Amy Schumer Welcomes Fans Into Her Turbulent Pregnancy With New Documentary

It's no secret that Amy Schumer had a very difficult pregnancy last year. The comedian kept her fans updated on social media throughout her journey and was very open about her struggle with pregnancy and the effects it had on her personal and professional life.

A docuseries following Amy's journey will air on HBO Max on July 9th.

IDK about you guys, but for me, it felt like Amy Schumer was preggers for 7 years.

The 39-year-old continued working throughout the majority of her pregnancy and even filmed a Netflix comedy special! She is truly a super mom!

Now, Amy's journey of navigating a new marriage, a booming career and a first baby can be viewed for fans with an upcoming HBO documentary series.

The series, titled Expecting Amy will give fans an inside look into the wild ride that was Amy's pregnancy with her son, Gene.

The comedian posted an emotional trailer for her HBO special on Instagram earlier this week.

"Expecting Amy. This is a trailer for our @hbomax documentary about giving birth to a baby and a special and a marriage and a diagnosis and everything in between. Directed by @go.for.hammer We hope you enjoy! @maxpop #expectingamy," Amy captioned the trailer.

“*Expecting Amy* takes viewers behind-the-scenes as Schumer battles through an extraordinarily difficult pregnancy while documenting the formation of a comedy special," reads the show's synopsis.

"Schumer continues touring to prepare for the taping in Chicago that she isn’t sure she will be able to execute,” the rundown continues.

"From hospitalizations to going out in front of a crowd of thousands, to quiet moments at home with her family, Schumer shares it all — beginning the day she found out she was pregnant, through the birth of her child. It’s like Jerry Seinfeld’s movie *Comedian*, if he had been pregnant."
