pregnant woman
Woman with child
A pregnant woman is a woman carrying a developing fetus in her uterus.
The phrase is straightforward and clinical, used in medical contexts, legal documents, and everyday speech: The pregnant woman was rushed to the hospital.
In discussions of abortion rights and transgender inclusion, some prefer "pregnant person" to acknowledge that not all who become pregnant identify as women.
