But if it comes to mean "expecting a baby" instead of "physically carrying a baby", then what word will we have for that? It's silly, because we already have a perfectly good word for "expecting". It's "expecting".<br /><br />I once heard someone say "my husband and I are due a baby in December", and I thought that was a lovely turn of phrase. Couldn't that become more widespread? That would relieve some of the pressure on the word "pregnant".Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-65774012524703244022012-07-27T01:32:29.442+01:002012-07-27T01:32:29.442+01:00I really hate that phrase.
