Shabnam's bump
I feel a bit bad for saying this about the character but I have to mention this as it's driving me nuts. It's the completely OTT way that Shabnam moves as though she were house-size rather than tiny with a slight bump and the way she constantly holds/rubs her bump, it's all so awkward and uneccessary.

Why do they always have pregnant women constantly holding their bumps?! It's the same in most soaps.

Totally agree .. it's only when the baby's just about due, when the poor mum has nowhere to rest her hands, that it becomes more usual to see them do this!
I suppose we should feel some sympathy for Shabnam, as things aren't going to be going too well over the next few days. |

DTC likes to ram things home, so we see her touching her bump every time the baby moves...yep, I get it, it's still alive.

Maybe the actress was just pushing her own stomach out.
You'll notice that at no time was there a clear uninterrupted view of her entire body from neck to lower abdomen .. it's all done with careful camera angles and fastidious editing. That way we're made to believe that what we see is how it actually is. ... unless of course all actresses who shoot pregnancy ultrasound scenes are actually pregnant - there's an awful lot of it about! |

They use a prosthetic 'pregnant' abdomen and carefully position the actress below the specially adapted 'bed' with just her head and shoulders protruding. She'll be sitting in a reclining position below the bed line so that it doesn't look as if she's merely kneeling up below the bed with her head and shoulders poking through.

Just curious. I would have thought they would just put a lifelike prosthetic directly onto the actress under her clothes.

She always looks like she's fighting with it.

Her bump seems to have just appeared out of nowhere, a few weeks ago she had no idea she was pregnant!

I think she's been holding her bump to try and coax the baby to move...although, it came across in this episode that the baby did move as she seemed surprised but then as the episode went on, she seemed to be a lot more anxious and the belly rubbing became a bit more apparent.
