So much so, in fact, that when Andrews informed them that she was pregnant, they decided to hold off filming.
This was after she’d been spotting in a stage show

And this was certainly the case with Mary Poppins. If you cast your mind back to the opening sequence of the film – you know, the one where nannies are queuing up for the job.
