Ginny going was not due to her pregnancy (although that may have also factored in). It had more to do with her availability to film during the week that she was out promoting Zootopia (for those that may not be aware, Ginny is the voice of Judy Hopps, and she did an amazing job). And that would have been around the time they filmed Sisters (the next episode). I believe that we will see Ginny again before the end of the season.

I agree that Emilie was sidelined due to her pregnancy, as she was much farther along in her pregnancy (in fact, she has already had her baby, a little girl), so may not have been able to do very much filming for the entire rest of the season. and the sleeping curse does provide an interesting opportunity to grow both Rumple and their relationship, as I am betting that Rumple will be the one to provide Belle with TLK when the time comes.
