The actress was pregnant in real life.

That happened with Amanda Tapping (Major Samantha Carter) and Claudia Black (Valla Maldoran) as well. their pregnancies were written into the show.

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."

Oh sure, my point was that an actress' pregnancy doesn't automatically mean that has to get included in the plot. In SGU's case, I respect the actress got pregnant, but the plot was so similar to the 200th episode satire that I just couldn't help but laugh when this episode came out.

There was no way to hide it on a series like SGU.

Maybe if they killed the character, or created a hostage situation. But they had already done that with Teyla wheb her actress got pregnant.
