Ilana Glazeris getting candid about being pregnant in her 30s.
Glazer, who also co-wrote the movie, explains thatFalse Positivehelped her work through “anxieties about growing up and moving on and letting go.” Additionally, she tellsVanity Fairshe “felt psychologically tortured while shooting this film.”
“It was really, really intense. I felt scared, paranoid, crazy, empty, and weak. My body felt so tense and scared and in pain,” recalls Glazer of making the film, which also stars Justin Theroux, Pierce Brosnan and Sophia Bush.

“I’m feeling really good, but I feel a little guilty about it, I guess,” Glazer said at the time, comparing her pregnancy to that of otherexpectant motherswho get sick while carrying a child. “I was sick for a bunch of months, and then after that, I was like, ‘This is the coolest thing ever.’ "
“Now that I’m not puking, I’m like, ‘This is really cool.’ At the time [I was sick] I was like, ‘I’m torn,’ " theBroad Citycomedian added.
When she revealed her pregnancy toEntertainment Weeklyearlier this year, Glazer addressed the “eerie” timing of becoming pregnant IRL leading up to the release of her pregnancy thriller.
“This was not supposed to happen this way, but it’s just so eerie and cosmically funny that it has,” she said. “I’m lucky; I’m in control, unlike our protagonist. I don’t feel like I’m having the rug pulled out from under me in any way.”
“I’m not afraid to ask a billion questions,” she added of taking advice from friends and family who are already parents. “There are certain trends in society of how pregnancy should look, the ‘shoulda coulda wouldas’ that are put on women all the time but are so amplified in pregnancy. I’m specifically seeking out the most spiritually healthy and welcoming experience.”
False Positiveis available to stream Friday on Hulu.
