* ''Series/RedDwarf'': The episode "Dad" was [[WhatCouldHaveBenn intended to be an example of this.]] It would have revolved around Lister giving birth to a child (conceived in the Parallel Universe)and dealing with fatherhood before ultimately having to send it back to its conceived dimension. The episode was ultimately scrapped as the creators thought the jokes were too sexist and the plot was briefly summarised in the opening crawl for "Backwards".

* ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf'' has "The Birth Of Psycheliana" as this kind of episode, as it treks through Smurfette's pregnancy with Empath's child to the birth. Similar works in the ''Fanfic/HeroTheGuardianSmurf'' series include "The Smurfiest Arrival" (birth of Hero's first child Saviour) and "A True Miracle" (birth of Hero's second child Miracle).
