Jennie Garth took to social media this week to document her daughter Fiona's move to college

EXCLUSIVE: Jennie Garth's Emotional College Send-Off and a TMI Teen Pregnancy Scare

In a heartwarming yet cringe-worthy display, actress Jennie Garth documented her daughter Fiona's college move-in on social media this week. The 53-year-old mom-of-three, who co-parents with ex-husband Peter Facinelli, took to Instagram to share the step-by-step process of decorating Fiona's first-ever dorm room.

As they packed and unloaded a white SUV, sanitized the room, and got creative with decorations, Jennie couldn't help but gush about this milestone moment. "Come with me as I help my daughter move into her freshman dorm," she said in a voiceover, her tone filled with a mix of emotions. "I just can't stop hugging her – it's surreal to think this moment is finally here!"

But the real tea was spilled on Jennie's latest episode of her I Choose Me podcast, where Fiona joined in for a candid conversation. The 18-year-old opened up about a teen pregnancy scare that will leave you speechless.

During a Q&A session, one fan asked for tips on how to talk to her daughter about birth control. That's when Jennie dropped a bombshell: she had once been mistakenly told she was pregnant after visiting Planned Parenthood with her mom for birth control – yes, you read that right!

Jennie revealed that she and her boyfriend had been intimate at the time, but she'd lied to her mom about it. When they arrived at the clinic, she explained that she had "irregular periods" as the reason for wanting birth control. But things took a dramatic turn when a staff member emerged with what was believed to be the results of Jennie's urine test – and announced that she was pregnant!

"I was instantly just, like, red all over," Jennie recalled. "I was hot, sweaty... I didn't know what to do." She confessed that she'd had to be honest with her mom about being sexually active in the most awkward situation imaginable.

But here's the kicker: the doctor soon returned to the room and said, "Oh, oops. That wasn't your pee. That was someone else's pee!" Jennie admitted she was furious at the time but noted it as a valuable learning experience. She emphasized that it's crucial to open up conversations with our children about sex and birth control – there's no shame in talking about it.

"It's a natural thing, and it deserves feeling comfortable," Jennie told her listeners. "There's nothing you shouldn't talk to your mom about." The mother-daughter duo shared an intimate moment on the podcast as they discussed Fiona's teen pregnancy scare and how she learned to be open with her parents about sex.
