When Cersei told Jaime that she is pregnant with his child, naturally viewers questioned if she told the truth or not. She had lied her way through several scenarios for selfish reasons in past seasons, so it’s no surprise that fans doubted her pregnancy. However, an episode in the Season 7 finale of “Game of Thrones” may have confirmed that Cersei is indeed with child.
Season 7 Episode 7 ‘The Dragon and the Wolf’
Any pregnant woman would want to have the father of her child be with her during her pregnancy. She would want to have him around when she gives birth and to have him participate in the child's life as he or she grows up.
She would not want to be alone in bringing up the child. On the contrary, in the finale Cersei allowed Jaime to leave despite her condition. She did not beg him to stay. Instead, she threatened to have him killed for treason (because he went behind her back when he met with Tyrion). Her action was the opposite of someone who wants to have the child’s father by her side. It hinted that she may not be pregnant at all.
Cersei is not alone
We have seen from the past seasons of “Game of Thrones” that Cersei uses her beauty and charm to get what she wants. Likewise, she lies to have those close to her remain by her side and to keep them loyal. In the past, the queen of The Seven Kingdoms feared to be alone.
That was why she treasured her children so much and dreaded the idea of Jaime leaving her side.
However, it is different now that she is pregnant. She feels that she is not alone since she has a new life growing inside her. This is why she did not even waver when she ordered the Mountain to kill Jaime, which of course, he did not carry out.
Cersei did not even flinch when Jaime turned his back on her and left, despite the threat to his life. Cersei is not actually alone because she has her unborn child.
Maggy the Frog’s prophecy
Sadly, if old prophecies were to come true, Cersei may not see her child alive. Maggy the Frog predicted that she would only have three children.
Her prophecy came true when she gave birth to Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen, her children with her twin brother Jaime. This means that she could lose her fourth child. It is also worth mentioning that Maggy predicted that Cersei would become queen, which came about.
Cersei miscarriages
According to old spoilers, Cersei loses her unborn child in “Game of Thrones” Season 8. She miscarries because of stress. Likewise, Jaime’s absence eventually takes a toll on her emotions too.
Whether the Queen is pregnant or not, the series continues to dominate as viewers around the world remain entranced and anxious for the next season to begin.
