Despite being saved by Daenerys from being raped by the tribe's warriors, however, the priestess betrays her and the magic ritual results in Daenerys's unborn child being stillborn and leaves Drogo in a catatonic state. Because Drogo will never recover, Daenerys smothers him with a pillow.
Rhaego was the stillborn son of Daenerys Targaryen and Drogo. The reason for his stillbirth is that his mother asked a maegi in the village, Mirri Maz Duur, to save his father's life, as Drogo was dying of an infected wound).
The witch whom Daenerys saves from being defiled by the warriors, Mirri Maz Durr, offers to treat him but instead poisons the wound, which leads to his death. Daenerys begs her to bring him back to life, and her unborn child is killed so this can happen.
Daenerys was pregnant in an alternate ending of season 8, but the scene got discarded as an explanation was missing and little is known about it because it was never released.
Daenerys believes she's infertile because of Mirri Maz Duur
She asks a maegi (a woman of Essos who practices blood magic) name Mirri Maz Duur to save him at whatever cost. "Only death can pay for life," Duur tells Daenerys. Daenerys agrees, thinking Duur only meant to kill Drogo's horse as a sacrifice.
One thing we do know (or at least suspect) is that, despite all of this, Dany does appear to get pregnant once more. In the books, she seems to suffer a miscarriage after eating some green berries, which taste bitter and familiar: Perhaps Mirri used them in Dany's secret drink.
In Season 1, Daenerys married Khal Drogo and became pregnant with their son, Rhaego.
In George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, Daenerys' son Rhaego is stillborn after she enters the tent in which Mirri Maz Duur is performing a blood magic ritual on Khal Drogo. The witch then implies to Dany that she is infertile after she discovers that Drogo has been left in a catatonic state.
Can Dany have children? The books are clear that she cannot, but the show less so. In “Baelor,” the penultimate episode of Season 1, the Lhazareen witch Mirri Maz Duur, at the behest of Daenerys, performed a blood rite on her husband Khal Drogo.
It was actually the last episode of Season 7 when Daenerys Targaryen (Clarke) and Jon Snow (Harington) finally hooked up after a season of sexual tension. In fact, they hadn't even met yet back on Season 6. The Season 7 sex scene, which appears near the end of last season's finale, is significant for several reasons.
She got pregnant again when she started being sexually active again (with Daario and then with Hizdahr). But yes I think what she experiences at the end of the fifth book is clearly a miscarriage, meaning, she can at least get pregnant.
Viserys - This is Daenerys' first experience with familial and romantic love (for years, she and Viserys both believed they would marry each other), setting the stage for the rest of her life. Does Daenerys really love Jon Snow or just as long as she gets what she wants? Yes, Daenerys loved Jon.
“When the babe at last came forth, she proved indeed a monster: a stillborn girl, twisted and malformed, with a hole in her chest where her heart should have been and a stubby, scaled tail. The dead girl had been named Visenya. “
As such, Rhaenyra's baby in House of the Dragon wasn't born with greyscale, but rather a blood-related, Targaryen-specific dragon scale defect sometimes seen in their stillborn babies.
The prevailing theory is that Targaryen's really do have dragon blood flowing in their veins, and their children look like this while being carried to term. This would explain why only premature births seem to exhibit reptilian appendages.
DANY: Post-Traumatic Growth
While most people have heard of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), few have heard of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) which can be used to sum up Dany's evolution.
Between their budding romance and Tyrion questioning the khaleesi about who will be next in line for the throne if she should die, "Beyond the Wall" was intent on reminding viewers that Daenerys cannot have children — at least, not human ones.
Daenerys is called Mother of Dragons because she brought three dragons from dead eggs back to life. So figuratively, she went into fire and gave birth to dragons. This is actually genetic because Daenerys' ancestress Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen also had a stillborn "dragon baby" called Visenya.
Pregnant during season one and season six
The producers decided to use a body double, while also dressing Headey in long flowing dresses and robes to hide the pregnancy. “We just hid the pregnancy,” Headey said to Vulture in 2013.
Snow, now 75, and his wife, Zimbabwean academic Precious Lunga, welcomed a baby boy via surrogate in March 2021 after struggling with “medical setbacks and miscarriages”. He also has two daughters from his three-decade relationship with human rights lawyer Madeleine Colvin.
As we all know, Daenerys received her three dragon eggs as a wedding gift from Illyrio Mopatis. They later hatched, birthing the dragons Rhaegal, Viserion and Drogon. Illyrio, for his part, claimed that they came from the Shadow Lands beyond Asshai.
Upon entering, Daenerys finds herself back in her former home while on the Dothraki Sea in Drogo's tent. Before her are her dead husband and child, both alive again. Rhaego is seen as a small adorable boy in the arms of Drogo.
Daenerys survived the flames when her dragons were born thanks to a mysterious, magical mix of Mirri Maz Duur, sacrifice, and dragon eggs. Yet while Thrones decided to make Daenerys completely immune to fire to explain this experience, it's more of a onetime thing in the books.
Rhaenyra does not give birth till the next moon cycle, in Fire and Blood, but her anger at being taken her birthright by her half-brother, Aegon II Targaryen, drives her to labour. Rhaenyra screamed and cursed Prince Aegon, Queen Alicent, and her baby within her, for three days.
