Beverly Hills, 90210 vet Jennie Garth reveals she was mistakenly told she was PREGNANT when she was teen

by

Jennie Garth was once mistakenly told she was pregnant during her teenage years. 

On the most recent installment of her podcast “I Choose Me,” the 53-year-old actress was interviewing her youngest child, Fiona (age 18), who is preparing for college. They traded microphone time during their conversation.

In a Q&A setting, a curious spectator sought advice on how to discuss birth control with her own daughter.

That’s when the Beverly Hills 90210 actress shared her own ‘terrible/funny/awkward/terrible story.’

The actress from “The Bad Influence” shared that she and her mother visited a family planning clinic, seeking advice on contraception due to her experiencing irregular menstrual cycles.

However, what she didn’t fully disclose is that she had a boyfriend and her primary concern was ensuring safety. She wasn’t planning to have a child unprepared, so they visited the clinic with the aim of discussing contraceptive methods.

Despite Garth attempting to deceive, it didn’t take long before his trick was uncovered. This revelation came unexpectedly when at the clinic, they were informed that she was pregnant. The clinician delivered this news upon returning to the room, under the assumption they were sharing the results of Garth’s urine test.

‘I was like, “What?” And then all of a sudden, like, the cat was out of the bag.’

Fiona inquired, “Was this man my father?” Given that he is one of the three daughters shared by TV Guide Award winner Peter Facinelli, 51, and his ex-wife, Garth clarified, “No, it was before your father’s time.

She became flustered upon needing to disclose the truth to her mother. “I turned beet-red instantly,” Garth explained about her panicked state. “It was as if I had a fever. I didn’t know how to react.

Since I found myself in a tough spot where I absolutely needed to be truthful with my mom, I confessed that I had previously engaged in sexual activity, and up until then, I had been hiding this truth from her.

The QVC celebrity found it far more distressing and intense to be discovered in a lie, compared to if she had simply communicated with the person honestly about the matter.

As a devoted admirer, I found myself trembling with apprehension when it came to discussing such a sensitive topic as intimacy with my dear mother. To shield her – and perhaps myself – from the discomfort, I resorted to bending the truth, keeping the reality hidden behind a veil of deception.

This led to an intense, tearful moment between me and my mother, causing them to step away for a bit. Alone with my mom, it was time for honesty.

Upon the doctor’s return, Garth’s anxiety subsided slightly when he was reassured, “Ah, it seems there was a mix-up. That wasn’t your urine; it belonged to someone else.

As a dedicated follower, I can share that at that moment, I found myself feeling quite angry, much like a storm brewing within. However, in reflection, it seemed as if this incident served as a valuable lesson not just for me, but also for my children and I, teaching us lessons we will carry with us moving forward.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to emphasize the significance of fostering open dialogues in our relationships, particularly with family members. For instance, discussing topics that may seem uncomfortable or personal is not something to be avoided. Instead, I encourage you to approach your mother with honesty and transparency, knowing that there’s no topic off-limits when it comes to building a strong and trusting bond.

‘There’s no shame around it,’ she said regarding the decision to have sex.

‘It’s a natural thing, and it deserves feeling comfortable.’
