10 Most Annoying Mistakes You Never Noticed In Friends
2. How Long Does Pregnancy Last?
If you don't know that pregnancy lasts roughly nine months, you'd better crack open a textbook and steer clear of anyone looking to get frisky because you might not like the results. Unfortunately, the writers of Friends seemed to have that issue, as they messed up this basic biology not once but twice.
Firstly, in the pilot, it's implied that Carol coming out had only just happened. However, in "The One With All The Flashbacks" - oh no, not those pesky things again - Carol told Ross that she was gay a whole year before that. So, when did they conceive Ben if he was born at the end of the first season, and she came out a year before the first episode?
Plus, there's Rachel Green (or Greene, *sigh*). She took a pregnancy test at Monica/Chandler's wedding in May, but was barely showing by the time Thanksgiving rolled around seven months later. It took the rest of the season for her to finally gave birth, meaning she was pregnant for over a year. Emma must have been living her best life down there.
Someone clearly doesn't understand how this stuff works.
