Up the duff

[LeviStubbsTears]

I think this is my favourite pregnancy euphemism. Anyone else have any favourites/ good ones?

My least favourite: "gone", as in, "how far gone are you?" Hate it hate it. Makes me sound like I am dying.

My favourite: knocked up.

I like up the duff too..
Also, bun in the oven..

oh i love up the duff in a jokey way

how about "expecting"

Am sorely tempted to post 'LST is up the duff' (or 'knocked up', also ace, thanks Jacks!) as my Facebook status once I get to 12 weeks (providing I do, of course ). Haven't had much of any of it yet as only a very select few know, but I can imagine I'd feel the same about 'gone'. Horrible.

Sorry, missed the other two posts - like 'bun in the oven' too. (I think I like the cruder sounding ones best, basically!)

Oh, and up the junction obviously..

I also like the slightly pompous / faux-coy type ones like:

With Child
In the Family Way

Not heard up the junction before catbus!

Up the stick?
Muffed up? (NEVER heard this till recently!)

One that I've only EVER heard once from a straightshooting/crude friend is - Exhibiting signs of man-juice infection.

'going to visit an aunt in the country' for true 1930s euphemistic style! Love 'up the duff' and 'with child'. Man juice infection might become a new fave though...

Up the spout?
Growing a bean

My sister is pregnant and her FB status was X has had a baker put a bun in her oven, as her DP surname is Baker.

My least favourite is "fell pregnant"

how did you fall? was it not active rather than passive

Fell pregnant is HIDEOUS!

Love 'knocked up'

Whenever DH grumbles because I'm bossing him around (eg carry this, fetch that) I say in a loud voice 'Well you shouldn't have knocked me up then!'. We think it's funny but did it in John Lewis recently and got a few looks .

How about 'up-duffed'? Not in common use I grant you but I like it.

I told people I was up the stick. I think it suits my situation ;)

Can't stand preggers or preggo - think pregnant is a pretty grim word actually.

In the club.

I think 'up the duff' is still number one for me, though there's some great ones here. (I shall have to find an occasion to use 'going to visit an aunt in the country', Haz - fantastic!). I hate 'fall pregnant' too.

Levi, when I found out I got overexcited and put 'is plus one' on my facebook status. Most of my friends thought it was a geek reference.

You fall pregnant because you tumble, natch
