Did Twitch streamer Maya Higa actually announce her pregnancy on Twitter? Here is what actually happened

Twitch streamer Maya Higa recently took Twitter for a ride after she made a "formal announcement" on the social media platform stating that she was pregnant. The video showed her with a pregnancy kit that displayed a double line, indicative of a positive pregnancy.

A look at the video will make it clear that this is a joke, since she simply used an online filter test. However, a major portion of her followers fell for the joke, and started congratulating her, commenting in joyful disbelief. These were some of her fans' reactions:

Please don’t play with my emotions like this

Congratulations!!!!!! The perfect balance in parents, this child will be blessed!!
