Jennie Garth, remembered for her role as Kelly in Beverly Hills, 90210, recently shared about the time she was mistakenly told she was pregnant during her teenage years.

The 53-year-old actress revealed the story on last Tuesday’s (26) episode of her podcast I Choose Me, which featured her youngest daughter, Fiona, 18.
The topic came up after a listener asked the pair how to approach the subject of birth control with their mother, which led Garth to recall a “traumatic” episode from her adolescence.
The actress began by explaining that she went with her mother to a clinic to start birth control because her periods were very irregular. In truth, she just wanted to protect herself, since she was seeing a boy at the time.
“I didn’t want to have a baby without being prepared. So we went to the appointment, and the appointment was to explore birth control options,” Garth explained.
She then took a urine test and was sitting with her mother in the waiting room when, suddenly, a nurse came out and said: “Well, you’re pregnant.”
“I instantly turned completely red. I was hot, sweaty. I didn’t know what to do because at that moment I had to be honest with my mom—in the most uncomfortable situation—about the fact that I already had […] and that I was lying to her about it.”
“I think it was much more traumatic and dramatic than if I had just gone to her and talked about it. I was also so scared to talk to my mom about it, to the point of lying and hiding the truth from her,” the actress added.
After all the chaos, Garth said they had made a mistake and that “it was someone else’s urine test.” “I was furious,” Garth admitted. “The truth always comes out,” Fiona added.
Garth concluded by saying she believes “it’s important to open the channels of communication… there’s nothing you shouldn’t talk to your mom about.” “There’s no shame in it. It’s something natural and deserves for you to feel comfortable.”
