Bride with fertility issues given pregnancy tests at wedding

A bride has revealed she was gifted pregnancy tests at her wedding, despite guests knowing she doesn’t want children and has a medical condition which makes becoming pregnant improbable.

The woman made the shock admission online and called the gifts ‘insensitive’ given her situation.

“Someone gave me a pregnancy test, pacifiers, and onesies as a wedding gift and that is just super inappropriate?” she wrote on Twitter.

“Even if I wanted children (which I don't) I am infertile and a gift like that is extremely insensitive.”

She went on to explain many of her guests knew her situation and stance on being child-free, but blamed the gift on ‘Mormon newlywed culture’ — as the Christian denomination typically places emphasis on having a large family.

“These people know I'm infertile, and they know I don't want to have kids,” she wrote.

“They keep telling me over and over again, I'll change my mind or that I'm being selfish and immature for not having kids. I have repeatedly asked them to not bring it up.”

In 2015, the Pew Research Centre concluded 71 per cent of adult Mormons were married, compared to just 52 per cent of the wider US population.

Similarly, members of the church have an average 3.4 children in their lifetime compared to the comparable figure of 2.1 for the rest of the US.

But online users were quick to clap back at the wedding present, with some sharing similar experiences with off-beat gifts.

“I got a baby blanket from my church as a high school graduation gift. Because, obviously,” wrote one woman.

“I totally agree that this is incredibly weird and unacceptable. Nothing would make that okay as a wedding gift,” added another.

However, some women disagreed, writing family-focused gifts could be a practical choice - if the couple openly planned on having children in the near future.

“I got some baby stuff and actually really appreciated it? But I also wouldn't plan on giving it as a gift myself,” she wrote.
