised by the fact that she was allegedly able to keep her pregnancy concealed the entire time. 
“Wow, she was able to hide a whole pregnancy for 9 months. 
Your secrets will definitely be safe with her,” one person wrote. 
Meanwhile, another person questioned why someone would hide a pregnancy from their family, writing, “Ppl only hide pregnancy from family for one reason. 
It’s not cute.” 
The Daily Dot was unable to independently verify the claims made in the video, which is based on footage reshared on X and the reactions shown in the clip.
