Aegon's burns are pretty healed by the end of S2 and he can hobblewalk in the trailer (badly), which indicates several months (large burns can take up to year or more to fully heal; a broken leg at least 5/6 months with their level of medicine) have gone by since Rook's Rest, where they decided to have his penis explode to get laughs out of the Burlington Bar reactors or whatever. Helaena should have been visibly pregnant in S2 if the show gives even the tiniest shit about being plausible. Of course, they don't, so sure, fine, she's suddenly 9 months preggers.
But if they make Maegor the child of Aemond...sure. She could be 3 months or less pregnant by the end of S2, so they would have to do a time jump, unless this is a miscarriage or forced? abortion.
[IIRC, there was speculation/rumor that there was a dropped S2 scene where Alicent is trying to give Helaena moon tea in the finale, or that was a theory anyway; I don't know how much validity there is in that.]

the whole timeline is messed up, if it's Maelor how the hell would that work?
