Tyler Perry’s Sistas | When Did Fatima Find Out That She Was Pregnant?
It sounds like the timeline of Fatima’s pregnancy reveal in Sistas is a bit messy, especially with the time jumps and inconsistent pacing between seasons 7 and 8. Based on what you’ve outlined, it seems likely that Fatima and Zach already knew about the pregnancy for a while before it was ever brought up in the show.
If we go by Fatima’s own words—saying they planned to wait until she was further along—it suggests she had already known for weeks. That would mean that she likely knew during Karen’s baby shower, making her presence there even more awkward. It also raises questions about why she was so willing to fight Gary back then but is now using her pregnancy as a reason not to fight alongside Zach against Hayden and Tamara.
The inconsistency seems to be more about storytelling choices rather than character logic. Season 7’s time jumps could mean that Fatima found out during the break or early in the season but just never mentioned it on-screen. Meanwhile, season 8 is moving at a much slower pace, which makes the revelation feel fresh even if it technically happened earlier.
What’s your take? Do you think the writers are being inconsistent, or do you think Fatima simply had a change in mindset after realizing the risks of her pregnancy?
