KNOCKED UP: If you are "knocked up", you are pregnant. However, if you use the term "knocked up", usually you are implying the pregnancy is unexcepted or perhaps unwelcomed. EX: "She got knocked up when she was on holiday" "I don't want to tell my parents I am knocked up".
(another phrase often used to suggest a woman is pregnant is "She has a bun in the oven". EX: "Carmen has a bun in the oven." )
