What is 'pregnancy roulette'? And how it went so wrong on 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives'
Briefly

The latest episode of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" takes a poignant turn as it features a TikTok trend called "pregnancy roulette." In this game, women randomly draw pregnancy tests, leading to an emotional moment for Demi Engemann, who has been struggling with infertility. She mistakenly picks a positive test and is overwhelmed with grief at her own situation. Cast members and viewers empathize with her pain, revealing how the game unintentionally exposed deep emotional wounds related to motherhood and longing.
"Every single one of us is a mom in that room, and we could all feel her pain because she wants this so badly," cast member Whitney Leavitt tells TODAY.com.
"I just thought it would be a fun little game... I honestly didn't really have any hunches that anyone was pregnant or anything like that," says Layla Taylor.
"At 25, desperately wanting to be a mom and it just not happening has been truly one of the most unimaginable things I've ever had to endure..."
"As someone who has battled infertility for four years as well, this gutted me. I wanted to hug her so hard."
