It bothers me so badly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-notice-when-actresses-are-pregnant-in-rl-but-not-on-their-tv-show#post-462246 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 21:54:38 +0000 loveisstrange 462246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: Was she really? I had no idea!</p> <p>The 2 I remember being really obvious were Billie Piper on Diary of a Call Girl and Amy Brenneman on Judging Amy. They both got extremely thick around the middle and lost their curves from behind. Billie Piper was especially obvious because they were still dressing her in lingerie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-notice-when-actresses-are-pregnant-in-rl-but-not-on-their-tv-show#post-462240 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 21:49:32 +0000 MediaNaranja 462240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was totally obvious when Alyson Hannigan was pregnant on HIMYM. The funny thing though, is that the actress who plays Robin was also pregnant during that same time and you can't really tell at all! Her face stayed really thin and she just wore flowy shirts and carried big bags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-notice-when-actresses-are-pregnant-in-rl-but-not-on-their-tv-show#post-462237 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 21:46:21 +0000 JerricaBenton 462237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: That's so funny! I guess they have all kinds of tricks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-notice-when-actresses-are-pregnant-in-rl-but-not-on-their-tv-show#post-462015 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 18:38:49 +0000 tororojo 462015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: Haha that's what I thought of! I watch Cosby reruns sometimes and it's pretty funny how they invented things to cover her belly. On the last one I watched she stayed in bed for no reason, and apparently they raised the kitchen counters that season so she could stand behind them with her bump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-notice-when-actresses-are-pregnant-in-rl-but-not-on-their-tv-show#post-461297 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 01:35:32 +0000 HLK208 461297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: I thought of Allisom Hannigan too! Totally obvious. She was super thin the previous season though so it was easy to tell from her face alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-notice-when-actresses-are-pregnant-in-rl-but-not-on-their-tv-show#post-460935 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:49:23 +0000 Sweet T 460935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed Ellen Pompeo on Grey's Anatomy. There was a period where she had surgery and then was stuck in a bed for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-notice-when-actresses-are-pregnant-in-rl-but-not-on-their-tv-show#post-460932 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:44:10 +0000 JerricaBenton 460932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't notice at the time, cuz I was so little, but when I watch reruns of the Cosby Show I can tell when Claire was pregnant because she is always sitting with things in front of her. In one episode she is sewing a repair on this enormous teddy bear for the whole episode! </p> <p>There is an actress on General Hospital and I can always tell when she's pregnant because she is congested the whole time, haha. It's Liz Webber if anyone watches ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-notice-when-actresses-are-pregnant-in-rl-but-not-on-their-tv-show#post-460914 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:30:40 +0000 Ash 460914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was obvious Courtney Cox was pregnant in the last season of Friends. I don't know why I don't remember Debra Messing being pregnant!! That was a long time ago.... That's my excuse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-notice-when-actresses-are-pregnant-in-rl-but-not-on-their-tv-show#post-460906 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:27:05 +0000 prettylizy 460906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no idea Elaine was pregnant in Seinfeld, but maybe it was because I was young and didn't clue in </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-notice-when-actresses-are-pregnant-in-rl-but-not-on-their-tv-show#post-460902 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:23:29 +0000 BelugaBean 460902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I almost feel like she has to be! Her stomach looks very rounded with a lot of empire waists. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-notice-when-actresses-are-pregnant-in-rl-but-not-on-their-tv-show#post-460898 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:20:51 +0000 mrbee 460898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BelugaBean: Aahhhh... was she pregnant? That explains a lot!</p> <p>@mediagirl: Yah maybe she wasn't that far along. Or maybe they just a bigger budget for digital effects! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-notice-when-actresses-are-pregnant-in-rl-but-not-on-their-tv-show#post-460895 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:19:12 +0000 mediagirl 460895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: uh... She got rounder everywhere! Haha. I noticed that big time. @mrbee: Did not notice Carrie but I just wonder when it was shot vs how far along she was. She just had her baby this week and the season just ended! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-notice-when-actresses-are-pregnant-in-rl-but-not-on-their-tv-show#post-460894 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:17:23 +0000 BelugaBean 460894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maya Rudolph looks pregnant in this season of Up All Night but I can't remember when she had her baby.</p> <p>@Bao: I remember that! She wore a lot of sweatsuits and big shirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-notice-when-actresses-are-pregnant-in-rl-but-not-on-their-tv-show#post-460892 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:15:09 +0000 doodlepoodle 460892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: When I read the title to this post I immediately thought about Debra Messing! Carrying around a pillow, hiding behind the kitchen counter or a giant messenger bag. :) You could also tell with Alyson Hannigan on How I Met your Mother, but not quite as obvious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-notice-when-actresses-are-pregnant-in-rl-but-not-on-their-tv-show#post-460878 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:05:40 +0000 Bao 460878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I do!! In King of Queens I believe she was pregnant at some point. They would never show her belly and she got rounder in the face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-notice-when-actresses-are-pregnant-in-rl-but-not-on-their-tv-show#post-460874 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:03:45 +0000 mrbee 460874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When Jane Leeves was pregnant on Frasier, you could totally tell... Daphne Moon would always be sitting at a table, plus she was really showing in her face. (I thought the plot they came up with why she had gained so much weight was genius though!)</p> <p>Same goes for Debra Messing as Grace Adler (Will &amp; Grace)... I could totally tell she was pregnant (as I'm sure could most of the world).</p> <p>Supposedly Claire Danes was pregnant this season Homeland though, and I totally didn't notice.</p> <p>Do you notice when actresses are pregnant in real life but not on their TV show? </p>
