But it's been a long time. Maybe 5 months, since Adalind slept with Nick. How can the writers expect us to believe that Adalind has been pregnant all this time, and not noticed it.

Wolfwand and I were discussing this. Google the story of Trish Staine - she was an aspiring marathon runner and mother of three who was suffering from severe back pains while trianing for a half-marathon. She finally ended up in the hospital where she discovered she was pregnant and gave birth to a 2.9kg baby girl! It happens.

Good point. Women who are athletes and/or have zero body fat, often stop having monthly periods. It's hard to believe that Ms. Staine "didn't know" she was pregnant. More likely, she knew and did not want to be disqualified, so she was trying to keep it a secret. Adalind is not what you would call 'chubby'...but she doesn't exactly look like she has zero body fat. Maybe the writers will offer this as an explanation of why she didn't know she was pregnant. I hope they give us something, because it is not making sense.

Sounds like they were setting the stage for explaining why Adalind hadn't realized she was pregnant. Yeah, Monroe said "by week sixteen"...but even though a fetus is only the size of an avocado, the uterus and amniotic fluid surrounding the baby is a lot more mass than an avocado. Trust me, I know. I have had children myself.
