was dorothy expecting a baby in real life in one of the very first shows or did I dream that??

Actually Blanche thought she was pregnant in one of the early shows and all the ladies decided to work together to raise the baby, but it turned out she was beginning menopause. Maybe the is the episode you were thinking of???

Are you sure you don't have Dorothy confused with "Maude?" There was an episode where Bea's character found out she was pregnant and had an abortion.

Maude had an abortion in November 1972, two months before the Roe v. Wade decision made abortion legal nationwide, and the episodes which dealt with the situation are probably the series' most famous and certainly its most controversial. Maude, at age 47, was crushed when she found herself pregnant, and everyone agreed with her that having a baby at her age was very risky and not a wise thing to happen. Her daughter, Carol, brought to her attention that abortion was now legal in New York state. After some soul-searching (and discussions with Walter, who agreed that raising a baby at their ages was not very wise), Maude tearfully decided at the end of the two-parter that abortion was probably the best choice. Noticing the wide controversy around the episode, CBS decided to rerun the episodes in August 1973, and members of the country's clergy reacted strongly to the decision. At least 30 stations dropped the show.
