In its time, I Love Lucy made history. It was the first series in cinematic history where a real pregnant actress portrayed a pregnant character. However, despite the fact that it was groundbreaking, it wasn’t that simple.
At the time, censors were really strict. Even though it seems strange now, the characters weren’t even allowed to use the word pregnant in the show because it was considered vulgar; in fact, the character who played Lucy’s husband was the actress’s real-life husband. Instead, they had to say that “Lucy was expecting. “.

The Big Bang Theory’s Bernadette experienced two pregnancies during the program. It’s interesting that neither pregnancy was really planned, but after learning of the first one, Bernie and her husband Howard quickly realized they had made the wrong decision. However, the second pregnancy was entirely accidental as it occurred only nine months after the birth of their first child. For showrunners, this plot twist was also unplanned. Because Melissa Rauch, the actress who plays Bernadette, announced her pregnancy, they decided to include the second pregnancy.

Marcia Cross was expecting twins for the majority of Desperate Housewives season three. Bree Van de Kamps had to conceal her pregnancy with pillows, large bags, and other items because it was decided not to incorporate her pregnancy into the story.
But eventually, the show’s creators came to the conclusion that it would make for an intriguing plot twist (and would also enable them to stop hiding the heavily pregnant Cross) if Bree pretended to be pregnant in order to save her teenage daughter Danielles in the eyes of others and raise the child she had outside of marriage as her own.
