I mean why? Wouldn't it be much more realistic and relatable if the ad was like "oh thank fuck I'm not pregnant"

Also, why the fuck is she taking a pregnancy test that far into pregnancy? Why did she think her belly got so big in that way?

You say that, but my sister was 7 months pregnant before it finally occured to her thatvshe might be pregnant. She said that she thought she was just getting fat. She had 2 other kids before that.

My mom works in labor and delivery and there are a concerning number of people who show up to the hospital actively in labor who insist that there is no possible way that they're pregnant.

Sex ed is real fucking bad in some areas.
