Charlotte might be having another baby, and Angelica doesn't like the idea of having another mouth to feed. - Description from Klasky Csupo
== Goofsedit | edit source ==
* In a close-up, when Angelica was sitting on Charlotte's lap, Charlotte had four lips. This may be due to an animation cel layout error.
* While Charlotte said to Angelica, "Honey, there's really nothing I can do about it," part of her cheek behind Angelica's pigtail is transparent for a few frames.
* While Angelica says "Please mommy", Charlotte's lips disappear for a frame.
Triviaedit | edit source
* Morals:
** Your parents will always love and care for you no matter what.
** Pregnancy tests can be wrong.
* This is considered one of the most disturbing episodes in the Rugrats series due to the nightmare that Angelica had about her supposed baby brother.
* This episode is similar to "Pickles vs. Pickles" because the main plot of both episodes is a nightmare experienced by a character.
* The opening credits "cut" on and off, rather than the usual "fade" on & off.
* Dr. Daniel Prescott's number for his TV talk show is 555-5555; this number was used before in "The Santa Experience", but as the number for Cogs Unlimited.
* The voice of Dr. Prescott in this episode, as well as a few voices in the next story (below), are done by Gregg Berger, who's the voice of the Gromble on Aaahh!!! Real Monsters.
* In the dream sequence, Angelica's younger brother strongly resembles old-time actor Edward G. Robinson in speech and appearance.
* There are a few theories as to why Charlotte wasn't actually pregnant:
** Assuming that Charlotte was never actually pregnant in the first place, there are few reasons. For example,
*** She may have had a phantom pregnancy, in which a woman exhibits pregnancy-like symptoms when she's not actually pregnant. A real phantom pregnancy tends to be more common in animals than in humans, and in humans, it tends to be more psychological than physical.
*** Charlotte could've simply misread and/or done the at-home test incorrectly, which resulted in a false positive. Charlotte told Drew that if the test results turned out blue, that would mean she's pregnant again--it's entirely possible that the test results actually said that blue means you're not pregnant, and Charlotte simply got mixed up when reading the results.
*** Whether or not she had done the at-home pregnancy test correctly, Charlotte could've also realized that those tests aren't always totally accurate, since she did make an appointment with her doctor to have an official test done to see if she was pregnant.
*** Charlotte could've gotten her period since women don't get their periods while they're pregnant (and a missed period is a common sign that a woman might be pregnant).
** If Charlotte was actually pregnant in the first place but later turned out not to be, she could've had a miscarriage, possibly even a chemical pregnancy. For those who don't know what a chemical pregnancy is, it's a very early miscarriage that happens before anything can be seen on an ultrasound--a sperm had fertilized the egg, but the egg itself ultimately fails to survive (it usually occurs at around the fifth week of the pregnancy).
* This is one of the many times where Angelica's thankful for her status as an only child. The only episodes where she actually expresses a desire to have a sibling are "The Stork" and "Sister Act"---the latter episode being the only time where Angelica's genuinely saddened by the fact that she's an only child. Ironically, Angelica ends up being the only Rugrat in the series who remains an only child, because:
** Tommy gains a younger brother in Dil.
** Chuckie gets a new stepsister in Kimi---and a new stepmother in the form of Kimi's mom, Kira. Kimi later gets a half-sister, Kiki Watanabe.
** Phil and Lil are fraternal twins.
** Susie has two older brothers and an older sister: Edwin, Buster, and Alyssa.
* This is the second appearance of Angelica's first toy car, being based after a BMW during that era. For the first time, it required the use of a key to start it like a real car instead of just pressing on the gas pedal at any time to move as it did in its previous appearance in "Runaway Angelica", where it was more like a Power Wheels car. Like the previous episode, she used it as a means of escape.
* Chuckie is absent in this episode while Lil appears but she doesn’t have any lines.
