If Adalind's pregnancy followed the usual nine month human process, it could have been as long as 10-12 weeks. That's when the average woman's baby bump first appears. You'd expect her to have noticed missed periods and get morning sickness earlier than that, though. Did they ever mention any of that during her first? I don't remember.
Many women have very irregular periods and/or no morning sickness. Morning sickness is individual baby related since it partly based chemical the fetus produces so one pregnancy can have serious morning sickness while the next one none.
I don't have a 28-day menstrual cycle, and neither should you

That means at most, a 6 week time frame since she slept with Nick.Many women have only a few periods a year so expecting these women to know they are pregnant at 6 weeks makes no sense. Women bodies have a lot of natural variation for what we are talking about and are not clocks.
Yes, some Grimm shows have one or two months between information in the shows like tickets dates.

With Adalind's body a pregnancy would be obvious. It may first be seen as a unexplained weight gain. But after a couple of months the changes would have caused concern. Especially since this is not her first pregnancy. Plus Adalind is an educated women and any change in her body would be noticed. It wold not matter if she was or was not in a dungeon. Her body would have still reacted the same.
One woman's pregnancy can be very different than the next. Research supports large natural variation among women not that women do not understand their bodies as the biggest issue. Women are not clocks.
Length of pregnancy can vary by up to five weeks, scientists discover

Studies keep showing more and more natural variation among women and still be healthy. Healthy women can have irregular periods, have or not have morning sickness and different length pregnancies and all be healthy.
Women characters do not have to be having sex with the lead to be important to the story.
