* ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'': Victor Steiner-Davion and Omi Kurita had a relationship in the 3050s and early 3060s. However, it wasn't the autopsy conducted after her assassination in 3064 that it was revealed (to Victor, to Omi's father Theodore Kurita, and even to the Draconis Combine's StateSec) that at some point she had become pregnant with Victor's child. Said child, Kitsune Kurita, would eventually appear several decades in the future when he was awarded knighthood in the Republic of the Sphere but rejected receiving it from the [=RotS's=] leader, Devlin Stone, instead asking that his father be the one to award it to him.

* Meghan has recently learnt she's pregnant at the beginning of ''Literature/AllDressedInWhite'', but on the same day she intends to tell Jeff, he reveals he agreed to participate in ''[[TrueCrime Under Suspicion]]''. Meghan doesn't want her pregnancy to be overshadowed by the re-investigation into Amanda's disappearance - for which Jeff (Amanda's then-fiance) is the top suspect - so she decides to hold off on telling him or anyone else until filming is finished. [[spoiler:This [[DeconstructedTrope causes problems]] later when Meghan calls Amanda's estate lawyer about the legal process of Jeff inheriting her trust fund, as they would need the money to buy a larger home and make other plans for the baby. Because no one knows Meghan is pregnant and she had the extreme bad luck to have called the lawyer ''the same day'' Amanda's body is [[FinallyFoundTheBody finally found]], she ends up [[NotWhatItLooksLike looking incredibly guilty]], with even Jeff questioning their relationship and demanding an explanation. Meghan is so distraught (exacerbated by pregnancy hormones) she refuses to give Jeff a straight answer until he calms down. Jeff figures out what's really going on after learning his wife is pregnant from her emails, which partly helps to clear her name]].

* ''Fanfic/CellarSecrets'' has Aikurou's theory about [[spoiler:Ryuuko]] involving this and it's further implied in chapter 16 when Satsuki and Nui find evidence that supports that, along with fact that their little sister might not have been born during happy times, Nui even asking, "I wonder, did [[spoiler: Ryuuko]] remind the Mistress of something she wanted to forget?" We actually find out why Ragyo kept her third pregnancy secret and, well, the reasons were [[spoiler: because of her erratic behavior and her refusal to seek help, Souichiro was planning on leaving her and taking their daughters with him, thus if she had a child within that time, she probably would have lost custody]] She wasn't very keen on letting that happen.

* During the reign of Louis XV of France, a young woman who gave birth to his stillborn child was charged with infanticide because she had hidden the pregnancy. Remember that as this was a classical European monarchy, and France, she was unlikely to have been stigmatized for this. The King's [[TheMistress mistress]], Madame du Barry, [[PleaseSpareHimMyLiege pleaded with the King to spare the girl's life]]; her request solidified his love for her because it was the first time she had ever asked him for anything, and it was for someone else. Later on she asked him for quite a bit for herself, to put it mildly.
