She is "expecting".

(她在“待产”中。)

She is "in a delicate condition".

(她正“怀孕中”。)

She is "well-along".

(她“心满意足”。)

She is about to have a "blessed event".

(她不久会有“喜事”。)

She is about to be "in a family way".

(她不久就要走向“家庭之路”。)

我们也会说“她有喜了”。可见在形容微妙(delicate)的事情时， 不问中外都会采用拐弯抹角的说法。另外，虽然同是“怀孕”， 但未婚的女性在不希望的情形下怀孕时，就说：

She is "in trouble".

(她“有了麻烦”。)
