Line 32:
* About midway through the film production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's ''[[Evita]]'', [[Madonna]] discovered that she was pregnant with her first child. The film directors went to great lengths to cover up the possibility of her "Eva Peron" getting pregnant, even if it meant removing some scenes of her being carried out of the church for fear she might slip.
* Catherine Zeta-Jones during ''[[Chicago]]'', that's why she never shows her stomach.
* Filipino actress Sharon Cuneta was pregnant with her daughter KC Concepcion when she was filming ''[[Bituwing Walang Ningning]]'' (lit. 'Star Without a Sparkle'). It became apparent that Sharon's baby bump was starting to grow, and as such, the film crew had to either film her from the chest up or use various objects such as bookshelves and lampshades in order to conceal Sharon's growing womb.

* Katey Segal became pregnant twice during the run of ''[[Married... with Children|Married With Children]]'', the first time in season 6, Peg actually was pregnant, it stayed for half a season, then it was [[retcon]]ned into a dream after she miscarried in real life, later on in season 9 or 10 during her second pregnancy her stomach was either obscured by an object or not always shown on screen.
* When [[Traylor Howard]] got pregnant during the fourth season of ''[[Monk]]'', she was usually filmed chest up in the usual way. However, in one episode her character Natalie is uncomfortable being around an old, obsessive boyfriend (played by [[Sean Astin]]!) and stuffs a pillow under her shirt so he'll think she's pregnant, allowing them to shoot her normally.
* Completely averted with Kari Byron of ''[[Myth BustersMythBusters]]'', with the show being a non-fiction science series and all. Because of her pregnancy, she [[Alcohol Is Poison|couldn't participate in the hangover myth.]] Didn't stop her from enjoying Grant and Tory's discomfiture and their [[Hangover Sensitivity]] [[Jerkass|way too much, though]]. She also exercised extra precautions when doing gun myths.
