First of all, let us all just admit how much we love Amy Schumer. A brilliant, witty, stand-up comedian, who is taking patriarchy and smashing it on the ground. Her impeccable acting skills in her debut Trainwreck stole our hearts. In a world where women stand-up comedians are pulled down constantly and how they are always told “women can’t make humor”, she is emancipating herself from the smothering shackles and standing up erect. Four years back she said in one of her stand-up comedies that how her friends are leading a normal adult life, and pregnancy just scares her, making something using her body seems so daunting. But now, the tables have turned and she is a mother. Only a person with this kind of sense of humor and sarcasm can make witticisms out of a difficult situation. And thus, we are gifted with the amazing documentary series, Expecting Amy. 

Expecting Amy is an American documentary series directed by Alexander Hammer that follows Amy Schumer through her pregnancy, and the creation of her stand-up special Amy Schumer: Growing, where she also serves as an executive producer. It premiered on July 9, 2020, on HBO Max. The documentary is raw, personal, vulnerable, and naked, such that everyone else goes through a roller-coaster ride with her, and the mothers literally have flashbacks of their times. She starts by announcing her pregnancy and how she traveled across the country for her performance during her trimesters. She also showed us how a coupledom changes through the entire period and how much one needs to hold on to it in order to keep the marriage going. It wasn’t definitely easy for her. She is bound to say at one point, ” I resent how much women have to suck it the f*** up and act like everything’s fine

Back in October 2019, it was announced Amy Schumer would serve as an executive producer and appear with her husband Chris Fischer in a documentary about her pregnancy, life, and career and Bridget Everett, Rachel Feinstein, Kevin Kane, and Kim Caramele would also be present.

There have been mixed reviews until now, but most of them have encouraged the show and showered positive reactions and appreciated her efforts been put behind the show. The show is a celebration of motherhood and the genesis of human life, and one should treasure it for their future pregnancy hysterics.
