Spoiler:I knew that. There was mention of it last fall, and she had her baby in early December, so they pretty much had to write around her pregnancy or write it into the storyline.

Spoiler:Not as many as we think... they have tricks - both Gates McFadden and Roxanne Dawson (Dr. Crusher, Lt. B'Elanna Torres) were preggers and they used wardrobe and camera angles to hide the pregnancy (and hey, AT was pregnant) - hilariously enough they later had the character B'Elanna Torres get pregnant and had to put a prosthetic on Dawson.

I think Sam definitely would have been more emotional about it. Not crying at work or anything but it would have affected her. She'd try to be brave and put up a front about it but I don't think she would bf up until she felt it was serious between Jack and 'X'.
She wouldn't do it to get him jealous either, Sam's never been that person. She'd do it in recognition (in her mind) of moving on.
I can also see some of the same lines used in their 'ring' conversation reversed and not actually being the carefree/funny banter they made it originally.
Just MHO

Yes, it has permeated mine as well. Every time I hear "Shanahan" I can only think of Pete and I have an immediate cringe. :: headdesk ::

and I quote..

Col. O'Neill: Oh, Carter, I don't even remember your earlier behavior.
Capt. Carter: You don't?
Col. O'Neill: No, I was infected too, remember?
Capt. Carter: [relieved] Right! Good, I'm—I'm glad.
Col. O'Neill: By the way, how's the wound?
Capt. Carter: Wound?
Col. O'Neill: I understand you got stabbed in the stomach?
Capt. Carter: Oh, yeah, that—that was nothing. With any luck, there won't even be a scar.
Col. O'Neill: Well, good. I was concerned.
Capt. Carter: You were?
Col. O'Neill: Sure. [smiles] If it doesn't heal properly, you'll never wear that sweet little tank top number again.
[She stops in her tracks at that, and he keeps on walking.]
...he remembered so therefore he knew what happened.
I know he told Sam he didn't remember, but I'd bet he did. He was trying to give her an 'out' of an embarrassing situation.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! <g>

Seriously.
Think about it.
Last half-season I actually said to hubs, "What this show needs is a good pregnancy. Did wonders for the other series." And I don't read spoilers so I had no idea. And look what happened!

In other words, the Jack I believe we see onscreen would *never* have done that - IMHO - without a whole lot of changes to his character which would make his and Sam's relationship wildly different and thus I can't begin to guess what Sam would have done in that 'AU' because she'd be a different person, too.
EDIT: In general though, given I think the whole reason Sam attempted to move on with Pete was because she doubted Jack still loved her or at least wanted a relationship with her beyond the professional, I think she would likely have gotten a boyfriend as we saw her do with Pete. However, what I can't imagine is the loyal and essentially monogamous Jack I believe I saw on screen doing that himself. And it's that Jack Sam loved.

As a huge fan of angst I'd probably have Sam sacrificing herself Spock-like and Jack carrying around her dead body wailing and looking ansgt ridden as he defies direct orders from the president to hunt high and low for a sarcophagus deep in dangerous enemy territory to revive.
Of course being The Hero and having his awesome team of boys backing him up, he'd succeed, but only to be fatally wounded as he lowers her into the sacophagus... which then takes a hit and is damaged just as she is climbing out to find Jack, bleeding and dying at its feet...
You still want to hire me?

This show has truly penetrated my subconscious I tell you.Spoiler:I popped over to Ancestry.com today to play for a bit during a REALLY BORING PART OF THE LECTURE. While there I traced a great X-a zillion grandfather who fought in the Revolutionary War in...wait for it..."Carter Company."
My first thought? "Oh, awesome!"
Yes. I am sad.
Um...
'Cause, you know.
