Hide Your Pregnancy: Difference between revisions

* When [[Traylor Howard]] got pregnant during the fourth season of ''[[Monk]]'', she was usually filmed chest up in the usual way. However, in one episode her character Natalie is uncomfortable being around an old, obsessive boyfriend (played by [[Sean Astin]]!) and stuffs a pillow under her shirt so he'll think she's pregnant, allowing them to shoot her normally.

* Completely averted with Kari Byron of ''[[Myth Busters]]'', with the show being a non-fiction science series and all. Because of her pregnancy, she [[Alcohol Is Poison|couldn't participate in the hangover myth.]] Didn't stop her from enjoying Grant and Tory's discomfiture and their [[Hangover Sensitivity]] [[Jerkass|way too much, though]]. She also exercised extra precautions when doing gun myths.

* Parodied on ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]''. In-universe, Avery is trying to hide her pregnancy from her superiors. Cue her carrying around ridiculously oversized objects, and coaxing a friend into "wizard robes" fashionable.

** This may have been lampshade hanging for Tina Fey's own pregnancy which was becoming visible at that time.
