bun in the oven
idiom
- to be pregnant

Hollywood actress Melanie Griffith starred with James Woods in the 1998 film Another Day in Paradise. When asked what it was like working with Woods, she replied: "It's like having a bun in the oven. At first you are happy. Then you think it was a mistake. And in the end you just want it to be over."
Perhaps because of our Puritan, and later Victorian roots, there was a time when the English treated the subject of male/female relationships and birth with some delicacy. This is despite the fact that as humans it is in our nature to "be fruitful and multiply". We thus created other ways to explain pregnancy such as
"she's with child" (archaic)
"she's in the family way"
"she's expecting"
"she's on stork watch"
"she has a bun in the oven" (a bun being a small round piece of bread).
