Amy Schumer Talks About Her Tough Pregnancy

-I was at the gynecologist a couple of months ago. And I asked, "Is it safe to have sex while I'm pregnant?" And she said, "Yes, it's safe to have sex throughout your

pregnancy

." And I said, "We'll get a second opinion." -Welcome back to "Late Night". We're here with Amy Schumer. That was a clip of your wonderful... -Epic. -...wonderful and epic new special, "Growing Up". -Thank you. -And, obviously, this has a lot to do with your

pregnancy

, about which you have been very honest, and you are in the special as well. It is not an easy pregnancy for you physically. -Yeah.

It's been pretty hard. I didn't know pregnancies could be so annoying. Know? -Yeah, well... -I mean, I didn't really know. -You know they are difficult, but you have had some additional things that have made it really difficult. -I have... I still have hyperemesis. I threw up a bunch of times on the way here. It's worth it. I love you guys so much. -Thank you. -No, but I'm lucky. I can, you know, get... I get good health care. -Brilliant. -And I can get an IV and, you know, survive. -I'm very happy. And do you know... do you already know what you're going to take? -We do it, but we don't care.

You know, however the baby identifies, as long as she doesn't identify as a DJ. -Oh, yes, that's fair. -Because that's disgusting. -No parent wants that. -That's just disgusting. Know? -I know you talked a lot with my wife. -Yeah. -That she has had two children. And obviously a lot of... I would say probably a lot of moms give you advice, both solicited and unsolicited. Have you found that to be the case? -I think everyone is very sensitive when giving advice. They are worried that you have received too much advice. -Yeah. -Then no one gives you advice. Know?

I have to say, "No, I have no idea what I'm doing and I'd like some advice. But yeah, your wife actually told me that prenatal yoga really helps with childbirth, so I immediately signed up for a C-section. Yes. -I don't... Because I'm not... I don't hate that. -Yeah, why... It would be a bad scene. -I hate it. -It's probably better than the people in the class. prenatal yoga doesn't have your energy. -That's true.. Yes. -Your sister- Really, this is incredible- She made you a cake -My sister-in-law -Oh, your sister-in-law -I like to remind her that it's just by law. -This is a very honest cake about what you're about to expect. -Yes -And I, you know...

Obviously, the idea of ​​giving a cake to someone who is about to expect a baby is not that far-fetched. I don't think I've seen this before. -No. That... You know? -No, I didn't feel encouraged. -Yes. -It's just... It seems like a nightmare. He came around 11 at night with that cake. Of nothing. And I said, "This is..." That's Molly. She is a bad person. -Yes, she is... Yes. -Bad. -No, I met Molly, yes. -Yes, you already know Molly. She is the worst. -Yeah, she's not great. -Yes, she is bad. -But it is a beautiful cake. -It is spectacular. -Yes, she is... -And I ate it.

I ate it. I ate the ass. Can I say the ass? -Yes, you can say it. -It's ok right? -As long as it's a cupcake, you can say that. If you said we were eating... -It's the bottom of a cake. If you were eating a human ass, we'd have to beep, but if you say, "I ate the cake's ass." But. -That's the law. -That's the law. -That's the law. You... I'm so impressed. I mean, obviously, you're pregnant in the special. And then you... Obviously, you not only wrote it or performed it, you also produced it and directed it. -Yeah.

True narcissist. -Yeah. -Yeah. -But, also, that means a real workload. Was there a moment when you regretted doing that or were you happy throughout the whole process of having that control of this project? -No, I was pretty terrified thinking... Because you have no control over your body, you know? -Good. -It's like... Like, "I hope I don't throw up all day and have to be in the hospital." And I did... you know, I recorded two shows in Chicago. I vomited a lot in the meantime. But no, it was just like... My body resisted. -Did you feel, as a performer...

Did you feel that feeling of adrenaline when you went on stage and thought: "Okay. This will help me pass the hour"? -Completely. Yes Yes. -The same thing that is helping me get through this precise moment. Know? -Yeah. -I'm here! Yes. But everyone is giving me advice, you know, but too late. -Oh interesting. -Yeah, it's like... Okay, I'm about to have this baby, and yesterday, my mom told me that smoking increases the chance of having low birth weight. So I had to start smoking. -It may already be too late. -I know. And it's probably too late and I don't even like smoking.

It's very dangerous. -Yes, because I probably... I probably won't reduce it if it already reaches a certain weight. -Exactly. But here I am, huffing and puffing, just in case. -Well, better safe than sorry. -Exactly. -You don't want to weigh 10 pounds that day. -Exactly. -Yeah. -No. Can't. -And obviously, you would stop doing it once he was born. -But I'm getting hooked. -Yeah. -I'm getting hooked. -Oh, okay, I got you. That will make it more difficult. -That's really good. I want young people to see that.
