51. Sarah Drew really gave birth hours after filming her character’s birth scene
Sarah Drew was actually pregnant at the same time as her character April Kepner and gave birth just hours after filming.
She told Access Hollywood live that:
‘It was a big, long 10-hour work day of doing the labor and delivery scene on the show. And, I went home, it was 8 PM and at 6 AM, I woke up with a really intense contraction three-and-a-half weeks early, so didn’t think I was in labor.’
