Cersei has lost all of her children, leading to her taking the crown for herself after Tommen's suicide, but that might be about to change in Season 8. As she revealed to Jaime, and as was then figured out by Tyrion, she is pregnant once again.

There was some question over whether she was telling the truth, but it's in the script that she really is pregnant - or believes herself to be - and so it's from that standpoint we head into Season 8.

Of course, it's not going to be quite so simple. Cersei may be pregnant, but she's also looking unlikely to make it out of the season alive, and that could well mean not having the baby either, which is pretty bleak to think about. Cersei has also been left by the father of her baby, with Jaime turning his back on her and heading North to join the fight against the White Walkers.

It's not all bad news though, as she'll have Euron coming back soon, with the Golden Company to boot. But going back to the child, she refused wine in Season 7, yet was seemingly drinking it in Season 8's trailer. Does that mean she does lose the child? Does she herself drink poison so as to not have the baby? Or is it all just misdirection?
