Why wasn't it a huge political scandal when Padme showed up pregnant to the senate? Nobody besides her and Anakin knew about their marriage. Wouldn't Palpatine have tried to use this to discredit her as one of his main political obstacles?
It was a different galaxy.
>>222326659Padme was always a private person so it probably wasn't a surprise that nobody in the Senate knew who knocked her up. Also Palpatine wouldn't have risked fucking with her because it would have made Anakin turn on him immediately. He was the one that brought them together after all so that he would be able to use his feelings for her as leverage.

Some opposition was useful up until a point for a facade of democracy, and her being a senator with a target on her back was a huge source of stress in Anakin's life, and Sheev wanted him to be constantly on edge.
