If your favorite female TV character is wearing baggy clothing, holding groceries, suddenly "getting fat," or standing behind random props, a cover-up may be in play.

Actresses, props teams, and everyone behind the camera do a lot to hide pregnancies during filming. Gal Gadot's pregnancy had to be hidden while shooting an additional scene for "Wonder Woman." But this is more frequently an issue for TV actors, as shows have season deadlines that aren't always as forgiving as the ones for films. 

Not every pregnancy can be written into a character's storyline. So shows get creative in maneuvering around baby bumps. Often that just means the actresses are draped in comically oversized clothes, winter lasts forever because the coats are convenient, or actresses are hidden behind randomly placed objects. Or they're simply filmed from the chest up.

Take a look at which actresses were pregnant while filming and how they hid it.
