7 Actresses Who Had to Hide Their Pregnancy During Filming

Jenna Fischer — The Office

It’s very rare for actresses to get pregnant twice during a show’s production cycle, and it’s especially awkward when the first pregnancy was scripted but the second one came out of the blue. That’s what Jenna Fischer had to go through when she was pregnant with her first child right after giving birth to the fake one. Jenna didn’t know if she should tell the crew about her situation, so she decided to ask the costume designers for some extra-large clothes to hide the growing belly. Naturally, you can’t really keep that cat inside a bag for long, and eventually, everyone knew Jenna was pregnant. Luckily, the writers found a good way to write that second baby into the script.
