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.

She is pregnant in real life.

Jane Leeves as Daphne on Frasier.

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?

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.

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

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.

At first it was rumored that it was George Clooney's(Booker) baby. But yes, it was Matt Roth's. (Fisher) As far as I know!

Phylecia Rashad was pregnant on the Cosby Show.

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

Five Ways TV Shows Work Around Pregnant Stars (http://www.manic-expression.com/five-ways-tv-shows-work-around-pregnant-stars/)

Sally Field was pregnant on the third season of The Flying Nun.
I wonder is this the reason season three hasn't been released on DVD (A pregnant nun? That's preposterous! omg:).

Julia Duffy in seasons 4 and 8 of Newhart. The latter was incorporated into the show for a short time.

Wilma Flintstone - Pregnant on the show, not sure if she was pregnant in real life though?:) :D

You're too cute Bonnie! :lol:

Elizabeth Montgomery was pregnant while on "BEWITCHED" and it was written into the storyline as Samantha being pregnant with Tabitha (it was Lizes 2nd pregnancy though)

From the 60's
Betty Jo of Petticoat Junction - TV only

From the 70's
Mary Ellen of the Waltons - TV only
What is funny here is apparently the character was pregnant for 2 years. It was 1938 when the character announced her pregnancy and 1940 when she had John Curtis. I am currently watching the show so I recently noticed this.

Georgette from the MTM for 1 episode only - TV only

From the 80's
the Markie Post character on Night Court and in real life

The mom on "Just The Ten of Us" seemed to be pregnant all the time. I don't know if she was ever pregnant in real life.

Gillian Anderson's pregnancy during the filming of "The X-Files" helped launch the legendary conspiracy arc, due to the fact they had to explain her absence for a couple of episodes. When she returned, she was visibly different physically, but they did their best to hide it (didn't really work, though).

Scully later got pregnant on the show.

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.
All the men were pregnant.

All the men were pregnant.

I'm assuming this was a dream sequence?? :confused:

It was a dream.

I am sure many shows I have seen over the years had pregnant actresses and I have never noticed. Unless the tv character was expecting like Lucy Ricardo and Samantha Stephens, I would never know.

Home Improvement- Heidi was pregnant in the beginning of Season 6 back in Fall 1996.
