** To complicate matters further, one of the most intensively Crusher-centered episodes of the series, "The Host", was made while her pregnancy was quite advanced. While it may seem relatively simple, since this episode involves a romance with a lot of on-screen physical contact, it's actually quite challenging to do while not showing her pregnancy. The writer, interviewed later, said it made the episode even ''better,'' saying that there is a "glow" to women in love and certainly a "glow" on pregnant women.
* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': The character Keiko O'Brien was already pregnant when Kira's actress, Creator/NanaVisitor, became pregnant. As Keiko's actress was not pregnant, a [[WrittenInInfirmity technobabble solution]] was found, requiring Nana Visitor to hide her pregnancy until the relevant episode occurred: a runabout carrying Keiko, Kira and Bashir was involved in a major incident that left Keiko so badly injured the only way to save the unborn baby was to adapt the transporters on the fly to move the baby to the only other available womb. Due to peculiarities of Bajoran physiology, the baby couldn't be transferred back once Keiko had recovered, resulting in Kira moving into the O'Brien's quarters for the remainder of the pregnancy so that the parents could still feel involved with their child's pregnancy. When the [[WrittenInInfirmity pregnancy symptoms]] get too much for Kira, she has an argument with Bashir about how this is his fault. While she's referring to his decision to transfer the baby, it's a show in-joke as Bashir's actor, Alexander Siddig, was the father of Nana Visitor's baby.
* Likewise, Roxanne Dawson (Lt. Torres) of ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. The writers considered writing her pregnancy into the plot, but decided against it, resulting in a long period in which her character was never shown from the chest down ''and'' wearing a [[WrenchWench smock holding engineering tools]] (except for the two-part episode "The Killing Game" set in the holodeck where the character was forced by aliens who had taken over the ship into portraying a pregnant woman). Amusingly enough, her character later became pregnant. Also due to her pregnancy, there was only one Torres-focused episode in the whole season.

*** In the episode "[[Recap/BrooklynNineNineS7E11Valloweaster Valloweaster]]", the first part of the episode took place within a flashback to Halloween, when Jake and Amy were still trying for a baby. Creator/MelissaFumero wears a baggy pumpkin costume to conceal her preganancy, which is lampshaded when Jake claims that that she's clearly only wearing it to hide her equipment for the heist, despite her claiming that she was wearing it because she was giving candy to children earlier and didn't have time to change. She later confirms that Jake guessed correctly to Boyle.

** Creator/MelissaFumero announced her pregnancy with her first child a few weeks into the airing of Season 3. Since her character, Amy, had entered into a romantic relationship with the main character just a few episodes before, the writers apparently decided that it wasn't a good time to write her pregnancy into the plot. Fortunately, the fact that it's a sitcom allows for a decent amount of LampshadeHanging (Jake trying to get suggestions for a gift for their six-month anniversary and reacting with disgust to his Charles' suggestion that it's time he "put a baby in her!", for example), and Amy's fairly neutral wardrobe has always consisted of loose blouses and suit jackets anyway, meaning that a lot of the time the actress' baby bump is covered up quite effectively. Impressively it's also yet to impact on her ActionGirl status, with her doing some pretty physical perp chases, [[ItMakesSenseInContext interpretive dance moves]], and briefly fighting Terry in a training session, all of which have been performed without recourse to a FakeShemp.
