Mothers-to-be on How I Met Your Mother

So much for Not a Father’s Day … it seems that the set of How I Met Your Mother may be one of the most fertile places in La La Land.

Both Alyson Hannigan and Cobie Smulders recently announced they are expecting, so series co-creator Craig Thomas offered this public service announcement in a recent TV Guide article:

If you’re trying to start a family, please come visit the set of How I Met Your Mother. Just come by and hang out for a day or two. We can’t legally guarantee anything, but by the time you leave, you will almost certainly be pregnant.

Which leads us to the question - did the November 10th episode “Not a Father’s Day” set the framework for an Aldrin-Eriksen bundle of joy? It is quite possible that Hannigan’s pregnancy will be written into the show, but my guess is that we probably won’t see a baby Robin Sparkles anytime soon.

What are your thoughts? Would you want a baby on How I Met Your Mother? Do you think it would drastically change the dynamics of the show?

I’m still undecided. It worked on Friends, but it was more than 4 seasons in, and the quirky circumstances around Ross and Rachel’s baby made for a good storyline.
