Labor Pains is a 2009 American romantic comedy film directed by Lara Shapiro and written by Stacy Kramer.

It stars Lindsay Lohan, Luke Kirby, Bridgit Mendler, Chris Parnell, Cheryl Hines, and Kevin Covais.

The film was released theatrically on June 19, 2009, only in Europe, Latin America, and United Arab Emirates.

It drew 2.1 million viewers, a better-than-average prime-time audience for ABC Family; according to the network, it was the week's top cable film among coveted female demographic groups.

With help from her friend Lisa and a baby bump stolen from a mannequin, Thea fakes her pregnancy while figuring out her next move.

Stopping by the office to get Thea to sign a school permission slip, her younger sister Emma is shocked to see her with a baby bump.

Lindsay Lohan was cast in the lead of Thea Clayhill in March 2008 after turning down the roles in All's Faire in Love and Manson Girls.

Rick Schwartz, producer of the film, says, "I didn't know Lindsay before this, but we looked each other in the eye three months ago, and she has done everything I could have asked."

Labor Pains, titled Not A Bit of Pregnancy, was released on June 19, 2009, in Romania, grossing a total of $39,574.
