Ep 220: Trope Talk- Pregnancy Tropes
In this episode of Buzzing About Romance, Rachel is back and joins Becky to discuss all things related to pregnancy in romance. We’re diving deep into one of the most popular and sometimes controversial tropes in romance—pregnancy tropes! Whether it’s the surprise pregnancy, secret baby, accidental pregnancy, baby on the doorstep, or even a bit of a steamy twist with breeding kink, there’s no denying that these storylines pack an emotional punch. Today, we’ll explore what makes these tropes so captivating, why readers either love or hate them, and share some of our favorite books that handle this trope with flair.
Tropes Covered this Episode:
- Surprise/Unexpected Pregnancy – the result of one-night stand or friends with benefits
- Accidental Pregnancy- In a relationship, pregnancy happens- (middle/end of book)
- Secret baby/Child – Typically a second chance romance. For some reason, the Hero does not know about the child until something unexpectedly brings them back together. Not always is the heroine the mother of the Child.
- Baby on the doorstep – The Baby is left to the hero, and the mother, for whatever reason, is not in the picture.
- Breeding Kink
