WCTH’s Erin Krakow Jokes About Baby Bump In Sweet New Photo

When Calls the Heart (WCTH) star Erin Krakow (Elizabeth Thornton) revealed that she expects a baby, and that news arrived in late November. This week, she shared a sweet post and joked about her pregnancy. Read on to find out more.

Pregnancy Announcement In November

Erin’s baby is expected in 2026, but nobody’s too sure of the due date. But, since the WCTH star showed off her big baby bump a few minths ago, it can’t be far off now.

Obviously, she and her husband, Ben Rosenbaum, are excited, and for sure, Hallmark fans are also waiting for the baby’s arrival. After all, as Elizabeth seems so sweet, everyone roots for her. 

Joking About Pregnancy

On Wednesday night, Erin Krakow took to her Instagram and shared a photo of herself holding her bump and wearing headphones. Maybe she was recording something for the show.

In the caption, she quipped, “Do these headphones make me look pregnant?”

Fans & Followers React In The Comments

Plenty of people loved the joke and the photo of the real-life Elizabeth Thornton. One When Calls the Heart fan said, “Why yes, yes they do make you look pregnant. You’re beautiful! I’m so excited for you!”

Here are a few more responses from the discussion area:

• You look wonderful. Working mom strong.
• Awww, you are looking more beautiful than ever with your adorable baby bump, Erin! Not long now!! So excited for you & @ben_rosenbaum.
• You are glowing you look so happy. So well deserved!
• Yes they definitely do. you look so beautiful and glowing
• Literally carrying heaven on earth. Love love love it!

Baby In WCTH?

There was some hope that Erin Krakow’s baby would feature in the Hallmark show. However, that hasn’t been confirmed and seems extremely unlikely. Remember, she and Nathan (Kevin McGarry) really only just started their life together, so a storyline of her being ready to pop doesn’t really fit.

According to Parade last week, the filming might not have been easy, but the pregnancy of Erin won’t be filmed. The outlet noted, “By the time we get the latter episodes of Season 13, we’ll likely see Krakow standing behind her school desk and podium, carrying schoolbooks or lunch pails, or other items that will hide her pregnancy.”

Krakow and Ben Rosenbaum work together, which is nice for them. He plays the role of Mike Hickam, who, with an unlikely start in life managed to expand into business and even became mayor of Hope Valley. They met and dated for quite some time, but didn’t rush to go Instagram official. Later, they married back in June.
