Amanda Tapping's pregnancy was not written into the show, she went on maternity leave and Valla's character took over for Carter during that period.

And shows can have pregnant actresses without actually making their character's pregnant, it is a thing.

Well, written into the show in that she was still present but only seen at remote sites. In this context I meant not actually replaced, just sidelined from the team for a bit and left as a cast member. They used the switch to the new season to hide it via her "reassignment to Area 51."
