And, of course, now that I'm looking for it, it is incredibly obvious, but I absolutely didn't notice at the time.

Knowing she was pregnant at the time of that wedding scene really makes charles “get pregnant” line extra funny 😂

[kemokage]

“Why are you holding that box?”
“I just love this box!”
Great example of working with an actress when she gets pregnant and letting it add to the comedy instead of writing her character out and firing her.

I love the honesty about the last one
just gave up and made Amy pregnant

[summerhope]

In wedding she wasn't that obviously pregnant i think they could've gotten away with it even without the bouquet. The scene where she "pretends" to be pregnant is funny and creative you could see how careful Jake was with her belly while Amy just manhandles like it's nothing

[EMD]

Fun fact about Stephanie Beatriz's pregnacy: She was also pregnant during the making of 'Encanto' but since it was animated, it was safer if everyone just recorded from their homes covid-wise. Stephanie actually went into labour during recording 'Waiting on a Miracle' but didn't want to cause a fuss so powered through. Later everyone was amazed at how she managed to portray so much pain in the characters voice

“Rubber bands … that man really knows me” I’m dying that’s so funny

[cameronsitton]

"EAT THE NOTE" is such an iconic moment

[WhyIsGhostInTheArena]

I've never seen a single episode of this show but I was thoroughly invested in how they hid this woman's pregnancy. The algorithm got me again

[anxiousbean]

i love how jakes like “amy. women don’t watch..” and then amy and charles are both like “uh yeah. women do.” and jake is just purely intrigued

[ianagulino]

In the one where she was supposed to be fakely pregnant to go undercover in prison you can tell its her real baby belly by the way they all wiggle it so gently whenever they do, like, Andy moved the shirt around rather than the belly but made it look as if he was grabbing and shaking the "fake" belly

[bigfrankfraser]

i love that the wrote her pregnancy into the show rather than do what other shows would have and find a way to write out the character

[nikolaa]

I love how when they're discussing the Isabel Cortez disguise, Jake very carefully pats her belly, while Amy just shakes the hell out of it

[aristired]

I noticed in the cruise episode, it was pretty obvious with the “if you like piña coladas” scene. I somehow never noticed before or after that episode though lol.The jail one was genius, especially because they added the whole “I don’t know, will they even buy that I’m pregnant?”

[igotmencalledgot]

Actually an error they hid the first one behind doug and jake's chemistry

[globbyakaweirdjellyguy]

Love Jake being understandably disgusted at realizing where the toilets on the cruise ship dump.😂
Also, I love that Gina was the only one to realize the gift basket was from Kevin to Raymond.🤣🤣

[sissyisrael]

If you watch enough TV you'll be able to tell when they're hiding a pregnancy. It's pretty much just like this for every show lol

[gwenethp]

Reminds me of The Nanny, where CC has to carry a bunch of things to hide her actress's pregnancy XD

[shavonnepayne]

I absolutely love how she man handles her stomach with the fake prison pregnancy and Jake is so gentle 😂

[error]

The gift basket was such a good bit. Like great job hiding her pregnancy but even better as an actual comedic scene. W writers able to pull that off without us even knowing
