Did Sophie McShera (Ros McCain) have a baby in the past?
I'm trying to figure out if Sophie McShera (Ros McCain and Daisy on Downton Abbey) might have had a baby. This scene was filmed anywhere between May and September 2009 (no way to tell because the show was filmed out of order). Her lower belly looks a bit funny. The video is worth watching - it's only 43 seconds long and is HD:

Then there's another scene from a different episode. It aired later in the season but once again it could have been filmed earlier. I have a screenshot of it:

Her lower belly looks rather large and rounded.
I thought nothing of them until I saw the first episode of the 2008 British drama, Survivors. She was only on screen for less than five minutes, but in that time they only filmed her above the chest; they never showed her belly. I have not been able to find the filming dates for the first season of the show, but it aired in November of 2008, which means that filming probably ended in October 2008 at the latest and most likely began around May 2008.
Since there is no way of knowing when each of the episodes were filmed, I've deduced that the LONGEST possible time between the filming of Survivors and the filming of Waterloo Road is 16 months (May 2008 - September 2009). If she had been far enough along for them to avoid shooting her whole body (instead of just covering her with looser clothing) she probably would have been about 4-6 months pregnant, in which case she would have been 11-13 months postpartum...definitely long enough postpartum to no longer have a belly. On the other hand the SHORTEST possible time between filming would have been 7 months (October 2008 - May 2009). If she had been 4-6 months pregnant in October 2008 she would have been 2-4 months postpartum in May 2009. Contrary to popular belief some women can actually still look about five months pregnant months after they give birth.
Plus on her Twitter page she messes around with a baby doll (in a joking fashion), and her nickname (at least between her and Brendan Coyle [Mr. Bates from DA]) is "Baby David". Could those be references to her life?
Even in recent pictures of her you can tell that she has that sort of "pooch" thing on her lower belly that women tend to get after they've had kids. For example:

Do any of you folks know about her past and if she may have had a baby prior to Waterloo Road being filmed and put it up for adoption or something? Or does certain clothing just do funny things to her body?
