Expectant or not, the woman was slammed as 'despicable'.
Within days of it being posted online, she had more than 10,000 retweets and 11,000 likes on her picture.
Screenshots of her heated exchange with the baby's apparent father also went viral.
The man, calling himself King Nathan VI and tweeting under the handle Rodriguez The God, responded to her first picture: 'Instead of letting me know it was my baby you decided to come on Twitter with this bull***?'
She shot back: 'Sorry you had to find out this way,' to which he replied, 'Holy s***'.
The drama continued.
'That's why I asked you for money but you blocked me so f*** it,' said the woman.
His response revealed an even more outlandish scenario.

'You told everyone I died then sold my dog for tickets to a lil pump concert'.
Whether or not their accusations or threats are genuine was discussed by followers.
Many dubious Twitter users found humor in the posts and ridiculed the pair.
Others, some of whom seemed to believe the woman's threat, failed to see the funny side.
'Why? Ever think this happened for a reason? You're already almost halfway there. You can get help and there are adoption agencies,' said one concerned user.
'How sad has to be your life to do this?' asked another while one person fumed: 'To let retweets dictate if your [sic] going to keep your baby or not is just despicable.'
