Single word meaning "pregnant woman"
Does such a word exist?
It has occurred to me that the "woman" part is redundant, since only women can be pregnant (except for Arnold Schwarzanegger in Junior)
Answer
Primagravida is a medical term for somebody pregnant for the first time, and multigravida is in the OED for somebody pregnant not for the first time, so you could coin gravida, I suppose. But in normal usage, I'd say there is no such noun.
