Jennie Garth Mistakenly Told Pregnant as Teen During Clinic Visit

Jennie Garth, star of Beverly Hills, 90210, shared on her podcast 'I Choose Me' a memorable experience from her teenage years when she was mistakenly told she was pregnant during a clinic visit with her mother. The visit was originally to explore birth control options, as Garth had irregular periods and wanted to be safe in her relationship, though she had not disclosed to her mother that she was sexually active. After taking a urine test, the clinician incorrectly informed them that Garth was pregnant, which forced her to admit to her mother that she had been having sex and hiding it. The doctor later returned to correct the mistake, revealing the pregnancy test was from another patient, which caused an emotional breakdown for Garth and her mother. Garth described the incident as traumatic and dramatic but also a teachable and pivotal moment in her relationship with her mother. She recounted the story in response to a listener question about how to discuss birth control with daughters, highlighting the importance of honesty and communication.
