If you want to indicate to your audience that a woman has just found out she's pregnant, thinks she might be, or just happens to be thinking about it, there's one tried and tested visual shorthand — she rests her hand lovingly on her lower abdomen. Exactly where depends on her knowledge of biology, but it should be pretty clear she's aiming for her womb.
It doesn't have to be the mother who does it; perhaps Bob comes in, kisses Alice on the cheek and lovingly strokes her belly. Or maybe Carlos struts into the room, gives Alice an evil grin, clutches her stomach and sneers "Does Bob know yet?" Either way, we're receiving the message loud and clear.
This gesture is usually made when the pregnancy is not visibly showing. Contrast Obvious Pregnancy, where the character has a prominent belly. It can overlap: if we see (for the first time) her belly, she may gently touch or caress its curve. This draws attention to it and leaves no doubt about what it means.
May lead to someone being Mistaken for Pregnant when really, she was just feeling queasy or bloated.
Note that to be this trope, it has to be the first time the audience knows about the pregnancy — if we already know she's pregnant, she is simply cradling her unborn child or Feeling the Baby Kick. And when she is heavily pregnant, it might just be the most convenient place to rest her hands.

This trope is used in Nohime's Sengoku Basara 2 ending to imply that, even though Oda Nobunaga is dead, she still has Someone to Remember Him By.

In the first Gossip Girl book, one of the many rumors surrounding Serena is that she is or was pregnant, which speculation is fuelled by the fact that she's seen resting her hand on her stomach during a school assembly.

In the prologue of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Olga Gurlokovich's father Sergei wants Olga to leave the ongoing operation out of concern for his unborn grandchild. She rests her hand on her womb for a moment before insisting on staying. Said unborn baby becomes a very important character in the rest of the series.

Cowboy Bebop: Katerina Solensan does this when she enter a bar together with Asimov. This is to make it obvious that she is pregnant and her ordering a Bloody Mary is just Spy Speak. This trope is subverted later in the episode as it's revealed that she isn't pregnant, she is hiding drugs under her dress.

Played for drama on one episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, one married couple said that their daughter was away traveling, Goren then made a bluff attack on the wife, who instinctively invoked this trope. Turns out her daughter was never born, and was petrified and still inside of the woman's womb.

In a subsequent flashback that takes place a few years later, she touches her womb when she notices Ray humming her song, causing her to realize that he is her son, having been separated from him due to being a Baby Factory and Ray lacking infantile amnesia.

In All's Well That Ends Well, Bertram, a callow noble, sets Helena, the woman who loves him, the apparently Impossible Task of wearing his ring and carrying his child without his knowing it—only then will he consent to marry her. Helena takes action and, with the help of a Bed Trick, pulls off the challenge. Some productions signify this by having Helena happily place her hand (or even Bertram's) on her belly when she explains how she completed his request.

Implied in Berserk. After an incident between herself and a crippled Griffith, Casca is distraught and is seen huddled beside one of the covered wagons crying. While doing so, she's seen putting her hand over her lower abdomen. One could ride it off as her stomach being upset, but she's only put her hand over this region once before: when she was having menstrual cramps. Two volumes later, it's officially but tragically revealed that Casca was pregnant after she miscarried the fetus due to the trauma she sustained during the Eclipse. Whether Casca herself was aware of the pregnancy is never made clear.

A variation occurs in A Raisin in the Sun. Ruth Younger discovers that she is pregnant in the first act, but secretly plans to get an abortion because she knows that the family doesn't have the money or physical space to support another child. But later, after Mama Younger uses a life insurance payout to purchase the family a proper house, Ruth ecstatically celebrates and places her hand on her stomach with joy; the stage directions indicate that this is the first time she's doing this because it's the first time she's actually happy about the pregnancy.

In Season 7 of Game of Thrones, Cersei announces her Surprise Pregnancy (she was previously believed to be past childbearing years) to Jaime and the audience by putting her hands on her abdomen, after giving Jaime a speech about how they'll destroy all their enemies "for ourselves, for our house. For this."
House of the Dragon: Queen Aemma, Alicent Hightower and Rhaenyra Targaryen touch their own wombs a couple of times when they're pregnant in Season 1.

Angel's Egg: An abstract variant. The girl is not pregnant. She is however taking care of the large mysterious egg, and often carries it by stuffing it under her dress and holding it protectively with her arms. Her gentle posture mirrors a pregnant woman cradling her large belly. Whatever is within the egg, she takes a maternal attitude toward it.

At the end of Dogma, Bethany seems to have come to terms with her status as the Last Scion, and admits as such to the Metatron. But then he does this, correcting her, "You were the Last Scion, now this is the Last Scion."

Unsounded: Despite wearing a glamor to hide her pregnancy Emne gently places a hand on her pregnant stomach, giving away that she is much further along in her pregnancy than she would be able to reveal to the public without a huge amount of controversy given her heroic husband's popularity and recent widely mourned death.

Drowtales:
Nei'kalsa was observed doing a double handed version in the background of one scene, and Word of God later confirmed she's pregnant, since her being pregnant had no impact on the scene at hand and had no good reason to be mentioned in the dialog.
Zala'ess also does this when we first see her with an Obvious Pregnancy in chapter 47. It's later shown that it was in fact a Pillow Pregnancy and something of an Invoked Trope, as she was using this to rub her fertility into the face of Quain'tana, who is tragically and sorely barren.

Near the end of Space Battleship Yamato 2199, the Yamato leaves Iskandar with her mission accomplished. Queen Starsha watches them leave from Mamoru Kodai's graveside with her hands over her abdomen, leading fans to think they were romantically involved before his death and that she's pregnant.

Star Wars Rebels: At the beginning of "Family Reunion — and Farewell", Hera looks down at her abdomen and puts her hand on it while overhearing Ezra talk to a photo of his parents. The Distant Finale later shows Hera with her son that she had with the late Kanan. Word of God is that the two have been regularly "getting some" offscreen throughout the show, but conceived their child during a scene transition a couple of episodes prior. Presumably, Hera discovered her pregnancy after she had to return to Yavin 4 during the mission, as a Rewatch Bonus suggests that she was trying to reveal her pregnancy to Kanan in his final episode.

At the end of No Time to Die's Action Prologue, as James Bond and Madeleine part ways, Madeleine can be seen doing this, though no attention is brought to it. Sure enough, when they reunite five years later, Madeleine now has a young daughter. And yes, Bond is the father.

The Boy and the Heron: Shortly after Mahito and Natsuko start the trip to her estate, she takes his hand and puts it on her belly, asking if he can feel the baby moving. This serves as an abrupt indicator to both Mahito and the audience of how much Mahito's father has moved on from the loss of his wife, and while Natsuko likely means for it to be a bonding moment between her and Mahito, he seems to be put off by it.
