That will depend on a lot of factors, though I don't disagree that the timeframe of filming for ep 16/17 is about right for things to start to be noticable.

However, different women handle pregnancy differently. Some women start to show early in pregnancy, while others can go to 6 months without anything truly noticable. And even when the bump is noticable, if they can avoid the additional weight showing up in their face and hands, you can still do quite a bit with how you manage your camera angles. I'm hopeful that they can manage the filming before things get too noticable, and then have time for Emilie to recover some before filming begins on season 6.
