What do you think? Is this Mamie M Cassetta showing her baby bump in the 1920's? Before Ricky and Lucy could say "pregnant" on tv?

No matter how thin I have gotten, I have always had that much bump, and never been pregnant. Plus, the pose - she is leaning back from the waist. So I don't think she was preggers, just not as concerned with having an unnaturally flat tummy as we all have been the past 30 years.

Lucy and Desi couldn't sleep in the same bed, they had to sleep in twin beds!

Makes one wonder how Lucy got in the family way, when they slept in different beds...

My mom and dad had twin beds. She was a light sleeper and apparently he tossed and turned. As far as getting pregnant, she told me that they "met in the middle".

I don't think pregnant, just flat chested.

Odd there's no record of a husband, as it was unusual for women to remain single in her time. Perhaps that's a wedding ring on her right hand. She could also just be very short-waisted and so there's no flat tummy. Regardless, she has an "in your face" attitude and couldn't give too hoots about corseting everything in :).

Women in the 1920s were going for a straight up and down look, so I doubt this girl would have wanted a photo taken of her pushing out her belly like that. I suspect she was indeed pregnant. The way she's holding her hand seems to indicate that, too. Although pregnancy was still a delicate subject and a lot of euphemisms were used, in most households in a time when birth control was not widely used, having a baby, especially a woman's first one, was usually treated as a blessing and joy.
As far as how young she looked, if the picture was taken in, say, 1927 or 1928, she'd have been 15 or 16. My mother got married in the 1920s, just after she turned 16, and got pregnant right away (sadly, she had 5 miscarriages before I was born 2 months before she turned 40). Girls getting married in their early to mid-teens was not at all uncommon back then. In fact, in most states now, 16 is the age of consent, and some states, like Texas and Rhode Island, allow a girl of 14 to marry with parental consent.
