Hidden First Pregnancy
Montgomery had three children throughout the course of the show, but only two of the pregnancies were written into the storyline. She was actually pregnant during season one, but the show was able to hide it. They chose to hide it because at the time it seemed inappropriate that Sam and Darrin would be expecting so soon after getting married.
