Why do most people call it

Getting "knocked up".. its something i just don't understand. i looked on Google what it meant in the early days, but to still use it is just strange to me.

I can't use "knocked up" anymore because I have a friend who visited London, and when she first got a hotel room, someone at the front desk asked her if she wanted "knocked up in the morning." 

She was confused at first, but learned that it was their version of a wake-up call; someone would come to your door and knock until you woke up to answer.
