Is Trixie on Call the Midwife pregnant in season 11?
Helen George has addressed comments made about her baby bump on Call the Midwife. The actress plays Nurse Trixie on the BBC drama, and was pregnant during filming of the currently airing 11th season, with ingenious filming used to hide the bump.
Though the show disguised the star's pregnancy for her appearances in the first half of the season, the star stepped away for maternity leave to welcome her daughter, Lark, in November 2021—her second child with fellow Call the Midwife alum Jack Ashton, who played Trixie's one-time fiancée Reverend Tom Hereward.
Call the Midwife's Trixie Franklin left halfway through series 11, due to actress Helen George's pregnancy. But you can rest assured that she is returning for some big storylines in series 12, which is currently filming now. Speaking to Radio Times, the show's creator Heidi Thomas said: "Trixie rejoins us.
In November 2021, Helen gave birth to their second daughter, Lark, which meant the actress was pregnant while filming the latest series of Call The Midwife, while her character, Trixie, is not expecting a baby.
In the series, Trixie was seen travelling to Italy to care for her godmother. The star's pregnancy was not written into the show, so using some clever camera trickery and props, Helen was able to conceal her growing baby bump.

At the end of this past episode, Trixie made the decision to depart for the time being to care for a loved one in need. This is a decision that will write her out for the immediate future, but it has nothing to do with the BBC / PBS series deciding that they are done with the character.
