Yes, this. partially because of what you said about the limitations of a pregnant character, partly because they treat pregnancy so horribly and the woman's reaction is almost always the same, and also because I am afraid that the baby will subsume the mother's storyline. It's all a bundle of concerns that, too often, are shown to be valid. I do feel like the babies subsume the mom's storyline- especially in the case of Amy Pond, where it was almost like the whole point of the character was to pop out River. Which, gross. What a waste of Amy Pond.
