Being pregnant in Finnish

When a woman is expecting a child in Finnish, she's raskaana, which literally means in a heavy condition. (Raskas means heavy.)  Here are some common pregnancy-related phrases:

• Oletko kuullut kuka odottaa vauvaa? - Have you heard who is expecting a baby?
• Mun sisko on raskaana. - My sister is pregnant.
• Meille tulee vauva! - We're going to have a baby!
• Villestä tulee isoveli. - Ville is going to be a big brother. 
• Sinä saat pikkusiskon. - You're going to have a little sister.
• Laskettu aika on lokakuussa.  - The expected due date is in October. 
• Onkohan Tiina raskaana? - I wonder if Tiina is pregnant. (Notice that it is not polite to ask a woman if she's pregnant!)
