Let me tell you something fascinating about Jennifer Garner. The talented actress didn’t need a doctor to confirm she was pregnant the first time around. She already knew it! During a heartfelt interview, Jennifer reminisced about the moment her doctor misread her very first pregnancy test. With her maternal instincts screaming louder than any medical result, she stood firm in her belief that she was indeed expecting her first child.
Here's the deal: Jennifer decided to visit a specialist because the lines on her at-home pregnancy test were so faint that she couldn’t be entirely sure if she was expecting or not. After undergoing a more accurate test, her doctor confidently declared, “You’re not pregnant.” But Jennifer wasn’t buying it. “I was like, ‘Yeah, I am. I’m telling you I am,’” she shared, adding that she just knew deep down in her gut.

“So Violet’s 12 now, and I don’t use that doctor anymore, but I still have her, so I won!” Jennifer joked during her appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. While her first pregnancy with Violet was relatively smooth sailing, her subsequent pregnancies with Seraphina and Samuel were anything but easy. “Each time, I felt more nauseous,” she admitted. “With each child, it got progressively worse.”
When it came to her middle child, Seraphina, Jennifer confessed that her nausea only worsened as the day went on. “It wasn’t just morning sickness; it got worse throughout the entire day,” she said. “For some reason, Yo-Yo Ma’s music really helped me get through it. I’d lie in bed, hoping to fall asleep, doing some pretty crazy things just to cope.”
By the time she was expecting her son Samuel, Jennifer decided to throw the rulebook out the window. “Forget it, it was all about Happy Meals,” she said, laughing. “It’s gross, but that’s what happens when you’re pregnant. You do what you need to survive.” Despite the ups and downs, Jennifer has nothing but love for being a mom. During her appearance on Ellen, she reassured other mothers that it’s perfectly okay not to have everything figured out.
