Thank you for captioning it, I was about to ask questions.

My mom works in the labor and delivery department at the local hospital. I won't say it's terribly common but, on several occasions, people have been brought in actively in labor but insist there is no possible way that they're pregnant. The mind boggles.

Unfortunately it is because of people like that that most hospitals insist on pregnancy testing every woman that comes in for anything regardless of what they say.

There used to be a whole TV show for that

Were these people visibly pregnant and in denial or weren’t really showing?

Some were one some were the other.

I once got asked if I'm pregnant at a hospital. I don't have a uterus because I'm trans. I think maybe the doctors are being a little too careful

Surprise! Turns out she's not pregnant and just needs to cut back on the beer and pork cracklin's.

It's a DNA test.

Looks like that dude from shameless. Or that restaurant show I don't care about.
