She said that she actually had to try and make changes to her character's costume to conceal her bump, saying, “But my clothes started not to fit so I had to, the other day ... cut [my jeans] open. And then I put a jacket on that wasn’t in continuity and [they] came and said: ‘That’s not in continuity.’ I said: 'Oh, I think it works.’ ‘It doesn’t.’ ‘No, it does. I’m going to make it work.'"
