Line 21:
* ''[[Baby Mama]]'': {{spoiler|at the end of the film, Kate, who was supposed to be infertile or close to, discovers that she is pregnant}}.
* ''[[Village of the Damned (Film)|Village of the Damned]]'' (from the sci-fi novel ''[[The Midwich Cuckoos (Literature)|The Midwich Cuckoos]]'' by [[John Wyndham]]). Aliens impregnate every woman of child-bearing age in a small English town. Initial reactions range from joy (from a previously childless couple) to suspicion (from a husband who's been away at sea) to the above incredulous reaction from a teenage virgin.
* ''[[Dogma]]''. Despite having been infertile for apparently years, at the end of the movie Bethany is told by Metatron that she's [[Double Standard Rape (Divine On Mortal)|miraculously]] pregnant (necessary because she's the Last Scion - need to keep that bloodline going). It's heavily implied that because she's a descendant of the Virgin Mary her pregnancy is similar to Mary's conception of Jesus.
* The Czech films ''[[Divided We Fall]]'' and ''[[Little Otik]]'' both in a sense follow this trope and subvert it. Both couples in both films are infertile (in both cases {{spoiler|it seems it is HIS fault, not hers}}), and both couples get around nature to create a child, either a real one - {{spoiler|by using someone else to impregnate the wife}} (''Divided We Fall'') or a monstrous one, {{spoiler|by using a piece of wood carved into the rough shape of a child as a doll, which then comes to life and starts to devour the household}} (''Little Otik''). In each case, it is the neighbours who are forced to suspend their disbelief at the "fact" the wife is pregnant, rather than the couple themselves, who collude in trying to bring a child into the world.
* Once Bella becomes pregnant in ''[[The Twilight Saga]]: Breaking Dawn'' Edward asks if it's even possible as he is a vampire and Bella is a human.
