Liz Johnston did an amazing job of keeping her pregnancy a secret from her family, but viewers are starting to discover signs that she was pregnant throughout the latest 7 Little Johnstons episodes.
While she was pregnant, Liz managed to keep it from her parents up until a month before she gave birth to her child via C-Section.
Now that fans of the show are watching the episodes leading up to the birth, they’ve been picking out key clues that she was pregnant while the show was filming.

Fans Spotted Clues About Liz Johnston’s Pregnancy
One Reddit thread brought fans together to go over the clues they spotted.
The first big clue the fans said tipped them off was the fact that Liz was wearing sweatshirts.
While a sweatshirt doesn’t automatically mean someone is pregnant, it’s a little bit odd to be wearing one in Georgia during the summer.
Georgia summers can be extremely hot and humid.
No one typically wears a sweatshirt by choice if they’re going to be outside at all.
Liz was seen in several episodes wearing a sweatshirt while outside and inside despite it clearly being hot out.
Others said it was obvious that Liz had gained weight.
In particular, her face seemed a bit bigger, which can sometimes suggest that the person is pregnant.
Gaining weight is a natural part of pregnancy since the baby is growing, and the mother needs to eat enough food to sustain both bodies.
While Liz has always been slightly bigger than her siblings, viewers were automatically able to see that she had gained far more than usual.
They connected the dots from there and suggested she was wearing sweatshirts to hide the baby bump.
This theory was easy to explain away, however, since Liz sometimes wore sweatshirts in the past, even while in a sauna.
Some fans believe that Liz wears sweatshirts to hide her weight.
Fans started to look for other clues that suggested that Liz might be pregnant.
Did Liz Johnston’s Sister, Anna, Know About Her Pregnancy?
Someone recalled an episode when Liz’s sister, Anna, got them both coffee.
During the scene, Anna got a large cup of coffee for herself and a small one for Liz.
She’s about to explain why she got Liz a small coffee, but Liz quickly looks at her to warn her off.
They moved the conversation on quickly from there.
Fans have pointed out this scene and suggested that Liz was pregnant during it because mothers aren’t supposed to have a lot of caffeine.
The fact that Liz also seemed to warn Anna from explaining why she had a small coffee also suggested that she was keeping the information of her pregnancy from her parents.

That said, some viewers believe that this scene also means that Liz may have told Anna, at least, about her pregnancy.
Liz Johnston Hid Pregnancy From Family But Not Fans
Another big clue that viewers pointed out was Liz’s conversation with her mom about living with her brother, Jonah.
What should have been an easy conversation seemed to terrify Liz.
Viewers called the scene awkward, and that it was obvious Liz was really scared about having that conversation with her mom.
Whether that fear was because Liz knew she was pregnant and didn’t want her brother to find out or because of another reason, no one is exactly sure.
There were other obvious clues, too, like Liz not having a mimosa with the others.
Although Liz called her drink a mimosa, it was obviously much more orange than what the others were drinking.
Fans believe that it was most likely just orange juice and not alcohol.
The fact that Liz wasn’t having a mimosa, even though she had drunk in the past, was a big hint.
Fans also noticed that Liz was often sitting with a pillow in front of her stomach.
While people sit with pillows in front of them occasionally, they hadn’t noticed Liz sitting that way too much in earlier episodes.
They believe it suggested she was pregnant since she was using the pillow to hide her baby bump.
Finally, there was a moment in one of the episodes when the producers were asking the kids if they were going to have children.

Liz seemed tense when they asked her, and she seemed to move the conversation on quickly.
Liz clearly used a lot of tricks to keep her pregnancy a secret.
However, on November 3, 2023, the secret was out.
Liz gave birth to a daughter named Leighton Drew.
