Pregnant Women on TV

[Janice]

Can anyone name any pregnant women on TV, whether or not it was written into the show?
Off the top of my head, there's Diane and Carla from Cheers, although Shelley Long's pregnancy was hidden.
It looks like Millie on The Dick Van Dyke Show was preggers.
Of course, there's Lucy on I Love Lucy.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, as Elaine, was pregant twice on Seinfeld but not written in.
Meredith Baxter's pregnancy was written into Family Ties.

Samantha Stevens on Bewitched . . .

Rebecca Donaldson on Full House was pregnant with twin boys.

Cliff Huxtable was pregnant on The Cosby Show, but that's a whole different story, LOL.

Lisa Kudrow on FRIENDS was Pregnant on the show AND in real life
and I think the mom on the cosby show (i forget her real name) was pregnant In real life a few times as well

Tisha Cambell-Martin's pregnancy during the 2nd season of "My Wife and Kids" wasn't written in nor was Patricia Heaton on "Everybody Loves Raymond" or Sarah Jessica Parker's pregnancy on "Sex and The City" although fellow S&TC Girl Cynthia Nixons's pregnancy was written in.

I thought I heard that they were going to write Jane Kaczmerick's pregnancy into "Malcolm In The Middle" but since she's already given birth I guess not.

Barbara Eden was pregnant on the first season of I Dream of Jeannie.

They hid Christa Miller's pregnency on "The Drew Carey Show" by having her seated in many scenes, or wearing coats and carrying boxes. It was really funny.

On "Star Trek Voyager," Roxanne Dawson's pregnancy was hidden by having her wear a lab coat/smock over her uniform.

I think they also hid Roseanne's pregnancy by having her seated a lot too.

Katie Sagal and Peg Bundy were both pregnant on Married... With Children.

But when Katie miscarried in real life, the show simply stopped talking about a pregnancy.

Anne Schedeen, ALF, was pregnant and it was written in the show.

Susan St. James, Kate and Allie, was pregnant and they kept it hidden.

Elizabeth Montgomery's pregnancies, both of them, was written into the storyline of Bewitched.

Shauna Reed was pregnant in real life while doing Major Dad and kept it hidden.

Is Christa Miller pregnant in real life or just on "Scrubs"? Is so then they've written it into the show.

Patricia Heaton on Everybody Loves Raymond was pregnant with 2 of her kids between the 1st and 3rd seasons of the show,and they never wrote the pregnancies in the show!!!

Lucille Ball,I believe,was pregnant with Lucie Arnaz in the 1st season of I Love Lucy,and never wrote it in the script!!!

Lisa Bonet from the Cosby Show was another who got pregnant while she was on there and Bill Cosby liked to had a fit figuring out what to do,so they dropped her during the 1988-1989 season,and she was back in the 1989-1990 season!!!!

Cindy Williams was pregnant during her final season on "LaVerne and Shirley". Since her character wasn't married, there are a number of episodes where her condition is very obvious, but is ignored in the story line. They eventually married her off, and acknowledged Shirley Feeney's pregnancy immediately afterwards.

Actress Hunter Tylo sued Aaron Spelling, claiming she was fired from "Melrose Place" because she became pregnant.
I believe it was settled out of court.

Not to sound sexist or anything, but how are you supposed to play a slinky vixen on "Melrose Place" when they can only film you from the neck up?

[Will and Grace Fanatic]

Roseanne on Roseanne was pregnant on the show and in actual life.

Jackie on Roseanne was pregnant but not sure if she was in real life.

[Penny Lane]

Jackie on Roseanne(Yes she really was pregnant):)

[Will and Grace Fanatic]

I thought she was but I didn't want to say if I was wrong. Was it by the guy who played Fisher. I heard they had a child together in actual life.

Yeah, they did a lot of episodes that season in which Peg was off visiting her folks in Wanker County...
