Nope, the pregnancy was the excuse that was used after she quit due to being sexually harassed by a senior someone on the production team. When he was sacked after the end of S2 (because he was an ass on the level usually justified by being a brilliant doctor with a limp) Gates came back. In fact Patrick Stewart actually threatened to quit the show if that someone was allowed to stay on and prevent Gates from returning. Her pregnancy was co-incidental and was used as the face-saving excuse at the time.

Wow this is interesting. I didn't know!

About the secret: I think she was an interesting character and I really don't hate anyone, especially any of the TNG characters.

I don't think McFadden was pregnant at that time, and I don't remember it ever being mentioned in interviews or statements.

She was pregnant with her son during the filming of the fourth season. You can see that she's very visibly pregnant in The Host, for example.
