Hagar is sent away from Avraham and Sarah twice - once while pregant with Yishmael and once after he is born. She is introduced, becomes pregant and is subsequently banished - all in Chapter 16 of Bereishis. She is first introduced as a שִׁפְחָה מִצְרִית - an Egyptian maidservant. After being introduced as an Egyptian, within the 16 pesukim in Chapter 16, the names of 3 of the plagues of Egypt are mentioned:
הַרְבָּה אַרְבֶּה אֶת-זַרְעֵךְ
וַתִּקְרָא שֵׁם-יְהוָה הַדֹּבֵר אֵלֶיהָ
הִנֵּה בֵין-קָדֵשׁ, וּבֵין בָּרֶד
