As mentioned in another thread, Mrs. Atari is once again "carrying my loin-fruit".
Or, as Emily Dickinson said, borne with a "scarlet freight."
So what would you call it?
If anyone can come up with some funny and inappropriate euphemisms, it's the Sloanenites.

I've always liked the Lemony Snicket reference to being "full of baby," or something like that.
I need to give this some thought, though, I've never really tried to come up with any of my own.

C*O*N*G*R*A*T*S to you on the new addition!
I believe it's a "you know... beef roast... in the oven!"

And here's a non-euphemism that may prove helpful to any pregnant woman in a bind: clergy of belly. To explain this obscurity requires explaining another: the expression "benefit of the clergy" meant that holy folks were given the benefit of the doubt — and a free pass in secular courts — for God-related reasons. This expression was well-established from about 1300-1800 and common enough to spawn this most pregcellent variation: A pregnant woman in trouble could claim the "clergy of her belly" as a general get-out-of-jail-free card. (from Babble.com) "pregcellent" should not be overlooked. pregnacious. pregtastic. pregfection. well. you know.  Congrats!!! |

Congrats! A quick Google search revealed this one: Mrs. Atari is "in the pudding club". Yeah. Apparently pudding was an old timey name for the genetic material, if you will.  |

One phrase I've always liked was "in the family way".

Well if it was told to me the term I would use is "OH GOD, NO!" That's because you're not a woman. |
