In Real Life, pregnancy is just a natural part of the cycle of life. Mothers often manage to work until they go into labor and resume normal activity a few days after giving birth. However, it is also damned inconvenient, with possible drawbacks including tenderness of various body parts, nausea and vomiting, painful strain on joints and ligaments, burping and farting loudly, and skin irritation. A pregnant body must endure some awkward changes in size, shape and weight as it stretches to accommodate a growing fetus. Undue stress can sometimes provoke a miscarriage. Particularly troublesome pregnancies can even be incapacitating. In fiction, pregnancy will more likely tend toward dramatic extremes. Either it is a debilitating condition that takes former Action Girls out of commission for the duration — rendering them physically and emotionally fragile or even bedridden — or exactly the opposite. Whether it's due to surging hormones or newfound parental instincts, pregnancy can cause someone to Take a Level in Badass — sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently in preparation for becoming a Mama Bear or Action Mom, or in the case of a man, Papa Wolf or Action Dad. Sometimes allies or others close to the mother object to this, even when they otherwise respect her Action Girl prowess and do not think Women Are Delicate. They worry she is at a disadvantage, or that extreme stress could endanger her or the baby. Sometimes the mother agrees, which makes the character even more formidable — she only fights when no other option is left, with the raw fury of a Cornered Rattlesnake. In milder danger, a pregnant character proves herself a Badass Bystander or competent Action Survivor. In extreme circumstances, this badass runs into a major battle nine months pregnant, goes into labor while fighting, harnesses the pain of a Screaming Birth to become a Screaming Warrior, retires just long enough to deliver the baby, then picks up a weapon with one hand and returns to the fray while cradling the newborn in the other. An extraordinary Mystical Pregnancy may even Power-Up the mother with Functional Magic, or the fetus may be Super-Empowering. Compare and contrast Imperiled in Pregnancy and Pregnant Hostage: the character may reveal a Hidden Badass nature in response to such peril and make any foe regret underestimating them. And they may not be alone in the fight: the parents might be a Battle Couple, and maybe they are expecting the newest member of the Badass Family. Note that in order to qualify for this trope, the pregnancy should have some noticeable physical effect on the badass, whether the general malaise of the early stages or the Temporary Bulk Change that happens later. If they are huge and heavy but still manage to move with grace and swiftness, compare Acrofatic. If they are significantly hindered, compare Handicapped Badass. Examples |

In some versions of the tragedy Deirdre of the Sorrows. Deirdre has just reached marriageable age in Iron-Age Ireland (15 for women, 18 for men) when she falls in love with Naoise and they flee Ulster to Scotland with Naoise's brothers to escape the wrath of King Conchobhar of Ulster, who wants Deirdre all to himself; in some versions of the tale, Deirdre and Naoise have a son, Gaiar, and a daughter, Aebgreine, during their self-imposed exile. For a young couple on the run (with her sweetheart's two brothers) from a very wrathful king and minimal experience with children, Deirdre manages as a mother. | |

Desperate Housewives has Lynette Scavo, who pushes a young girl out of the way of a crashed plane barreling down the street while pregnant with twins. Unfortunately, the event causes her to miscarry one of those twins. A later example finds her convincing a serial killer, a very troubled boy she befriended, to help her deliver her baby, save said baby's life, and winds up convincing him to turn himself in. |

The Cyanide & Happiness Show: "Pharmacy" is a grotesque parody of Fighting Games. Two pregnant women, irritated over waiting at the pharmacy, attack one another by aggressively bashing their bellies together while the babies strike and jab from inside. The "losing" baby is "knocked-out" — of its mother's womb. | |

In Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, there was Anna's mentor, Umimi Habara, a pro-duelist and half of a Battle Couple with her husband Tobio; in truth, she was planning to retire from the pro-circuit for this reason, but wanted to duel one last time at a public event to announce it - at which point Anna confronted her about it as her opponent, dragging Yuma into it. Unfortunately, she became the latest Brainwashed and Crazy Barian victim in the process and then fit this Trope to a T. Fortunately, she got better. | |

She is later kidnapped by the baddie wanting to get back at Michael, while she isn't able to escape herself she is able to put a very impressive fight.

A Certain Magical Index has Freyja, a girl with powers based on her namesake, the Norse Goddess of Fertility. Despite being heavily pregnant, she can do feats like sprinting and then jumping onto a moving train, and puts up a hell of a fight against Touma. However, it turns out that the girl is an innocent and her unborn baby is controlling her like a puppet to protect her mother, making for a very strange inversion of Mama Bear. | |

Fire Emblem: The women in the first half of Genealogy of the Holy War may qualify, if they get paired up; we never are given estimates of when most of their kids are born anyway. At least Lachesis is intended to be pregnant during The Battle of Belhalla. Louise in Blazing Blade. In her A Support with her husband, Lord Pent, she reveals to him that she's expecting her first baby; said baby is the older of her two children from Binding Blade, Klein. In Path of Radiance we are introduced to Ena, a young woman who is reunited with her betrothed at the end of the game, only for him to die in her arms. She then gives birth to his child at the end of Radiant Dawn, three years later. So this girl, who changes into a dragon, fought in two wars over four years, and was pregnant the entire time! While there are no explicit cases of this in Awakening, it's possible for a recruitable child's father to die the battle after reaching the necessary Relationship Values with the mother, leaving some easy assumptions to be made. |

Darla, the only vampire who ever got pregnant in Angel. She still had all of her extra vampire strength, leading to some violence when she went into labor... and all that extra hunger can rack up a huge kill count. Earlier on in Season 1 Cordelia gets demonically pregnant which boosts her strength as she effortlessly knocks out Wesley when he’s trying to get rid the hell spawn. Later in Season 4 poor Cordy gets demonically pregnant again and is very violent and villainous due to her child (Jasmine) controlling Cordelia’s actions. |

Faith is nine months along in the present day portion of Curfew. Motivated by getting her baby out of totalitarian England, she stops at nothing in an effort to win the race that will grant her and her baby passage to a safe place. She kills several people she deems a threat to the child including the baby's father, "The General" and lays a trap for other entrants in the race, taking out several of them. She goes into labor before she can finish and gives birth some distance from the finish line. However, she insists on going there anyway where she gives her baby to the winners to be taken to safety. | |

In Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, B.J's lover Anya from the previous game is now heavily pregnant with twins due to the Time Skip between the two games. This does not stop her from shooting or stabbing Nazis alongside her lover. There aren't many games where you get to see a heavily pregnant, shirtless, blood-soaked screaming woman with assault rifles akimbo unleash More Dakka against a giant fire-breathing Nazi robot dog. note Yes, you just read that. No, this isn't a joke. (NSFW due to Nipple and Dimed.) |

On MythBusters, Kari handled guns and grenades as usual throughout her pregnancy, along with all the other usual stuff of myth-busting. She was more safety-conscious and cautious about body armor and such while pregnant, and it turns out they actually make bulletproof vests for pregnant women. Who knew? | |

Alexia Tarabotti in Gail Carriger's The Parasol Protectorate series. Most notably she manages to fight with and then rescue an entire vampire hive from a mechanical octopus machine, deal with a freed pack of moon-crazy werewolves and manage to get control of the situation and protect everyone, all of this minutes before giving birth. | |

Galacta: Daughter of Galactus: Galacta currently qualifies, technically, although she isn't pregnant in the same way humans are. (It's similar, however.) When her hunger for life energy was increasing to the point that the temptation to consume the Earth became harder than ever to resist, she thought some evil parasite had infected her, and tried to steal the Ultimate Nullifier from her father's ship in an effort to purge it from her (even though the risk of destroying herself in the process was great). When Galactus stopped her from doing so, she found out that the "parasite" was actually a child she had conceived in the same method that he had conceived her. (She was, in effect, pregnant; the reason for her incredible hunger was simply, she had to eat for two.) | |

Naruto: Subverted, since Mama Bear Kushina Uzumaki restrained the Kyuubi after giving birth to Naruto. This is still impressive considering that this was hours after the birth. Zigzagged with Kurenai Yuhi. As her specialty is genjutsu, illusions which typically requires a minimum of physical effort, she'd likely only be partially hampered by being pregnant. But since it's Asuma's child, her long term on-again-off-again lover who just died in battle, she chooses to stay out of going on missions while carrying. Not to mention Shikamaru constantly looking out for her, as the last promise he made to his dying sensei. |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run: When Funny Valentine and his lackeys realize that Lucy Steel has become pregnant with the Head of the Holy Corpse through virginal conception, they attempt to keep her prisoner until it can be 'born'. Unfortunately they forgot that Corpse Parts grant Stands to anyone they choose as hosts, and Lucy uses her new Stand Ticket to Ride (which allows her to turn her tears into blades that create a nexus of intensifying bad luck wherever they touch human flesh) to kill Valentine's two main henchmen and finally manage to save herself without help from any other Stand user. Well, almost. Valentine recaptures her near the dock, and his mere presence causes the Saint's Corpse to start consuming her energy to reforge itself. | |

Mary Doria Russell, author of The Sparrow, is exceptionally fond of this trope. Pregnancy will make tough women even tougher (Sofia Mendes in The Sparrow, Ha'anala in Children of God, Mirella in A Thread of Grace). A standout example is Claudette/Claudia from A Thread of Grace. Gradual character development caused by being on the run from the Nazis turned her from a bratty teenager into a serious girl wise beyond her years. However, being married, knocked up and widowed all within a few days causes her to take several levels in badass. While pregnant, she's running dangerous missions for the Italian Resistance. By the last days of the war, she's mowing down ambushing Nazis with a machine gun. | |

When Mary Stuart Masterson hosted the show in 1992, she did a sketch called "Lisa Piongrasic, Very Pregnant Undercover Cop". She played the title role who was a hard-assed and pregnant police detective with Phil Hartman playing her superior and Chris Farley as her bumbling partner. The opening credits showed her with a baby bump climbing a chain-link fence, posing undercover as a prostitute, participating in a high-speed chase, throwing a bad guy over some garbage cans, and practicing self-defense training, getting hit head-on by a car, peeking out slowly from behind a wall on stakeout. The rest of the skit showed her and Farley trying to take down a drug dealer played by Dana Carvey doing a Scarface impression. | |

Kill Bill: The Bride, although she'd literally just found out she was pregnant (test still in hand). Also, she and her attacker decided to just walk away instead of fight. Otherwise an aversion, which led to the plot occurring. Also, Vernita Green was a villainous example. If you do the math, she would have been at least three months pregnant at the time of the Wedding Chapel massacre, due to the fact that the event took place four and a half years before the Bride confronted and killed her, and that her daughter Nikki was four at the time of Vernita's death. |

The Dresden Files: Charity Carpenter is first introduced in Grave Peril as Michael's very pregnant wife. She is later kidnapped by the baddie wanting to get back at Michael, while she isn't able to escape herself she is able to put a very impressive fight. Needless to say, her status as an Action Mom in later books didn't come as a surprise. In Skin Game, it's revealed Harry himself is pregnant with a spirit daughter as a result of Lash's sacrifice in White Night. This retroactively qualifies him, as you can't get much more badass than completely genociding the things that took your other child. |

Kirk soon learns that he's pregnant. He continues to serve on the starship, while he's pregnant, all the way until he goes into labor. Said labor only lasts three hours, and then six hours after he gives birth, Kirk returns to duty. | |

The Green Lantern Amnee almost defeats the baby-stealing villain Kryb in single combat while heavily pregnant. At one point, she uses her Green Lantern Ring to create a huge construct in the form of a newborn baby, complete with umbilical cord, and makes it beat Kryb up for her. The only reason Amnee didn't win? She was in labor whilst fighting Kryb, which distracted her sufficiently that Kryb held out until she could summon backup: four Mind Controlled Green Lanterns, one of them Amnee's husband, who overpowered Amnee. |

Kazumi Kato in The Order of the Stick #586, defending herself and her husband from a team of ninja assassins. This is also a quiet parody of the fact that there are no pregnancy rules in Dungeons & Dragons (there's really no need for them), so there's nothing stopping her from fighting at full capacity. Or more, if your campaign happens to have Mama Bear house rules. | |

The final episode of Misfits ends with Jess deciding to have the baby she saw herself with in the bad-future the gang have just averted. While it's unclear whether she actually manages to conceive (the series ends just a couple of hours after the encounter with the man who she believed to be the baby's father), she's shown drinking orange juice while the other four celebrate with cans of lager. The really "badass" part comes into effect, though, when Jess decides to rally her friends (who are initially reluctant) to join her in forming a superhero team that can make real use of their powers. They finally agree, just before the credits roll. | |

Exalted: Being that they are immensely powerful demigods, Exalts are capable of pulling this off. Exalted women often don't even show outward signs of pregnancy for much longer than normal, and even when they do, superhuman stamina, pain resistance, and dexterity means it fails to get in the way much. Tepet Ejava's mother Ellora pulled the "gave birth in the middle of battle" variant. | |

In Mad Max: Fury Road, at least two of the Wives are pregnant, especially Splendid who is over eight months into her pregnancy. However, this does nothing to hinder them from helping Furiosa and Max around the speeding War Rig, and Splendid even uses herself as a Human Shield to prevent Joe from shooting Furiosa. Sadly, it also results in her death when she can't regain her footing and falls from the War Rig, killing both her and the unborn child. | |

Equestria Girls: Friendship Souls: Cadance. She's a powerful Sternritter skilled enough to fight an Espada one on one, which is rare for Quincy. Granted, her pregnancy is still in the early stage, and the only reason she knows about it is that Sapphire used her powers on her. She's worried that she won't be able to do her duties once Shining finds out. We hadn't seen her figt, yet but just the fact she holds a high rank in military organization (both of them), it's safe to assume that Radiant Hope is pretty badass. She was strong enough to save herself or her unborn child. |

Heather Mason, the 17-year-old protagonist of Silent Hill 3 (and thus far the only female player character in the franchise) is revealed towards the end of the game to be pregnant with the reincarnation of the Silent Hill cult's God. It's unclear how far along she is, since it's a Mystical Pregnancy; one likely theory has it that she was actually born with the dormant fetus inside of her when Alessa creates her at the end of Silent Hill. Whatever the reason, though, that waif-like teenage girl who you've just helped through several hours of monster smashing is a legitimate example of this trope. | |

The Myth of Link & Zelda: Breath of the Wild, as its name implies, adapts the events and content of the game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and this includes Urbosa of the Champions. Unlike the game, she explicitly has a biological daughter. However, her daughter wasn't yet born when Urbosa was recruited as Champion. She was pregnant with her daughter during the re-creation of "Champion Urbosa's Song" in which she wipes the floor with two Yiga Clan members. She's still pregnant during the coronation of the Champions, meaning she gained mastery of Naboris while she was still pregnant. | |

In The Umbrella Academy (2019) Season 4, established badass Action Girl Lila gets pregnant with Diego's child (after sleeping with him in Dallas during the 1960s), but since she's only a few weeks pregnant at most, she's still capable of kicking plenty of ass. However, this trope does get subverted, as upon learning that his love interest has become his baby mama, Diego immediately tries to keep her safely out of the action as much as possible (even locking Lila in a closet at one point). Lila hates this, but she does admit that she's genuinely nervous about putting her unborn in child in danger herself — having never felt such vulnerability in her life before. | |

The Penny Dreadfuls Present The Brothers Faversham takes this to parody levels with the titular brothers' mother Lady Alexandra Faversham ("The British Empire's greatest, sexiest and most pregnant spy"). As each episode is a mini-biopic of successive members of the Badass Family, each one begins with the dramatic circumstances of their birth, usually while Lady Alexandra is right in the middle of one of her adventures, and often mid-battle (in one case actually using her newborn son to give her the numerical advantage in a fight). | |

In the Elemental Chess Trilogy, the pregnant Riza initially subverts the trope by submitting meekly to being placed under "protective custody" (read: house arrest) while her husband is on trial for high treason. When she finds out that he's being rescued from his wrongful execution and she herself has a chance to escape, she takes it and reaches the allied forces in time to help stop The Dragon from having her True Companions killed. The author admits to having made her pregnant just to be able to add it to the trope page. | |

The Sims: In The Sims 3, a heavily pregnant super-spy can raid the "secret" criminal base. Elsewhere in The Sims, female characters in nine out of the ten hero classes in The Sims Medieval can continue to carry out nearly all of their professional tasks and quest actions while pregnant, unless they're actually in labor (with a few heavy-duty exceptions like dueling). This means that you can have a heavily pregnant lady spy, blacksmith, wizard, etc. who not only get on with their day jobs as usual, but will bravely run into the underground cave system to fight the dragon right up until the moment her waters break. There is one heavy aversion, however: a female knight who's visibly pregnant not only cannot complete quest objectives, but is unable to do most of her daily professional tasks, even ones a female monarch (for example) at the equivalent stage of pregnancy could do. She's basically limited to eating, reading, sleeping, and bathing until she gives birth. The discrepancy is presumably due to a glitch, since there seems to be no sensible reason why the knight alone is barred from working while pregnant. |

Played straight then cruelly subverted in Berserk as Guts got Action Girl Casca pregnant when they made love for the first time (there’s no contraceptive in medieval times) so doing the math concludes that Casca was carrying for 43 chapters or a few weeks in In-Universe, in that time she was kicking plenty of ass and only felt ill towards the end of the Golden Age. The horrific and tragic subversion is that due to being raped by Griffith, Casca’s child was mutated in her womb by his demon seed thus Casca miscarried the baby and it become a Fetus Terrible that followed its parents around like a shadow. | |

In Broken, Elena's mate's and father-in-law's overprotectiveness drives her directly into adventure. And despite her newfound caution and her center of gravity being thrown off balance, she still manages to kick large amounts of ass. And then she learns she's the equivalent of nine months pregnant for her race and she's having twins. | |

Not quite as action-oriented as other examples, but in Stargate SG-1, Vala was pretty badass during her pregnancy. Even if you ignore the whole "left outside for several days while pregnant" thing, she later risked her life to warn Earth of the impending war and then insisted on traveling into said war with her husband. Granted, she was probably hoping to get back to Earth (which she did) but that's still pretty badass, especially for a heavily pregnant woman. | |

Tales of the Branion Realm: Averted a couple ways in The Stone Prince. Isolde DeKathrine is betrothed to the eponymous Prince, and unknowingly a couple weeks pregnant with his child, when she helps fight off an attack on the royal party (due to Gender Is No Object, she's a fully fledged knight and lord). Months later, after they're married, she is forbidden to come with her husband to war once it's discovered she's carrying the next heir to the throne. She is absolutely furious with him, even though he's her monarch by this point, and all their servants and guards are quite aware of it. | |

Kim Burgess from Chicago P.D. became pregnant during the show's seventh season. She was put on lighter duty as a result and ended up working as a 911 operator. She received one call about a domestic violence case and became personally involved. She got into a fierce fight with a sexual predator while trying to save the victim. Deconsructed, she succeeded in subduing him, but lost the baby. | |

Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal: If the player is romancing Aerie, she becomes pregnant early on in the expansion. Her stats aren't affected in the slightest, and this is around the level range where Aerie grows into one of the most powerful characters in the party. Character-wise, she Takes a Level in Badass in Throne of Bhaal anyway, so becoming pregnant is only incidental. It gets better: take long enough and she'll give birth, right near the end of your adventure (and likely smack dab in the middle of a dungeon). After taking a few moments of rest she patches herself up with a few healing spells, then jumps right back into the adventure like normal. Even better: her son is an inventory item. By that point in the game, you are invading dragon's lairs and hellish demiplanes, and she's charging in alongside you with an infant strapped into mommy's backpack. |

Star Trek: Kira Nerys in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Darkness and the Light" beats the shit out of a serial killer while the equivalent of nine months pregnant. In a Meta sense, in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Gates McFadden (Dr. Crusher) shot one of her best episodes ("Remember Me") while pregnant, including doing her own rather strenuous stunt (dangling from a wall-mounted chair and flailing as air was blasted at her, so it would look like she was being sucked into a vortex). Lt. B'Elanna Torres in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "The Killing Game" is a courier and spy for the French Resistance while (sort of) pregnant. (Her holodeck character is pregnant, with all the physical limitations.) Later in the series, Torres becomes pregnant for real and is determined not to let it affect her job, although she eventually has to accept certain limitations, such as not beaming down to an irradiated planet (she also ends up missing the final battle due to being actively in labor at the time). |

The Mrs. Hawking play series: Mrs. Hawking remarks that she continued her crimefighting while pregnant, only giving it up when she was "too damned fat" to maneuver anymore. In a deconstruction of the trope that crosses over with Surprisingly Realistic Outcome, she fears that doing such strenuous work while carrying a child might be, and indeed very likely is, the reason for her stillbirth— it could have been a bad fall, a blow from an opponent, or even just the stress she put her body through. | |

Invincible: Atom Eve gets pregnant (for the second time) with the titular hero Mark’s child but unfortunately she can’t use her nuclear Imagination-Based Superpower to kick ass since she risks damaging her baby as a side effect thus she refuses to use her power. It’s only when Invincible Villain Robot endangers her, Mark and their baby (as well as taking off her leg) that Eve uses her powers to fight Robot off. Thankfully the baby (Terra) is born safe and healthy afterwards. Dark example as Anissa rapes Mark in order to further the Viltrimite species and gets pregnant as intended, meaning everything she did as a Dark Action Girl before giving birth counts as this. This includes harassing a trauma-ridden and angry Mark. |

When she and Carol are later captured, they rescue themselves from their kidnappers and then proceed to kill every last one of them, including the reinforcements. She bluntly states that being pregnant isn't about to stop her from fighting to protect her friends and family, although she does agree to avoid direct conflicts from then on. | |

In the Superman fan fic Superman Starts family, Superman is a trans man who gets pregnant after being sexually assaulted by Lex Luthor. Superman looks through the rubble of a destroyed building for survivors and then battles Darkseid while twenty-seven weeks pregnant. What makes Superman extra ferocious when fighting Darkseid is that Darkseid had children as hostages. Twelve weeks later, Superman prevents a plane crash and then has to fight Toyman to prevent him from taking hostages. During that battle, Superman goes into labor. Superman keeps fighting Toyman despite being in labor, and manages to subdue Toyman before giving birth. |

The hyena mythology in Digger has a sharp deconstruction. When the male hyena god He-Is was corrupted into attacking his pregnant mate She-Is, the latter defeated him and was henceforth known as She-Is-Fiercer. However, the stress of being attacked and forced to fight so hard caused She-Is-Fiercer to miscarry. And this is why hyena females are stronger and fiercer than males, but first pregnancies have a high risk of miscarriage. | |

Nala in The Lion King (1994). It is gently implied that her and Simba's cub was conceived in the "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" sequence, meaning Nala was pregnant when she was beating up hyenas in the final battle. | |

In The Wheel of Time, the nine-months-pregnant Shaiel, a Maiden of the Spear (woman warrior), walked with a massive army hundreds of miles to a foreign land to hunt down a king, climbed a mountain to fight the decisive battle, and then gave birth in the middle of that battle to The Hero. Also Elayne, and very possibly Aviendha, in later books. | |

Mina from She Shoots Straight, a policewoman who discovers she's pregnant... days after her husband's death. She then goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge while carrying her baby, killing the entire gang of gunrunners responsible for killing her husband. The Dragon of the gunrunners (an Amazonian Beauty herself) took advantage of Mina's weakness in the final fight by kicking her stomach, but Mina still wins by way of Breast Attack. | |

In Wakfu, it is not outright stated but heavily suggested that Evangelyne is one at the end of Season 2. The manga confirms it, though when the action picks up again in the OVAs she's already had her kids. Comes back in force in Season 3, however, where she's in late-stage pregnancy and still capable of handing a demigod her ass in direct combat plus helping her husband against another one. The only reason she struggles with said demigod in the rematch is because she's literally about to give birth. | |

In X-Force, Wolfsbane. She was already a pregnant mutant werewolf, which would be badass enough in its own right, but the strain of the pregnancy was killing her until Elixir altered her DNA to be more like her unborn baby's, resulting in super strength, bulletproof (at least) skin, and a significant enough upgrade to her already heightened senses that they're now more acute than Wolverine or X-23's. And why did Elixir have to do this? The father of her child is an Asgardian wolf-god. | |

The Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War manga adaptation by Mitsuki Oosawa has several cases of this: As a part of her Adaptational Badass makeover of sorts, Deirdre takes the trope. The infamous "let's bring King Clement down to normal with a Silence staff so his Mackily castle can be taken without spilling any blood" gig happened when she was in the first stages of her pregnancy with Seliph. There is also Ira and Adean giving birth during the Silessa arc. Adean only has her eldest son Lester (with Jamke, in this continuity), while Ira has twins (Ulster and Larcei, with Lex). The same arc also has Ethlyn pregnant with her second child Leif, but she doesn't give birth until few later. Similarly, another chapter reveals that few months after this Princess Raquesis is pregnant with her eldest son Delmud (Finn's child, in this particular media). |

Metal Gear Solid: The Boss, toward the end of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, explains a lot of her Backstory to her prized pupil Naked Snake. The woman was pregnant when she and her compatriots participated in D-Day during World War II. More than pregnant — she gave birth by self-performing a Caesarean section while Storming the Beaches at Normandy. Pregnant Badass taken to extremes, perhaps. Olga Gurlukovich, from Metal Gear Solid 2, also qualifies. It turns out that she was pregnant with her daughter Sunny during the Tanker Chapter that serves as the game's prologue. Surprisingly, being on the receiving end of Snake's tranquilizer pistol appears to have no adverse effects on Sunny's development. |

Final Fantasy: If you apply some thought to the gap between Final Fantasy IV and its sequel (and remember an early scene between her and Dark Knight Cecil), Rosa is implied to be one during most of the former, being that she manages to be 19 in the original game and 36 in the sequel with a 17-year-old kid. Perhaps unfortunately, though, the latest Updated Re-release of IV and TAY retcons the kid's age to 15, thus removing the primary evidence for Rosa being a Pregnant Badass. Fandom disagrees over whether to accept this retcon, as some people find the idea of Rosa beating up Zeromus while pregnant just too good to give up. Even if the retcon is accepted, Rosa is playable in the interlude that takes place between the two games, where she later states that she is pregnant. Even if the retcon is accepted, Sheila (Yang's wife) was likely already pregnant with Ursula when she was beating up mooks with her frying pan. |

Helena on Orphan Black: She escapes from a military prison... twice! Then she camps out in the wilderness for weeks or months, hunting her own food and building a shelter from the hides. She also engages in hand-to-hand combat with Rudy, and defeats him, and rescues Alison from Neolutionists... with a crossbow! She even manages to kill somebody while in labour. Partly deconstructed, in that she got stabbed in the womb during a fight, and most likely would have lost at least one of the twins if they hadn't turned out to have a supernatural Healing Factor. She tries to spend the rest of her pregnancy writing a book in a nunnery, after that. |

The Last of Us Part II: Mel and Dina don't let pregnancy slow them down. On one hand there's a certain brutal pragmatism to pregnant women fighting - it's the Zombie Apocalypse and everyone is a target, so everyone fights. On the other hand especially in Mel's case this almost stretches incredulity, as she volunteers to fight as a frontline soldier even though she clearly has a huge baby bulge and is a trained doctor (i.e a very valuable individual in what passes for post-apocalyptic society) and her friends all urge to stay in safety. This costs Mel her life when Ellie is forced to stab her to death in self-defence, and Ellie nearly has a sanity-shattering breakdown then and there. | |

Saturday Night Live: When Mary Stuart Masterson hosted the show in 1992, she did a sketch called "Lisa Piongrasic, Very Pregnant Undercover Cop". She played the title role who was a hard-assed and pregnant police detective with Phil Hartman playing her superior and Chris Farley as her bumbling partner. The opening credits showed her with a baby bump climbing a chain-link fence, posing undercover as a prostitute, participating in a high-speed chase, throwing a bad guy over some garbage cans, and practicing self-defense training, getting hit head-on by a car, peeking out slowly from behind a wall on stakeout. The rest of the skit showed her and Farley trying to take down a drug dealer played by Dana Carvey doing a Scarface impression. Also, Amy Poehler doing a Piss-Take Rap about Sarah Palin (while the latter was present) on a Weekend Update sketch. |

Liara from Loyal Enemies is pregnant with her second child and an asskicking battle mage. Her husband tries to make her stay at home at least until the child is born but she insists on fighting, and the fact that she's expecting doesn't slow her down in the slightest. Deconstructed when she dies in the final battle, buried under the ruined wall. The child, obviously, dies with her, and her grieving husband promises to himself that his living daughter will not become a mage under any circumstances. | |

Marge Gunderson in Fargo is a police officer investigating a kidnapping. She is seven months pregnant and realistically slower than usual, but brave and tough enough to face dangerous criminals. Arguably the Trope Codifier in modern Western media and certainly one of the most famous examples. | |

The Boss, toward the end of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, explains a lot of her Backstory to her prized pupil Naked Snake. The woman was pregnant when she and her compatriots participated in D-Day during World War II. More than pregnant — she gave birth by self-performing a Caesarean section while Storming the Beaches at Normandy. Pregnant Badass taken to extremes, perhaps. | |

Averted for the most part in Son of the Sannin. No less that five different women give birth over the course of the series, and while all of them go on to be full blown Action Moms, none of them take part in battle while pregnant. The closest the series gets to playing this straight is Shizune, who spent the Sound Invasion at the hospital, having been put in charge of dealing with the casualties while Tsunade went to face her ressurected grandfather.note She might have been in the very early stages of pregnancy with her second child while she was assisting the rebels during the Kirigakure Civil War (in fact, it's entirely possible that she got pregnant during the mission since her husband was with her), but she definitely didn't know it at the time if she was. | |

Musuko ga Kawaikute Shikataganai Mazoku no Hahaoya: Despite her power and being the most prominent demon mother in the story, Lorem is not an example as her time while pregnant was peaceful and she never saw any action. Instead, the pregnant badass of the story is the Gothic Lolita Blood Knight, Nightmare. She can fight the final arc's Big Bad Crown on relatively even footing and, as she does so, Crown notices that she's very clearly taking care to not let her stomach be hit. He confirms she's pregnant by attacking her in such a way that she willingly takes a blow to the face over her stomach. When Crown calls her out on fighting in her condition, her response is to say the fight would be boring without a handicap and fake complications to trick Crown into a bad position. | |

Drowtales: Oiloss'lin Xyrrai'zestu Sharen, a cameo character, is three months pregnant according to the concept art. When she shows up in the story she has a Big Damn Heroes moment and saves her daughter from being captured. Zala'ess Vel'Sharen also unflinchingly stares down (or more accurately up) Quain'tana, who has been called The Big Bad Wolf in universe, while being visibly pregnant. Only it turns out she actually wasn't, and was actually exploiting this trope in-universe, as drow value motherhood immensely and it's implied she did this to throw off Quain, who is actually infertile and is rather sore about this fact. |

Ayla of Chrono Trigger is a Boisterous Bruiser cavewoman who clobbers a world-ending Eldritch Abomination with her bare hands. And depending on how you read some of her lines, she does all this while dealing with morning sickness. Or a hangover. Hopefully not both. The ending adds evidence to this; when Marle (Kino and Ayla's direct descendant) tells him to have strong kids, Kino remarks "Don't worry, Ayla strong! Ayla have MUCH energy!", and Ayla drags him away before he can say any more, heavily implying they've done the deed many times. While this isn't confirmation in itself, no contraception existed back then... |

Doctor Who: Amy Pond on two occasions: While it was an alternate timeline, in "Amy's Choice", she definitely counts. She was toward the end of her pregnancy, describing herself as "a boat". Despite this, she's able to keep both the Doctor and Rory at bay, and was mowing down aliens left and right. The next series, the trope gets zigzagged to hell and gone. Amy is pregnant, then not pregnant, then the TARDIS can't tell if she's pregnant, then she turns out to be a duplicate, while the real Amy is kept in a coma while pregnant, somewhere out of the Doctor's reach. And the baby? She turns out to be River Song. |

Star Wars Rebels: Hera Syndulla is revealed in the Distant Finale to have been pregnant with the son of Kanan Jarrus for the second half of season 4 (and likely a bit before then). During this time she led an aerial attack on an Imperial factory, survived an X-wing crash, engaged in hand-to-hand combat with a trained assassin, was captured and tortured, lost the love of her life, and participated in the liberation of Lothal. Depending on the timeline, it is also highly likely she was heavily pregnant (or had at least recently given birth) during the Battle of Scarif. Hardcore, indeed. | |

In World Neverland, being pregnant doesn't slow female characters down in any way. They can still take on dungeons and fight monsters. If a female Knight, Scholar, or Mountain Corps member is pregnant during the game's White Night Tournament, she's even capable of becoming the Dragoon—the most powerful warrior in the kingdom—while pregnant! | |

Played with in Death Stranding. Sam is connected to a pod that has a living, seven month old human fetus inside, that he carries on his chest. He's connected to it by a cable that visually looks like an umbilical cord. The pod is connected to a scanner on his back that allows him to see the ghosts of the undead that roam the Earth. Sam traverses the ravaged United States with his mission of delivering life-saving cargo and connecting everyone to the Chiral Network, battling BTs, MULEs and Homo Demens, all while having the pod strapped to his chest. With that being said, the trope is played with because Sam isn't actually pregnant. He can unplug the cord at any moment with no ill effects to himself or the baby in it. Nevertheless, the visual metaphor is clearly there. | |

In the Buffy the Vampire Slayer fic, Ready Buffy is still patrolling while pregnant (helps that she's not that far along). If anything, the pregnancy is helping her slay better due to Mama Bear tendencies. It ties into one of the main sources of conflict in the fic; Riley, the baby's father, wants Buffy to stop slaying period, which she can't do. Giles also tells Buffy about Nikki Wood, who killed a vampire whilst pregnant and without her powers simply because she didn't want it to hurt her unborn child. |

Teyla in Stargate Atlantis. In one episode, the bad guy made a comment about Lorne's men letting her doing the interrogation; she responded by tapping the guy's shoulders with the log she used to knock him out earlier, then threatening to frame him to the villagers as a Wraith worshipper. And that's after Sheppard took her off active duty when she confessed that she's pregnant. A Wraith Queen tried to attack her baby in utero and she used her psychic powers to fend her off with unprecedented strength. Her powers are genetic, and she could resonate with her son, giving her access to double the psychic powers she previously had for the duration of her pregnancy. Similar to the above Farscape quote, Teyla has to tell Ronon "I'm pregnant, not ill" when he suggests that she shouldn't be exercising. |

The female player character in many Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games isn't slowed down whatsoever by being pregnant, and is capable of doing everything from devastatingly exhausting farm work to riding horses to mining with no ill effects. Some of the things the different husbands say during their pregnancy even lampshades this, to the effect of "If working hard on the farm like this doesn't make you sick, nothing will." | |

In Skin Game, it's revealed Harry himself is pregnant with a spirit daughter as a result of Lash's sacrifice in White Night. This retroactively qualifies him, as you can't get much more badass than completely genociding the things that took your other child. | |

Star Wars Legends: In general, any Force-Sensitive woman from a species that gestates their offspring internally can be expected to become even more powerful when pregnant because Force-Sensitivity is hereditary, allowing the mother to directly call on the baby's power to enhance her own. Mara Jade in the New Jedi Order books, compounded by her also having a debilitating disease for part of the series yet still managing to kick massive amounts of ass. The Thrawn Trilogy: Leia Organa Solo, pregnant with twins, being accepted as the Mal'ary'ush by the Nohgri and showing them how the Empire has only contributed to their problems. When she's pregnant with her third child in Dark Empire, she shows herself capable of matching Luke in a lightsaber duel. |

The Bridge at one point has Princess Cadence fighting a resurrected King Sombra alongside Xenilla and doing her equal share of damage. Several chapters later, it's discovered that she's pregnant, and judging by how far along she is, this was the case during this fight. | |

In The Walking Dead: The Game, Christa is predicted to be around 2–5 months pregnant, and she is amazingly skilled when it comes to zombie fighting (and possibly jumping on trains, depending on who you help onto Chuck's train). Season two confirms her pregnancy, showing her with a more visible bump, and proves that she hasn't lost any edge when she kills the girl who shot Omid in a moment of panic when he walked in on her trying to rob Clementine. Sadly, after the time skip, she's shown without her baby, leaving the players to only theorise on what exactly has happened. Season two also introduces Rebecca, who is in her last trimester from the start of the game. While she doesn't get to fight many walkers or humans, she is more than capable of protecting herself and of keeping up with the rest of her group. She also takes an active part in the group's escape from Howe's. She's also very strong-willed and doesn't let anyone mess with her or her family. |

Lt. B'Elanna Torres in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "The Killing Game" is a courier and spy for the French Resistance while (sort of) pregnant. (Her holodeck character is pregnant, with all the physical limitations.) Later in the series, Torres becomes pregnant for real and is determined not to let it affect her job, although she eventually has to accept certain limitations, such as not beaming down to an irradiated planet (she also ends up missing the final battle due to being actively in labor at the time). | |

The final episode of The Mentalist ends with Lisbon and Jane's wedding, immediately after which Lisbon reveals that she's pregnant. Which makes the fact that she helped take down a serial killer while wearing her wedding dress earlier the same day all the more awesome. It's very very subtly hinted she's known about the pregnancy for a few episodes before letting on in the finale, so basically everything she does in the final half-dozen or so episodes of the show count towards this trope in hindsight, as well. |

Elsewhere in The Sims, female characters in nine out of the ten hero classes in The Sims Medieval can continue to carry out nearly all of their professional tasks and quest actions while pregnant, unless they're actually in labor (with a few heavy-duty exceptions like dueling). This means that you can have a heavily pregnant lady spy, blacksmith, wizard, etc. who not only get on with their day jobs as usual, but will bravely run into the underground cave system to fight the dragon right up until the moment her waters break. There is one heavy aversion, however: a female knight who's visibly pregnant not only cannot complete quest objectives, but is unable to do most of her daily professional tasks, even ones a female monarch (for example) at the equivalent stage of pregnancy could do. She's basically limited to eating, reading, sleeping, and bathing until she gives birth. The discrepancy is presumably due to a glitch, since there seems to be no sensible reason why the knight alone is barred from working while pregnant. | |

The Metroid AU fic, Destiny Interrupted: Days of Change revolves Samus Aran's pregnancy after the BOTTLESHIP incident. At first, Samus's pregnancy didn't affect her mission in Bryyo, until a few months that she is forced to withdraw from her mission. In the near end of the story, Samus and Adam quickly escaped and survived an assassination attempt and fled to Aether, where she gave birth to her child with Adam, Alexander. | |

Piper from Charmed (1998). She was made more dangerous because her unborn son protected her with a force field. Well, when it wasn't turning her explosions into bursts of flowers, or switching her powers with Leo's. Unfortunately, her second pregnancy is just the opposite and leaves Piper essentially bed-ridden (because Piper's actress was actually pregnant.) | |

Spider-Woman: Jessica Drew manages to take down a room full of Skrulls in the the galactic maternity ward after they invade and she is taken as a Pregnant Hostage. This leads to what may be the most grueling and difficult situation in her career. Her water breaks about halfway through the fight, she is given a a C-section while the invaders try to break into the operating room, tells the doctors not to use any anesthesia (because she intends to fight the Skrulls once they breach the door) and is still able to beat them up after giving birth. (She collapses from exhaustion and pain immediately after.) The newborn boy is safe. | |

In a Meta sense, in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Gates McFadden (Dr. Crusher) shot one of her best episodes ("Remember Me") while pregnant, including doing her own rather strenuous stunt (dangling from a wall-mounted chair and flailing as air was blasted at her, so it would look like she was being sucked into a vortex). | |
