A character (usually male) overhears a conversation or finds some evidence that leads him to mistakenly believe another character is pregnant. If the suspected pregnancy is with his love interest, he will freak out over the thought of being a father. The episode will be about his attempts to cope. He will have accepted the idea by the end and will be mildly disappointed when he finds out that it was a false alarm. If the suspected expecting woman does not have an established love interest, he will try to determine who the father is. Usually, he will pinpoint some character that she has romantic tension with but is not sleeping with. He will confront the suspected father but will dance around the word "pregnant", leaving the suspect completely bewildered as to what's going on. In any case, he will walk on eggshells around the not-so-expectant Mom and will tell everyone except his suspects what he thinks is going on. This may lead to some One Drink Will Kill the Baby moments as the poor woman wonders why everyone looks horrified that she's sipping at a glass of wine. During the course of the episode, everyone will be convinced she is pregnant except for her. In order for this trope to work, several characters have to be using the Idiot Ball that week. Yet, it may be Truth in Television. An alternative is when a woman is assumed to be pregnant due to having what appears to be a sufficiently large, protruding stomach (which can lead to extreme awkwardness for obvious reasons), or displays quirks that could be mistaken for stereotypical "pregnancy traits", such as random bouts of vomiting, extreme appetites and Wacky Cravings. Fake Pregnancy is when a woman invokes this trope, usually on purpose (for Pillow Pregnancy, she does so by concealing something under her clothes). Subtrope of Innocently Insensitive. Contrast its inversion, Surprise Pregnancy. |

In a Sweet Valley High novel, the girls think their mother is expecting. Initially freaked out, they eventually decide that they'd love to be big sisters and decide to offer their mother support by going on and on about how nice it would be to have a baby around. The result is that their mother assumes one of THEM is pregnant. When they hurriedly correct her and tell her they were trying to be supportive of her, the trope is played twice when it turns out she isn't pregnant either. | |

In the first segment of the season three opener of Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction, "Morning Sickness," a girl suffers symptoms of what her parents are convinced is pregnancy, despite a negative pregnancy test and the daughter's claims that she's still a virgin. At the hospital, doctors tell the parents that there's a tumor or cyst in the daughter's intestines, but during surgery to remove it, said tumor turns out to be a live baby octopus, resulting from when the daughter swallowed an octopus egg while swimming in the ocean. Thankfully, at the end of the episode, it's revealed that the story never happened, it's just a really popular urban legend. | |

At least three separate Not Always Right stories deal with this trope. This woman, upon learning her mistake, inadvertently insults the "pregnant" lady in question. This person gets angry because they believe the woman is pawning off others by pretending to be pregnant. Finally, this woman appears a bit chunky because of a medical condition requiring her to take steroids, resulting in a person straight up rubbing her belly out of nowhere. She is not amused. Meanwhile, over on Not Always Friendly, a woman threatens to call the cops on a female customer for daring to drink when pregnant. "I'm not pregnant; I'm just fat." |

An issue of MAD had a feature on conversation "saves"; that is, how to rebound from a potentially embarrassing mistake. One example featured two women at a bus stop; the first asks the second, "When are you expecting...?" The second woman, who is heavyset, replies, "I'm not pregnant." The first woman finishes her sentence: "...That darn bus to arrive? It's always late!" | |

On The Nanny youngest daughter Grace (who is like 6 years old at the time) thinks she's pregnant due to misunderstanding the standard euphemisms Fran & Maggie use when talking about a character on a soap opera, who is pregnant. Grace and her "boyfriend" (male friend) "slept together" (they had a nap at the same time) which made her "late" (to a movie). The boy decides to do the right thing: marry Grace and find a job. | |

General Hospital's AJ Quartermaine notices that younger brother Jason is scrambling around, desperately trying to get some money, but not wanting any adult, especially his parents to find out. AJ quietly asks him if he's gotten his girlfriend Karen pregnant, obviously assuming that he needs the money to pay for an abortion. Jason truthfully assures him otherwise, but AJ clearly doesn't believe him. | |

On an episode of The Flintstones, Fred accidentally sits on Wilma's knitting needles and finds a partially-knitted sock. He assumes Wilma is pregnant and excitedly runs outside with the news before Wilma has a chance to explain that it was for Betty's sister's baby. Note that Fred found a similar knitting arrangement in a later episode in that same season, but this time, it led to the announcement that Wilma was pregnant with Pebbles. | |

Dad's Army In a formerly Missing Episode the entire cast mistakenly believes Mrs. Pike is pregnant, when in fact she has arranged to take in an evacuee child. After its original broadcast in the 1970s, it received viewer complaints that the plot was too crude. A copy of this episode has been discovered and is included (along with the other surviving Season 2 episodes) on the Season 1 DVD. Also happens in another episode where the platoon thinks Mrs. Mainwaring is pregnant after a misunderstanding between Mainwaring and Jones. Mainwaring sets them straight at the end of the episode. |

Liz Lemon in the second season finale of 30 Rock mistakenly thinks she's pregnant, caused from eating one too many bags of Sabor de Soledad. It's played with in a scene when she goes through calendars, stating that she should cross off the days when she last had her period "like people do in movies." Jenna also discovers the positive pregnancy tests and is distressed because "someone's going to get more attention than me!", and Dennis, the presumed father, hangs out in Liz's apartment (uninvited), listens to her voicemail, and immediately lays out his plans for the baby, such as naming it Morpheus. | |

In an episode of Goof Troop, Peg was unusually cheerful one day and told Pete and PJ she had a big surprise for them. Later on Pistol (the daughter) asked Pete if she could have a little brother; Pete told her yes because he wasn't paying attention; she told PJ that they were getting a little brother, and PJ tells Max, who in turn tells Goofy, who then tells Pete which causes him to freak out. At the end of the episode, Peg comes back with a basket, causing Pete to run away. As it turns out she was so happy because she had sold an expensive building and paid for a trip to Hawaii. | |

The Crumpets had this happen in the episode "Lil' Wrinkly One", where Granny eats some cocoa-patches that look like cigarettes and becomes bloated, but everyone else in the family assumes she is expecting. Eventually, everyone in the family (including their dog) except Lil' One and Pa, and Cassandra McBrisk has eaten the cocoa-patches and become bloated while being assumed to be pregnant. Lil' One eventually discovers that he can make the bloating go away by pressing against their stomachs, which makes them lose the excess bulging by passing gas. In the ending, Lil' One gives Pa one of the cocoa-patches, leaving him bloated and self-expectant. | |

At some point in Case Closed, Miwako Satou makes an off-hand comment to her boyfriend Wataru Takagi about something important being either lost or late. Cue to said boyfriend and their friends thinking she's missing her period and is likely pregnant. She's referring to her red badge that their department wears, having lost it in a perp-chase. As a corollary, this subtly confirms the Running Gag-like implications about Satou and Takagi being sexually active. | |

In an episode of Bewitched, Louise suspects she is pregnant. She has told Samantha but no one else. Larry catches his wife and Samantha visiting the doctor together, draws the conclusion that Samantha is pregnant, and tells Darrin what he saw. Later as the four of them are having dinner together when Louise broaches the subject, Larry kicks her under the table, then admonishes her that this is sensitive and personal information that Samantha should be the one to tell Darrin. | |

Malcolm in the Middle: Hal does this to a prospective employer, rubbing her belly and playfully asking "Oh, and what have we heeeere?" to which the woman replies in mocking singsong that it's her big, fat stomach. Not surprisingly, the scene quickly jump-cuts to Hal's next job interview. In another episode, Lois lets Dewey believe she's pregnant because she doesn't want him to know that she's actually been gaining weight. |

This Fate/Grand Order fancomic has Morgan convinced she is pregnant with her master's child because of a bulge at her stomach, even though at most they held hands (which Morgan believes is able to make her pregnant). A check-up from Asclepius reveals that she just put on some fat from not exercising enough and eating too many snacks. | |

Joan of Arcadia included an episode where Helen has a positive return on a pregnancy test. However, Luke finds the test, believes it's Joan's, and spends most of the episode panicking about being an uncle. As with Friends, unusual in that someone actually was pregnant (although the episode ends with Helen revealing she had her period that evening, indicating an early miscarriage. Or a false positive. They're fairly common.) | |

Has happened twice in Neogicia. In the first novel, when Saly's classmates find out that the notoriously still unmarried emperor of their faction is keeping an eye on her, one of the rumors that gets started is her being pregnant with the emperor's illegitimate child. In the second novel, some people she runs into have a reason to think she's a Sex Slave who has either run away or been thrown out of her master's house. One of the speculated reasons for which the latter would have happened is getting pregnant. | |

When she tries to tell her boyfriend (who is drunk) about it, she gets as far as saying she went to the doctor, before he thinks she's pregnant and kicks her out, not wanting responsibility and angrily thinking it could be someone else's kid. He realizes his mistake when the doctor calls and apologizes while promising to help pay for the treatment. | |

She rubs Ivy's belly and congratulates her, but Ivy tells her she's not pregnant and doesn't know why the stuff is there. It turns out to be a prank set up by The Joker mocking Harley for having Robin, a preteen boy, as an arch-nemesis. | |

Keitaro has to deal with this in Love Hina when he and everyone else wake up to find Mutsumi sleeping naked in his futon with him. Mutsumi's comments about last night being great and the test being "positive" has even Keitaro himself thinking he knocked her up. Actually, she just fell through the hole in Naru's room, decided to sleep where she landed, and was referring to Keitaro's help in studying. When Keitaro expresses mild regret about the misunderstanding, of course, he's chased off by Naru (vowing to personally neuter him). | |

This leads Jack, the man's brother, to announce this misconception to all of her friends at a New Year's Eve party when he tries to prevent her from drinking an alcoholic beverage.

A particularly disturbing version happens in CSI. Catherine is interrogating the daughter of a murder suspect when the girl begins to lactate—a symptom which, coupled with the fact they just found evidence of the daughter sharing her father's bed, leads Catherine to suspect the worst. However, the medical examination reveals the girl is, in fact, a virgin, and her symptoms are the result of a "false pregnancy" brought on by a very extreme Electra complex. | |

Mae's mother in Night in the Woods briefly wonders if Mae is pregnant. This has nothing to do with Mae's weight, however — she gets this idea because Mae dropped out of college, seemingly out of nowhere, to come and live at home, and has been feeling physically ill and has been unusually moody and avoidant. Of course, it's nothing like that at all, but Mae's mother is surprisingly supportive and open-minded when she asks Mae about it. | |

Female hosts of Texas Tummy Twisters, a repulsive parasite that takes root in the stomach and creates a significantly distended gut, can often be mistaken as being simply pregnant and sometimes may be compelled to claim that they are by their parasite in order to disguise what's actually happening. |

In one issue of the Gold Digger comic, Charlotte the Harpy is mistaken for being pregnant when she staggers off of a plane, groaning in pain and looking distressed with her stomach bulging. A doctor immediately starts prepping her for delivery, after some mild shock at discovering her race, only to discover that she's not pregnant at all: Charlotte had (seriously) overindulged on complimentary peanuts and pretzels while aboard the plane. What he mistook for labor pains was the resultant stomachache from hell after stuffing herself into a Balloon Belly. Charlotte herself is somewhat disappointed when she's told this means she is not going to have a baby. | |

Happened in Mind Your Language where when Anna starts crying in class, Miss Courtney suggests to Jeremy that Anna may be having boyfriend woes. Subsequently, when she tells him she is "in trouble", Jeremy jumps to the conclusion that she's pregnant (she was actually afraid of having to go back to Germany if her visa to remain in the UK isn't renewed.) | |

How I Met Your Mother: In one episode Marshall mentions that their mailperson hates him because Marshall genuinely mistook him for a pregnant lady. In the Season 2 finale, when Ted and Robin have a big secret they are trying to hide at Marshall and Lily's wedding, Barney thinks that Robin is pregnant with Ted's child after seeing her drink a bottle of water (there was also a flashback showing Ted and Robin having unprotected sex on the couch, which further adds up Barney's suspicions). However, it turns out that Robin isn't pregnant and they broke up. |

In an early episode of Charmed, Phoebe finds the box from a pregnancy test Piper had taken in the trash, and touching it gives her a vision of a demon child being born (the first warlock they fought after discovering their powers turned out to be Piper's boyfriend, adding a bit more credence to the idea). Typical comedic misunderstandings ensue until Phoebe confronts her with "I'm going to have to kill you before you can give birth to the prophesied demon, but it's okay because I haven't found the specific knife yet, so we've got some time." Piper is, of course, not pregnant, and is more offended by that implication than the death threat. | |

Frasier Niles half-hears a conversation between Daphne and Frasier about the need to keep Roz's pregnancy a secret and concludes that Daphne is pregnant and Frasier is the father. Things escalate from there until he drunkenly challenges his brother to a duel for Daphne's honor. Another episode has a pregnant Roz this close to talking her way out of a parking ticket due to her condition until she mistakenly asks the female traffic cop when she's due. Roz readily accepts her ticket after that. Daphne is again mistaken for pregnant as she prepares to marry Donny. Her brother Simon assumes her stress eating is a sign that she's expecting; she's actually just extremely frazzled over her newfound feelings for Niles. (Ironically, her actress Jane Leeves was pregnant at the time.) |

Friends: When Chandler and Monica agree to move in together, everyone they tell assumes the "big news" they're sharing is that Monica's pregnant. After the third time it happens, Monica snaps that she's going to throw away the baggy shirt she's wearing. "The One With Chandler and Monica's Wedding" and "The One After 'I Do'". In this one, Phoebe found a positive pregnancy test and Rachel (whose test it was) allowed everyone to assume it was Monica's. Then when Phoebe learnt the truth, but Rachel still didn't want to tell anyone, she claimed she was the one who was pregnant. This leads to Joey proposing marriage so she won't have to go it alone. |

The Peace Not Promised: Hagrid misunderstands an exchange between Severus and Lily, thinks that she's pregnant, and tells the other staff members — without asking Lily herself about it first. Cue efforts to keep her away from alcohol and stop her from helping to brew teratogenic potions, much to her confusion. For additional drama, Severus learns about the rumour before Lily does, and assumes it's true. | |
