AITA for going off on my husband and his mom for taking/keeping my used pregnancy test?

In a family eager to embrace the miracle of new beginnings, the wife’s sense of trust shatters as she confronts the unsettling reality that her private experience was turned into a token for others without her consent.
The celebration dinner becomes a battleground of raw emotions, where excitement clashes with discomfort and betrayal.

The original poster experienced extreme discomfort and felt violated when her husband gifted her used pregnancy test to his mother as a keepsake.
This action created a deep conflict: the husband and his family viewed it as a sentimental gesture celebrating the pregnancy, while the OP felt this crossed a significant personal boundary due to the intimate nature of the item. When faced with this boundary violation, the OP reacted with intense anger and left the event.
The core question remains whether the OP's extreme negative reaction was an overreaction compared to the family's intent, or if the husband and mother-in-law fundamentally disregarded the OP's bodily autonomy and right to privacy regarding her personal waste.
