* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. Played for drama when HalfHumanHybrid B'Elanna Torres is going to give birth but becomes obsessed with removing any Klingon traits from her child so she won't have to put up with the FantasticRacism that B'Elanna did. Everyone else thinks her concerns are exaggerated, and given that B'Elanna is a {{tsundere}} it's not surprising she blows her top when she thinks she's being patronized.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFltinstones'': In the special where an adult Pebbles is pregnant, she flies off the handle and rants at someone at her job.

* In a cutaway on ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy,'', a pregnant Lois is seen laughing, hysterically sobbing then [[VomitIndiscretionShot puking wildly]] when Chris asks about his lost jacket.

* ''Series/GilmoreGirls'': Sookie becomes extremely melodramatic during her pregnancies, in addition to her WackyCravings messing up her sense of smell. The second time, the Dragonfly Inn temporarily taking lunch off the menu for budget reasons makes Sookie hysterical, which makes her realize she's pregnant.

* In the third season of ''Anime/HellGirl'', there is one episode where a mother becomes abusive towards her little step-son after she has become pregnant, since she values her own unborn daughter more than her step-son. The step-son resolves this problem by sending his unborn sister to hell, resulting that his mother becomes nice again. This is actually happiest ending of the entire season.

* Combined with LoveMakesYouCrazy in ''Film/NightSchool1981''. After learning she is pregnant, [[spoiler:Eleanor]] starts murdering all of the women her partner has been unfaithful with, and then anyone who threatens him or his career.
* In ''Film/{{Waitress}}'', After Jenna gets pregnant she gets in a [[YourCheatingHeart passionate affair with her married doctor]].

* On ''Series/MyNameIsEarl'', Earl recalls how he once had a friend named Raynard, who let Earl and Randy crash with him when their father threw them out of the house (again). Not ''too'' much later, Earl had his AccidentalMarriage to a very pregnant Joy (who had been kicked out of her parents' house for becoming pregnant out of wedlock). Raynard came knocking on Earl's trailer, saying that he got evicted and needed a place to stay. Earl replied that though he would love to help, he has a wife now, who's pregnant and as a result, irritable. Joy starts yelling at them that they're being too loud (they were whispering), and then tearfully accuses Earl of not caring about her, before wetting the bed. Earl feels guilty for not being able to help his friend.

* ''Series/{{Amen}}''. As hers and the Reverend's first anniversary approaches, Thelma displays everyone of the symptoms listed in the page description. Her father notes that her mother was the same way as ''their'' first anniversary arrived--"laughing and giggling one minute, throwing pots and pans at me the next. But she had a good excuse--she was pregnant." His, Amelia's, and Tilly's eyes widen as they realize the likely reason for Thelma's loopy behavior. Sure enough, she's expecting. She continues with this behavior for several episodes afterwards.

* Inverted in the ''Film/CabinFever'' fanfiction [[https://www.wattpad.com/story/197976919-cabin-fever-promises-to-keep Cabin Fever: Promises To Keep]]. From Marcy's recollection, it seems she was suffering from severe depression and/or PTSD over the death of her friends ([[SomeoneToRememberHimBy including]] [[OneNightStandPregnancy the unwitting father of her baby]]) during the early weeks of her pregnancy. But the realization that she was about to become a mother with responsibilities prompted her to get her shit together and brought her back from the brink of madness to stability.

* In a cutaway on ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', a pregnant Lois is seen laughing, hysterically sobbing then [[VomitIndiscretionShot puking wildly]] when Chris asks about his lost jacket.

* In ''Series/{{Frasier}}'', when Daphne became pregnant, her fuse became shorter.

* In ''Film/{{Waitress}}'', After Jenna gets pregnant she gets in a [[YouCheatingHeart passionate affair with her married doctor]].

* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'': It becomes a plot point during Lily's pregnancy that she begins to act very irrationally and scrambling her words, which the others blame on "pregnancy brain". On Halloween, she answers the door and gives the trick-o-treaters a stapler, and later realizes what she has done and starts crying because she misses the stapler.

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': Cersei is known to be pregnant as the end of season 7. While this doesn't explain her increasing StupidEvil tendencies, it certainly couldn't have helped to restrain them (at one point she comes close to ordering the execution of her brother, lover and only ally Jaime).
