I thought that speculation was very silly. It was in response to her being "sick" and as several people pointed out, fever and sniffles are not symptoms of pregnancy even on TV. You might as well say she's pregnant because she's got curlers in her hair for how much one is tied to the other.

That said, I think Martha being pregnant would be an absolute terrible way to go that would annoy me to no end.

I will join your club of annoyance. Please let the fine writers on this show not go somewhere that cliched.
