   That's assuming she *was* pregnant.  Remember, the other Ranma was mad at
   her for something she did.  While it is not unknown for a guy to blam the 
   women in such situations, (and it sounds like the type of thing that other
   Ranma would do,) maybe the reason he was mad at her was becasue she *lied*
   about being preggers.

   Also, this is not the sort of thing Ranko would forget to tell Ranma.  I 
   mean, if he really had gotten her pregnant, it would have been one of the 
   first things she told him once she found out about his current situation.

   I hope for the current Ranma's sake that this is the case.  'Cause
   if he *did* get her preggers he is going to be in big trouble.  I
   believe the Technical term for it would be "Dead meat."

Wait a second; didn't our author indicate Ranma was going to use his
second wish soon?  What better way to "cross the Rubicon" and commit
himself to this reality than to wish away the tawdry relationship his
alternative self got into and clear the way for Akane.
