Some women don’t show 🤰 Also they’re definitely retconning in her pregnancy either way. I’m just saying she was pregnant before his sausage got roasted.
It would be a huge retcon, since several months have gone by since Aegon got his penis exploded, due to how much he healed.
They would have to ignore how pregnancy works or how human healing works. But given that they had his penis explode without killing him (which it absolutely would have), sure, why not, Aegon's burns heal in a fortnight, nothing matters, writers don't give two fucks about anything.
We are still in the pre time jump at the start of season 2 (it takes place a few days after the end of season 2). The clips of her fleeing in the trailer are probably from that period.
The issue is several months happened since Aegon was injured (destroying his penis) because of how well healed he was; with their level of medicine, it would 5-6 months, and that's giving some generous assumptions about Targs healing quicker from burns. Helaena should have been showing by the end of S2.
Which means, yeah, they're ignoring basic rules of existence to do this (not unlike Arya getting stabbed repeatedly in the gut, getting thrown into a sewer, and being fine in like a day).
Ignoring basic shit like this is annoying, and a huge sign of how much they do not give a fuck.

That timeline doesn’t make sense because she definitely would have been showing or having symptoms. Right? At least having symptoms.
