That’s what happened for one couple who took to Reddit to seek advice on unusual readings on her fitness tracker, reports The Independent.

“My wife’s Fitbit is showing her heartbeat being consistently high over the last few days. 2 days ago, a somewhat normal day, she logged 10 hours in the fat burning zone, which I would think to be impossible based on her activity level. Also her calories burned do seem accurate…”

“I’m not sure if something is wrong with the sensor. Is there a way to reset or recalibrate the device? Id like to try that before I contact customer service about a possible replacement.”

Several Reddit users offered suggestions about how the Fitbit might be fixed but one reply focused more on the person wearing the device.

“Has she experienced anything really stressful in the last few days or is it a possibility she is pregnant,” wrote one user.

“I might be a dad, YIKES. Now I gotta watch my own heart rate lol,” he responded.

A day later, he posted that his wife was indeed pregnant.
