Infanticipating

I heard on a radio podcast an interesting word that describes being pregnant. It made me laugh and smile, and realized how true it is. The word is INFANTICIPATING, a combination of the words ‘infant’ and ‘anticipating’ – a clever way of creating a new word to describe exactly what is taking place, anticipating an infant, also to affirm the pro-life mission, and affirm the undeniable presence of life at the very moment of conception. I searched a few other words that describe the same meaning, some of them slang words, and may not be as clean as ‘infanticipating’, but here they are:
pregnant - expectant - enceinte - expecting - carrying a child - clucky - parturient - caught - childing -expecting a baby - heavy - in pod - knocked up - storked - up the duff - up the pole - with child - antenatal - anticipating - expecting a happy event - fecund - fertile - fertilized - fruitful - gestating - heavy with child - in the club - prenatal - productive - prolific - up the spout - up the stick - on the way - with one in the oven - having swallowed a watermelon seed - in a delicate condition - with a bun in the oven - in a family way - with a joey in the pouch - in the pudding club - be blooming – be eating for two – in an interesting condition – hormonal – pupped – up the stump – cooking up baby – bumpaholic.
