Megan found out she was pregnant after signing on to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...
Megan Fox discovered she was pregnant right after signing on to star in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Now the mother of almost-two-year-old Noah and five-month-old Bodhi, Megan recently participated in a roundtable discussion with mom.me in which she talked about how hard it was to film the movie while pregnant.
"During your first trimester all you want to do is just watch Bravo and lay in bed and you don't want to get up and do stuff," Megan said. "I was waking up and I working 18-19 hour days to get this done. That's the one thing about filmmaking — you can't call in sick…because when you shut down production for a day, that's a $1 million-$3 million loss. And so you have to just make it work."

Megan said that she was also reluctant to bring up her pregnancy while on set because she didn't want to be discriminated against.
"In Hollywood, you don't want to show weakness as a woman because it is such a misogynist industry," she said. " You have to act like you're a superhero in order to be taken seriously or put on an equal playing field as the men. As soon as you like have a woman's body and have women's issues, it's like, 'Oh, you're a hazard for us," basically. So you just have to pretend that you're a lot stronger than you are a lot of the time."
Megan has expressed her desire to work on only one film a year so that she can spend more time with her children and husband Brian Austin Green. While she plans to continue acting for the time being, it sounds like her movie-making days may be limited.
"I've never been really career-oriented," she told the site. "It's always something that I do, as a lot of other people do, to pay bills, and that's how you make your money. And it's not like ... I don't feel like my ego is wrapped up into it."
Following the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which comes out next month, Megan does not have any films in the works, which appears to be just fine by her.
"I don't feel like it's necessarily where my heart is at all," she said.
