Why Is There No Pregnant Barbie?
The pink sets of Barbie movies incorporated the sheer amount of Barbies and Kens onscreen. The storyline included controversial and discontinued Barbies as well. But it was limited to the ‘successful’ Barbies with a perfect physique, as stated by several critics.
Barbie Collectors-turned-critics were not happy with the pregnant Barbie’s appearance on only a fringe of scenes in the movie. The perfect Barbie was surrounded by Doctor Barbie, Writer Barbie, but not with her supposed best friend, the Pregnant Barbie.
The reason for including too much screen time for the pregnant Barbie must have been that the Barbie was discontinued because of ‘how weird she looked’ and hence, to not disappoint the viewers, the filmmakers might have taken on this difficult decision.
However, we do see the Pregnant Barbie cradling her belly at the end, in the hope that she’d be more included in the time to come.

The Story Of The Pregnant Barbie: Midge
Midge has a sad, SAD story. The Barbie now only exists in the unofficial discontinued Barbie Hall of Fame.
Midge was introduced to the Barbieland in 1963 as the only pregnant Barbie to be ever made in Barbie History. She was Barbie’s best friend. The belly of Midge was a magnet that could be removed and kids did remove it, only to find a small baby inside Midge.
However, Midge was discontinued in 1967 and although like Allan, who is known as the ‘Sugar Daddy Ken’, Midge enjoyed several resurrections in the 80s and 90s, it was all in vain and the pregnant Barbie Midge was sold in 2002, coming to an abrupt end.
