Yes, according to some interpretations of the Ramayana, Sita was pregnant, approximately five months along, when Rama exiled her.
This event is a significant and often debated aspect of the Ramayana, sparking considerable discussion and, for some, questioning of Rama's actions. While the Ramayana exists in various versions, many of them depict Sita's pregnancy during her exile. The exile occurred because Rama, influenced by the rumors circulating among his subjects regarding Sita's purity after her time in Ravana's captivity, felt compelled to prioritize his duty as a king and maintain the integrity of his kingdom, even at a great personal cost.
The pregnancy adds a layer of complexity and tragedy to the exile, as Sita had to endure the hardships of forest life while carrying Rama's child. This period led to the birth of her twin sons, Lava and Kusha, in the hermitage of Sage Valmiki.
The differing interpretations and perspectives surrounding this event often center on the balance between dharma (duty or righteousness) and personal relationships. Rama's decision, viewed by some as a difficult but necessary sacrifice for the sake of his kingdom, is seen by others as an act of injustice towards Sita.
