3-year-old kept telling his mom she had a baby in her tummy — then the test made her do a double take
Young children say many things that parents do not always take seriously at first. On March 17, 2026, Olivia Hammond shared an Instagram video under the handle @olivia_hammond about her 3-year-old son, who kept saying that she was pregnant. At first, it seemed like playful imagination, but his persistence made Olivia pause and wonder if there could be more to it. After hearing him insist multiple times, she decided to take a pregnancy test, and the results shocked her, making her question whether her child might have psychic abilities.
Olivia explained how her son was adamant and kept insisting, “You’ve got a baby in your tummy, Mummy.” He repeatedly expressed how he couldn't wait for another baby sister. She admitted, “He won’t take no for an answer.” The first time, she ignored him, thinking it was just a cute comment on a random morning. However, a day or two later, he repeated it, and by the third time, Olivia decided to take a pregnancy test. She had been four days late on her period and had been feeling sick for two days. When the test confirmed her suspicions, she exclaimed, “Oh my God, I’m pregnant,” realizing her son had been right all along.
The experience left Olivia both amazed and touched. She shared how exhausted she felt, having just moved to a new home, and with her own wedding coming up in four months, which made her anxious about whether her child could really be right. "Safe to say I was a little overwhelmed with everything happening at once!" While the pressure of everything made her worry, she was also excited about the news.
She later described her son as an indigo child and now takes “every word he says as gospel.” According to Got Questions, "Indigo children" is a New Age term describing kids believed to have unique spiritual traits from an early age. It was introduced by parapsychologist Nancy Ann Tappe, who claimed to see indigo-colored auras around certain children. Over time, the concept has evolved, and today it carries a range of interpretations.
"Beau telling us felt like a very special sign that the timing is meant to be for our family," Hammond added in the caption. Many internet users responded to Olivia’s post with their own experiences. Some shared how their children noticed pregnancies or other changes before anyone else, while others described intuitive moments that felt uncanny. @_firsttimemum_ expressed in the comments section, "Aww, I love that he knew before you! What a special boy."
@romytatiya remarked, "Oh my God, my son told me I was pregnant with my daughter too! Didn’t say it was a girl, but told me I was pregnant and boom." @hudson.andme mentioned, "Children definitely have a sixth sense, my son knew I was having a little girl as he kept saying I’ve got a sister in mummy’s tummy even before I found out."
