You could possibly say twins or triple I also wouldn’t question in if you said quadruplet’s

"with a girl" or "with a boy" are much more common than "with a baby", which I rarely hear in conversation.

The word is pregnant with possibility.

"im pregnant with a fart"
Regular-Raccoon-5373•
In my language we don't also say 'with a baby'.
PirateOfMenzpance•
If that’s a complete sentence it’s an example of tautology.

You can be pregnant with twins.
You can also say something like "when I was pregnant with you" if you're talking to your kid.
ElephantNo3640•
Metaphorically, sure. Pregnant just means “filled.”But used literally, it implies “baby.”

It's generally redundant to say "pregnant with a baby". It's a bit like saying "8am in the morning" or "ATM machine".
As someone else pointed out, you could be pregnant with more than one baby but if someone says they're pregnant, people will already assume it's one baby until they're told otherwise.

Generally, no.

Nope

She's pregnant with two twins. Or an alien.

You can be pregnant with a food-baby.

The two phrases I've heard using the word pregnant not regarding pregnancy are:
"pregnant with emotion"
"pregnant pause"
So yeah, you can be [pregnant with emotion](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaImprOY31k&t=107s), but it's rarely used because of the obvious potential for confusion.

Generally no. Saying "she's pregnant with a baby" is grammatically fine, it's just redundant. Something more specific like "she's pregnant with twins" or "she's pregnant with her third child" makes more sense since it adds information.
The word pregnant can occasionally be used to mean something is full of meaning, but it's only mostly just used this way in the phrase "a pregnant pause." That's the only case where pregnancy doesn't refer to a baby.

I don't think you'd ever want to say that. "She's pregnant" says it all.

Some examples: she’s pregnant, (mom to her child — when I was pregnant with you/your sibling), she’s pregnant with twins, she’s pregnant with triplets, she’s pregnant with her second child, she’s pregnant with a girl.

Just because an expression makes sense doesn’t mean it comes up very often

Mary Tudor, daughter of Henry VIII was thought to have some phantom pregnancies. So perhaps she was pregnant with the idea of a baby. Or gas. Or an ovarian cyst. Who knows.
You can also have a blighted ovum where the body is hormonally pregnant, there’s a gestational sac but no embryo.
ThirdSunRising•
It’s redundant of course. We just say she’s pregnant, unless we want to specify whom she is pregnant with. Could be twins. Could be a surprise in another way. But generally we just tell you she’s preggers and we can assume you’ll figure the rest out 🤷♂️

I would read that sentence to mean a woman that already has a baby is pregnant again.
l1lpiggy•
Food baby!!🫃
I can’t believe no one mentioned it yet. It’s a very common expression too.
YankeeOverYonder•
There can be a pregnant pause. Or something like that, but a person can only be pregnant with a baby as far as i know
tn00bz•
"Pregnant with baby," isn't something you'd really hear, but maybe something like, "she's with child."
Ok-Replacement-2738•
I mean most would stop at pregnant, or pregos here. you can infer that someone who's pregnant, is so witha child. If you were to impregnate someone/something that has a little wider scope.

This has been answered. I would add, that if you actually want to use the word baby, “She’s expecting a baby,” is a commonly used, neutral phrase.

She’s pregnant with a baby is usually the women’s response when a man makes a comment that the women looks fat or has been putting on a lot of weight.
