EITHER Facebook has just worked out a way to tell if you’ve got a bun in the oven or it’s just given one girl a hell of a fright.

Despite advances in camera technology, it didn’t detect a bub in the making. But it did give Reddit user delilou a mini freak out.

Facebook certainly hasn’t decided to start dishing out catty hints. It’s more likely the pattern on the girl’s dress confused the algorithm into thinking it saw human facial features.

Phew!
