Finding out you\u2019re pregnant while high on psilocybin mushrooms sounds like a nightmare \u2014 but (spoiler alert!) Ilana Glazer<\/strong><\/a> puts a hilarious spin on the chaotic scenario in her new film, Babes<\/em>.<\/p>\n In the comedy, Glazer\u2019s Eden is enjoying life as a single woman in New York City alongside her married childhood best friend Dawn (Michelle Buteau<\/strong>) when she learns she is expecting a child \u2014 during a really inconvenient time \u2014 following a one-night stand.<\/p>\n In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly<\/em>, Glazer admitted it\u2019s not easy to portray someone who is on drugs, despite what those who are watching may think. \u201cI find pretending to be high and pretending to trip is really hard actually, and we were going for a classic LOL version of it,\u201d the actress, 37, shared, noting the scene conveys \u201cpretty much the worst trip I could imagine.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve had bad trips, [but] learning [you are pregnant] on mushrooms, that\u2019s bad,\u201d Glazer continued. \u201cIt was helpful that we were doing a broad \u2018just go for it, just be nuts\u2019 [vibe] because it felt nuts to go there.\u201d<\/p>\n Glazer tells Us<\/em> she and cowriter Josh Rabinowitz<\/strong> penned the script after their manager Susie Fox<\/strong>, who is also a producer, had a \u201cvision\u201d of Glazer and her best friend having children. (At the time, the Broad City<\/em> alum was pregnant with her now 2-year-old daughter<\/a>, who she shares with husband David Rooklin<\/strong>, and Rabinowitz\u2019s wife was expecting as well.)<\/p>\n \u201cThis idea came to her of me getting knocked up and we couldn\u2019t believe that the story hadn\u2019t been told before,\u201d Glazer explained. \u201cBetween the three of us, we had so many ideas and different angles on this experience, and it was really cracking us up.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe hard comedy\u201d that goes along with being pregnant also served as inspiration for Glazer. \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe how slow you are and swollen and sick and the boobs,\u201d she shared. \u201cIt was just so funny to me and Josh as sort of that feeling of helplessness with your partner just growing a human inside of you.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to hilarious moments, Babes<\/em> also highlights how friendships can change when one person is entering the next chapter in their life. \u201cWe\u2019ve all kind of been on the Eden side of it: Your friend is having kids and your friendship is tested and you don\u2019t get to see them as much,\u201d she said. \u201cBut then when you become the parent and you need your friends more, that really was the thread for us.\u201d<\/p>\n Glazer learned a few things about motherhood, too \u2013 with one scene involving her character undergoing an amniocentesis test showing the actress\u2019 genuine reaction. \u201cI hadn\u2019t had an amnio,\u201d she shared, \u201cand when they brought it out [for the film], I was like, \u2018This is the needle?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
