Jodie Turner-Smithis revealing new details about her pregnancy and why she felt “scared” during the majority of the experience.
Turner-Smith, who was in her second trimester while shooting the film alongside costarMichael B. Jordan, said it was “super challenging” to train for the “extremely physical role” while “full on” in her pregnancy.
The star explained that she had to be very active as her character Lt. Commander Karen Greer, a Navy SEAL, which made it difficult for her to feel any movement from her unborn daughter.

“Because of how active I was doing an action film, I didn’t feel any movement until I was about 22 weeks [pregnant] so I spent a lot of time during my pregnancy really scared,” the actress said.
“I needed to look at her to know everything was okay,” she shared.
Turner-Smith shared similar sentiments about the challenges of the film in a recent interview withVariety.
“I don’t know if you know this, but when you are pregnant, it’s very hard to hold your breath,” Turner-Smith told the outlet about filming her underwater scenes. “So, I had unique challenges that my costars didn’t have.”
Speaking with PEOPLE last month, the star said that “being a pregnant persontaught me to advocate even harder for myself.”
“I learned so much about myself,” she share. “There were definitely times where I was like, ‘Well, I really think maybe I’m in over my head here.’ I just really got down to business and pushed through. I’m so excited to share that eventually with my daughter, like, ‘I was pregnant with you when I did that.’ "
