Most of the times that I've seen this that I can think of was because the actress became pregnant so, um, blame reality?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. And it becomes rushed all of a sudden because the writers are going "Oh crap, we need to set up why the character is pregnant all of a sudden because the actress is, so lets add a plot about them wanting a kid!"

It's rushed because most of these pregnancies aren't planned and the producers aren't thinking about "Will my leading characters get pregnant and thus force the show to be about kids?"

Gates McFadden was pregnant during TNG's run. They used strategic placements like putting her behind objects like high-back chairs and consoles to hide her baby bump, wardrobe decisions, and camera angles to hide it so they wouldn't have to write a pregnancy storyline for Crusher. There is also CG.

Same with Gillian Anderson on The X-Files.

Plenty of ways around it.
Plus when a male actor gets injured (Kit Harrington, Game of Thrones) it doesn't get written into the script, it's worked around without issue. Why does a character have to have a kid, shifting her entire storyline?
And what happens if fetal death occurs, do you leave the character pregnant?
It's a stupid and lazy cop-out in almost every case.
