Regarding the pregnancy acceleration, I was reminded of something. When Rumple was the Dark One, he had the ability to either age a person or de-age a person. My theory is that for whatever reason, Emma "speeds up Zelena's clock", so to speak. They never ruled out being able to magically age up a pregnant woman and her unborn child. Perhaps this plays a role in getting Zelena to agree to her deal to team up?
