Pregnant after IF

Are we "knocked up"?

Apparently, there is a movie marathon on ABC Family this weekend with comedies about pregnancy, one of which is Knocked Up. DH laughed and said "Hey, that's you! You're knocked up!"

It got me thinking, am I really "knocked up"? We started discussing it and I came up with the term "scientifically implanted", but that doesn't roll off the tongue.

Has anyone else come up with a new term for women in our shoes?

  • Pregnant! That's what I call it! Wahoooo!
  • Loading the player...
  • That's a good point!
    I do like to call DH "baby daddy". Haha. He has also told me I have no right to yell at him later in pregnancy or during labor because "technically, it was the doctor who got me in this condition".
    I tell ya what, I don't know how some women can do this alone or with a partner that isn't so funny or supportive.

    Glad someone besides me can make light of our situation.  Sometimes you just have to joke around in our shoes.

    BTW, we did our pregnancy announcement for our DS just like the Knocked Up movie poster
  • I like to think of myself and DH as having a Chandler Bing personality. If we couldn't make jokes, we never would have made it this far together.
    I'm digging the poster. We made our own poster that I'll wear on a tshirt Saturday to announce pregnancy without announcing. We'll see who my quickest aunt or uncle is.
