Can you think of any actresses on shows that were pregnant while doing the show or shows?

Here are some actresses and shows where the pregnancy was hidden:

Barbara Eden-I Dream of Jeannie
Phylicia Rashad-The Cosby Show

Here are some actresses and shows where the pregnancy was written in:

Elizabeth Montgomery-Bewitched
Lucille Ball-I Love Lucy
Janet Hubert-Whitten-The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Meredith Baxter Birney-Family Ties

If anyone can think of anymore to add feel free, I am sure I am forgetting a lot.

Elizabeth Montgomery's first pregnancy in 1964 was covered as the show was just beginning with Samantha and Darrin's wedding, and it was deemed improper to write the pregnancy in. However, a year later when EM was pregnant with her second son, the pregnancy was written into the show as Tabitha. Same story in 1969 when EM gave birth to her daughter, as Sam gave birth to Adam.

Anne Schedeen (ALF) was pregnant with her daughter in 1989, and the pregnancy was written in as baby Eric. Julia Louis-Dreyfus of Seinfeld was pregnant twice, and both times it was covered up, and Jane Leeves' (Frasier) pregnancy was hidden too. Thank goodness in Elaine's case, can you even imagine her as a mother!?

Shelly Long & Rea Perlman were both pregnent during the run of CHEERS once-not sure what season, though. With Shelley they covered it up; but with Rea they just wrote it into the show by having Carla become pregnant.

Susan Saint James was pregnant one season on KATE & ALLIE but they covered it up by having her wear a bunny costume in one episode (it was a halloween show) and in another one, she spent the entire episode in bed with a broken leg.

Roseanne Briggs-Dawson was pregnent in the 4th season of STAR TREK: VOYAGER; but they covered it up.

Kathryn Erbe (L&O: CI) was pregnant in 2003, it was written in the show that Eames was a surrogate mother for her sister. Mariska Hargitay (SVU) was also pregnant but it was covered up.

Susan Richardson (Eight is Enough) was pregnant with her daughter in 1980, and her character Susan Bradford would also give birth to a daughter that year. Tyne Daly was pregnant during Cagney & Lacey, and it was written into the show. Patti LuPone was pregnant during Life Goes On's run, and I believe it was written into the storyline, but I don't remember.

Gates McFadden was pregnant one season on STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION; but they covered it up.
Lisa Kudrow was pregnant during the run of FRIENDS once; and they wrote it into the show. That was the season that Phebe was a surrogate mother.

CC Babcock (Lauren Lane) on The Nanny, and Lisa Kudrow on Friends. They included it in the story line as Phoebe being the surrogate mother of her brother's children.

Patti LuPone's pregnancy was written into the show. The episode, The Visitor - Episode #25, was a powerful one when Libby learned she was pregnant. I cried during that episode especially when Libby was singing to the child and the scene with her and Corky at the end. The whole cast gave powerful performances in that one.

I already said that about Lisa Kudrow.

Katie Segal (Peg Bundy) on Married With Children was pregnant in real life and it was written into the show during season 6. She lost the baby, so the writers pulled a dallas and the whole storyline was a dream Al had. I believe she got pregnant again and they hid it this time.

This is not a sitcom, but when Annie on "7th Heaven" had the twins, was the actress (Catherine Hicks, I believe) pregnant at the time?
