Throughout the movie, writer-director Jake Helgren makes a big plot point that Ryan and Haley Downes don't know the sex of the baby Haley is carrying. But they have had sonograms taken of Haley's fetus, which would indicate the baby-to-be's gender. The Livescience Web site says that 85 percent of all parents who have a sonogram done is to use them to learn the sex of the baby, but a growing number of them don't. Dr. Stephen Carr of the Prenatal Diagnosis Center at Women and Infants Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island told Livescience.com, "More and more people are telling us they want to wait until the baby arrives to find out the sex. It's the last great surprise left."
Andrea Bowen and Ryan Carnes had both previously appeared on "Desperate Housewives".
