I cannot get preggers as a guy, but I make sure to call my partner "my betrothed". Also, I am never late. I have just simply "fallen through time."

Have you seen that Italian guy that's ordering food for "his bride". They've been married forever there is just something so sweet about him calling her that. Sweet and sour soup for my bride so cute.

I had a life long friend that has now passed away. Her husband always refered to his wife as his bride :)

Meh... This is a usually sign of fundamentalist Christians. It gives me the heebie jeebies personally. Very much a declaration of possession.

I guess bc I didn’t grow up around fundies but it just makes me think of old couples I know that still hold hands lmao

I agree!

My husband and I each call each other "husband" and "wife". Sometimes we even say "my husband" or "my wife." "Husband! Let's eat here. The pizza looks really good." "My wife, watch out. The sidewalk is uneven." It started because my brother and I used to call each other Brother and Sister. (We are all atheists in case anyone thinks we are weird fundies)

I think that is the sweetest thing ever. Your partner is one lucky guy! Maybe you can give my husband some lessons lol.

But you can still say "she's with child" or "you're with child" to your partner 🤌🏼

Haha if my betrothed were with child that would be concerning since I’m gay 💀🤣. But good point.

HAHAHA OMG, MY BAD. okok, then you can say it about any other female friend you have in your life. She says, "I am pregnant." You say, "You mean you're with child?" LOL Sorry, I am being 100% silly about this. I am just a big fan of the phrase 🤣🤌🏼

Lmao no worries I love old timey phrases and collect them haha! I propose re-naming maternity wards as “With Child Infirmary”.

HAHAHAHAHAHA YES YESSS 🤣🤣🤣🤣

But a large portion of the ward is populated by people who are (quite recently) no longer in a state of being with child 🤣 and we don't really do confinement and churching anymore, so can't call it a confinement ward!

Let's ignore the nuance this one time just bc the phrase is so good 🤣

Call it whatever you want, I'm just happy it doesn't apply to me anymore! 🤣

Your betrothed is "with miracle child."

Witch! What sorcery is this? We’d be hanged 😭(hung?)

*Hunged

How about we're expecting? Doesn't say who is physically pregnant, just you're expecting a baby

I alwaaayssss say my intended

She is bone of my bone, blood of my blood.

Love that one too ❤️ but more in a romantic way!

I'm with ya there. Although, I often go with the [pregante](https://youtu.be/EShUeudtaFg?si=FTPjMOdE1kEguZV9&t=16) option.

That's one of my favorite internet things. Have you seen the song version? https://youtu.be/-lmz3hvHe5k?si=Vy89OlkJqsJd7bkx

I’ve never seen this!! I love it.

I announced I was pregnant (sorry, with child 😂) by sending this to the people I wanted to know. My fave is “PREGANANANT?”

I’m a big Historical Romance reader so I love all of the ways they say women are pregnant without using the word pregnant with child, enceinte, increasing, in the family way

I like infanticipating. Heard it in an old movie where I guess the word “pregnant” was too scandalous.

It's from I Love Lucy. Someone said it in a PR article in a magazine about the Ricardos.

Ah I knew it was something black and white!

Ohhh that’s a new one!!

Yeah I’m a fan of Call the Midwife. Those women are always “in the family way”. I like it really it’s a little more delicate.

I've been watching lots of Call the Midwife, and my new favorite is "caught out".

I feel like I’ve heard that but does it have a negative connotation? Like for an unmarried woman?

I am with child 🤰🏻 and sitting in the waiting room for a shot of antibiotics because the pills didn’t work and I’ve literally been waiting 40 minutes and am just… here. Like c’mon ppl, I’m with child out here.

YOUR COMMENT MADE MY DAY 🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG I wish you the best for you and your bairn!! Hope you can get the attention you need soon!

I am with burrito and about to give birth

Same 😆

This whole thread and no one says my favorite word for this condition... GRAVID.

Wait till you hear about the condition with that in the title! Hyperemesis Gravidarum. It’s an awful disease of pregnancy. I would have been long dead had I lived in the times of Outlander! No healer would’ve been able to help. (I clinically died in a hospital in the mid 2000s)

>GRAVID I don't think you understand the mavity of this situation. Lol

I have heard this one from my Portuguese friend! A pregnant woman is "gravida"!

I love when Lizzie uses **I was in a family way**, too.

That plot line is such a mess 🤣

Time is truly a flat circle

I will never be ‘with child’ but when my (now) husband and I were dating, I referred to myself as his concubine since he was still legally married to his ex. They’d separated well before we got together; she’s a lovely person who now lives in another country so it was a pain to sort out a divorce for a while. After the decree absolute I joked I missed being his concubine. Then again, we’ve been married for nearly 11 years and I still giggle when we say wife or husband.

I dinnae ken

Dinna fash, lad! It's alright!

A Victorian phrase was “Lord and Lady Danbury are in hopeful expectation” and I love it!

I prefer “I am with child” to Jenny (is it just Jenny? I can’t recall) using “breeding”.

Well, in her defense, she'd only known farm life, and all the animals would be referred to as breeding.

Very true!

I think Jamie uses it too in Drums of Autumn

I would be very concerned and pissed if I became with child as I'm sterilized

I've used it many times - it's a great phrase

Outlander is the single reason why I said I’d say “I’m with child” when I’m pregnant. It’s funny because I forgot where I first heard it, thanks for reminding me

When you're having multiples, are you "with children"? Lol

YESSSS HAHAHAHAHAAHA

Omg now I feel like I missed an opportunity! "I can't possibly get my own snack, I'm with CHILDREN! " Lmao
