When actresses get pregnant, their baby bumps are often integrated into the script. Authors usually try their best to incorporate a pregnancy somehow harmoniously into the story, but that doesn’t always work out: in such cases, the set crew has to come up with something.
Laundry baskets are used to hide the baby bumps, and boxes of cornflakes or cinnamon plants are used to keep the pregnancy a secret. And more often than not, the hiding game works really well.
