She was pregnant around the same time that the L.A. episodes were shot ("The Trip", pts. I & II -- just shown in syndo)...notice how Elaine isn't in these episodes. Plus, during several of the following episodes -- which deal with the NBC pilot George & Jerry start on ("The Pitch", "The Ticket", "The Wallet", etc...) -- Elaine was in "Europe" with Crazy Joe DeVola's doctor, and they only showed her from mid-waist up, backshots only, so viewers wouldn't see her enlarged tummy.

That was about 1993 or so, thus the 3-year-old son.

YANGETY!!

She was pregnant during the third and fourth seasons. She wore very baggy blazers and stuff. I thought that too when I read that she had a 3 year old son, but I went back in my tapes and found some epsiodes where Elaine was kinda chubby. But she hid it well! --Tracy

it up by having her wear jackets and carry trays and have pillows on her lap when she was sitting on the couch. Some of the episodes it's pretty obvious. J-9

It was near the end of the third season, before "The Trip." They sent Elaine "on vacation" for a few episodes at the beginning of season 4 while she was having the baby. (They were just re-run in NY in syndication, which is the only reason I even remember this.)

If I remeber right, she had the kid during the offseason. She was prego on a few eps. Those were right around the time Kramer snuck off to LA after the "Keys Incident". If you notice, she wasn't in a few episodes then and when she was, tehy had a pillow on her lap. I think they also hid her by sending her to Europe with that shrink. The first episode when she came back from the trip was her first show back. If I remember right, Jerry opens his door and Elaine pops in with her hands over her head (ala victory) and Jerry & George gives her a big hug and the audience gives her a big ovation. Feel free to contradict me if I'm wrong.
