Though Lively thankfully wasn't pregnant during principal photography where she performed many of her own stunts, when it came to filming reshoots three months later, the actress was just entering her second trimester.

With The Shallows hitting screens barely two months after the reshoots took place, it's fair to assume that they were simple pickups rather than more elaborate do-overs.

Even so, Lively was spotted filming the new scenes with a sizable baby bump in tow, which she cannily tried to hide from the snooping press.
