As an anecdote, when I was pregnant with my first I heard a teenager tell his friend that he thought pregnant women were hot "because you know they put out." posted by TooFewShoes at 2:33 PM on July 1, 2010 [2 favorites]

That is so cute and I don't know why. Maybe it's the "our baby" because I hear so much "she's pregnant" like it's the woman's problem.
I've heard "knocked up" and "preggers" and "her eggo is preggo." posted by anniecat at 2:55 PM on July 1, 2010
My friends referred to their baby as "hybrid" which I thought was genius. posted by fyrebelley at 2:59 PM on July 1, 2010
This baby will really make him love me.
After the baby is born he'll stop drinking.

Nobody told me not to swallow! (I haven't been pregnant, but I'm looking forward to using it)
Also, it seems to be a law that you have to ask pregnant women 'what are you having.' My sister, knocked up with twins, got great pleasure in responding, 'kittens!' posted by bilabial at 3:51 PM on July 1, 2010 [3 favorites]

The rabbit died.
In the olden days, you couldn't say "pregnant" on TV. A couple of old tropes that I remember that were used to indicate "a blessed event" were: 1) craving weird food combinations, especially pickles and ice cream; and 2) knitting booties, baby blankets or other baby items. posted by marsha56 at 3:27 PM on July 2, 2010
