Often accompanies ButICantBePregnant or ButWeUsedACondom. Sometimes used to accompany an actress' [[RealLifeWritesThePlot real life pregnancy]], which may account for some of the size so soon.

* In ''Manga/DoctorSlump'', this not only happens to Midori Yamabuki, but is actually lampshaded when Senbei promptly freaks out over her apparently abnormal development and gives her medical examinations to see if there's something strange going on. Well... [[GagSeries stranger than usual,]] anyway.

* Averted on ''Series/{{Degrassi}}'' with Liberty, who reveals her pregnancy when she's three months along and doesn't really start showing until she's about six months along. Even then, she was a realistic size, she didn't suddenly get as big as a house.

* The Creator/DCComics Chinese "super-functionary" Mother of Champions lives this trope. Then again, her metahuman power is the ability to conceive, safely carry and deliver [[ExplosiveBreeder inhumanly large litters]] of children (up to twenty five babies in one pregnancy), and a secondary power is that gestation, from conception to birth, takes only three days.

* [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate Hela]], after Thor knocked her up as part of their deal. Made more obvious by her {{Stripperific}} outfit. Somewhat justified by the fluid nature of time in the underworld -- even though Thor thought the conception had only happened the night before, enough time has passed in the afterlife that Hela is already in her last trimester.

Added DiffLines:

* Averted in ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}''. Lana is apparently pregnant by the end of the fourth season, but this is meant to be a surprise to both the other characters and ''us'', the audience. The episode where she actually reveals this drops little hints here and there, but based on the timeline, her pregnancy would have to have began quite some time before then. The next season plays this trope straight when she's very obviously showing.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Based on her size, Bonnie is likely in her third trimester by the time she makes her first appearance. It takes ''seven whole seasons'' before the writers finally let her give birth.

* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainCrownOfThorns'' wastes no time stating Burnet's pregnant with Kukui's kid, with Acerola immediately calling it out because of her baby bump, and how she has a HandOnWomb. Of course, with [[IdiotHero Ash]] being in Alola at the moment, there's a couple bets for how long it might take him to notice.

* Creator/AmyPoehler famously performed ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'''s 30th season for the entirety of her first pregnancy, with her eventually massive baby bump getting worked into sketches and only leaving when she was literally hours from delivery.



* An intermediate bit on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' had a very pregnant Maya Rudolph being assured by producer Lorne Michaels that she was barely showing.

* Justified in Robin's pregnancy in ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'': since Robin has SuperSpeed, her pregnancy from conception to birth only lasts about a month. It's averted in Amber's case, though.

* On ''Nurses'', Gina is late for work again because she's seeing a doctor for treatment of a "rash". Another nurse scoffs, "Who does she think she's kidding? Everyone knows she's pregnant." Gina promptly walks in, ''hugely'' pregnant. The other nurses play along, asking how her appointment went. Gina feebly claims, "I think the swelling went down" before finally confessing that she's pregnant, much to everyone's "surprise".
