She would have been five or six years old. That's old enough to understand a pregnancy IF they're told about it. But they won't make that leap themselves. Also, I doubt Meredith saw her mother very much. And if Ellis didn't want her to know, she could have made it additionally difficult for her to figure it out.

And with Alzheimer's, they often say things that don't make sense to anyone else, so whoever was listening probably just ignored it. And she also had another child, so if she mentioned pregnancy or a child, they probably assumed she meant Meredith. And her favorite time period to get stuck in was her residency, which would have been before Maggie.

And yes, Maggie is younger than Meredith.
