Jennie Garth was once mistakenly told she was pregnant during her teenage years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The actress, 53, was sharing the mic on the latest episode of her podcast I Choose Me <\/a>with her youngest daughter Fiona, 18,\u00a0who will soon be going to college<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During a question and answer session, one fan wanted to know how to talk to her own daughter about birth control.<\/p>\n

That’s when the Beverly Hills 90210 actress shared her own ‘terrible\/funny\/awkward\/terrible story.’<\/p>\n

The Bad Influence star revealed she and her mom had gone together to a sexual health clinic, ‘to go on birth control because I had irregular periods.’<\/p>\n

But that wasn’t the whole truth. ‘I had a boyfriend, and I just wanted to be safe,’ she explained.\u00a0‘I didn’t want to have a baby without being ready for it. So we went in, and the appointment was to explore birth control options.’<\/p>\n

Jennie Garth, 53, has revealed she was mistakenly told she was pregnant as a teenager;\u00a0 Pictured in Santa Monica, California in May<\/p>\n

However, Garth’s ruse was quickly discovered when she got a shocking diagnosis.\u00a0‘Well, you’re pregnant,’ the clinician told them when she returned to the room with what they believed were the results of Garth’s urine test.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I was like, “What?” And then all of a sudden, like, the cat was out of the bag.’<\/p>\n

‘Was the boyfriend my dad?,’ Fiona asked. She is the youngest of three daughters the TV Guide Award winner shares with ex-husband Peter Facinelli, 51.\u00a0‘No, it was before your dad,’ Garth assured her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, she was mortified at having to tell her mother the truth.\u00a0‘I was instantly just, like, red all over. I was hot, like, sweaty. Like, I didn’t know what to do,’ Garth said of her panic and confusion.<\/p>\n

‘Because I had \u2014 in that moment \u2014 to be honest with my mom, in the most uncomfortable situation, about the fact that I had already had sex and that I had been lying to her about it.’<\/p>\n

The QVC star said she felt being caught in a lie ‘was a lot more traumatic and dramatic than if I had just gone to her and talked to her about it, I think.’<\/p>\n

‘I, too, was really scared to talk to my mom about [having sex] to the point where I actually lied and hid the truth from her.’<\/p>\n

Garth, who shares daughters Luca, 28, Lola, 22 and Fiona, 18 with ex-Peter Facinelli, said ‘there’s nothing you shouldn’t talk to your mom about.\u00a0\u00a0‘There’s no shame around it. It’s a natural thing, and it deserves feeling comfortable’<\/p>\n

‘So cut to me and my mom having this emotional, like, breakdown, and they left the room. It was just me and my mom and, like, truth time.’<\/p>\n

When the doctor returned to the room, Garth’s panic was eased when she was told, ‘”Oh, oops. That was not your pee. That was someone else’s pee.”‘<\/p>\n

Garth said she was ‘furious’ at the time, but implied it was a learning lesson for her and her children.<\/p>\n

‘It’s important to open up the channels of discussion \u2026 there’s nothing you shouldn’t talk to your mom about,’ she told Fiona and her listeners.<\/p>\n

‘There’s no shame around it,’ she said regarding the decision to have sex.<\/p>\n
