They asked her if she'd had any other radiation or was pregnant before doing the X-ray.

Maybe she said "I MIGHT be pregnant" so they checked her out before doing the X-Ray. Hence she found out!

She definitely did not say she may be pregnant. I rewatched the episode on Hulu.

And even if she did think she had a chance of being pregnant, I would think she'd go to the doctor right away.

I don't know if you guys caught it but the guy that played Dwight's friend Rolf at the picnic (The one bashing Angela) was James Urbaniak. He voices Dr. Venture in The Venture Bros.

Overall the episode wasn't bad. It just didn't feel like a season finale episode.

What a pile of shit. I get tired of bastards popping up. First Superman, then Indiana Jones and now Jim Halpert. What the hell are these writers thinking? I can't come up with a decent storyline so lets just throw a bastard in there and see what happens.

I know she didn't say it on the episode, I was assuming it would have been said after they wheeled her away asking the questions.

And what's this about going to the doctor's. How's this for a situation:
Doctor: "Are you pregnant?"
Pam: "I don't think so, but I don't know for sure" (or) "We are trying but not yet"
Doctor: "Might as well run a quick test to be sure"

Based on my limited experience (or rather, my wife's limited experience) if you go to the hospital, they run a pregnancy test. Maybe only if you're child bearing age, but they always do it regardless of the complaint you came in with.

because they test you if there's any chance you're pregnant before being bombarded with radiation (harmless to you, potentially very bad for developing embryo/fetus)...

I'm surprised there is so much backlash to this, there are so many people (albeit not the majority, just far more than I would have expected) that seem to even be offended by this. A lot of the sentiment is that Jim and Pam were like this perfect "American couple" or something and now they screwed it up by doing something as "ridiculous" as have a child together before getting married.

bastard as defined by dictionary.com

"1. a person born of unmarried parents; an illegitimate child."

True, Jim and Pam are not married, but I fail to see how the child is illegitimate. It is incredibly crystal cool obvious that these two are deeply in love and basically soul mates. That makes this child 100% more legitimate than all the children born to parents in unloving or failed marriages (and considering the divorce rate, I wouldn't be surprised if this a majority of all children...)

Hell, they were even going to elope the episode prior but decided against it because they decided they wanted the ceremony/party/romantic aspect after all. Just because it isn't yet official in the eyes of the state or a God doesn't mean it isn't official in their own eyes (the only ones that actually matter when all said and done)
