LOS ANGELES — Maya Rudolph is pregnant again, both in real life and on the big screen in “Away We Go.”

But don’t think for a minute that a feature-film career or a second baby would stop her from returning to NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.”

In film, Rudolph has experience playing a pregnant character. In what is widely considered her first standout feature-film performance, she was an expectant radio-show stage manager in Robert Altman’s 2006 ensemble piece, “A Prairie Home Companion.”

The dramedy “Away We Go,” which was released June 5, marks the 36-year-old’s first major feature-film lead, as half of a couple on the road in search of a place to call home.
