    Die beiden anderen Möglichkeiten sind aber nicht ausgeschlossen.

    receive ist ganz falsch, das würde heißen, dass jemand anders die (s)ein Baby gibt. =)

    Only having a baby really works.
    Everything else (unless I'm forgetting something obvious) sounds like the baby is coming from a shop or by post.

    Ich glaube 'receive a baby' wird mehr mit der Empfängnis in Verbindung gebracht, wenn überhaupt.

    Irgendwie hab ich das mit dem "receive" auch im Hinterkopf, aber wahrscheinlich nur wegen dem deutschen Gebrauch von "Empfängnis"...

    She is pregnent. She'll get a baby.

    She'll get a baby is not acceptable to me unless, as Robbie points out, she is adopting, purchasing or special-ordering one. "They are going to China to get the baby."
    Recieving is out of the question.

    Get a baby and receive a baby are simply not English. End of.

    Das ist ja schön das es "get" und "receive" nicht ist. Und was ist es dann?

    Also das kann ich ja leiden, ausschließen kann jeder, aber die Lösung hat keiner.

    ps: sorry pregnant. < hatte mich vertippt.

    No, the solution is simple. There is only one common phrase: to have a baby. That is absolutely the standard way to say it.

    Sie ist schwanger/erwartet ein Kin

    She's expecting a baby
    She's expecting
    She's pregnant
    She's having a baby

    Sie hat ein Kind bekommen

    She's had a baby
    She's given birth


    Sie hat ein Kind bestellt (im Katalog o.ä., bei Menschenhändlern, etc. und holt es jetzt ab)

    She gets a baby


    Ihr wird ein Kind von jemand anderem gegeben

    She receives a baby.

    'To have a baby' refers both to the condition of being pregnant and to giving birth and the immediate (interpreted broadly) aftermath. 'To be with child' does not: it's only the first one of the above.

    (to) have a baby = ein Baby bekommen. As explained above.
    (to) CONceive = ein Baby 'empfangen'...im Sinne von Befruchtung.
    (to) receive a baby via mail = ein Baby per Post erhalten... ;)

    beides, kommt auf den Kontext an

    aber sie ist schwanger würde man wörtlich mit she is pregnant übersetzen

    Sie hat ein Kind bestellt = She IS GETTING a baby.

    All I'm trying to say is that "ein Baby bekommen," or "having a baby," is a very inexact phrasing of a condition that can be interpreted widely. Accordingly, there are, as Richard has now pointed out, various ways of expressing this, depending on the precise condition meant.

    ..or if you play baby football, there must be the position of baby reciever. Then when the baby is passed, they could recieve it.

    But seriously: She's having a baby refers to the whole process as Richard pointed out. He also had a number of additional suggestions, all of which are a bit more formal.

    Or: If you mean that she's pregnant, then consider:

    She's pregnant
    She's expecting [quite common in everyday speech, at least in AE]
    She's going to have a baby

    She is having a baby beschreibt den Zustand von der Hochzeit bis zur Geburt des Babys. Dieser Film beweist es :-)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She's_Having_a_Baby

    This film is a look at the lives of Jake and Kristy Briggs, from their wedding day until the birth of their first child.

    Yes, Selkie, but some of Richard's tenses are more than a little dodgy :)

    See also 27.

    @John,

    I'm not entirely sure where you feel that my tenses are 'a little dodgy'?

    I left out the precise moment of giving birth, which could also be described as 'having a baby' (Quick, call the husband and tell him his wife is having the baby now"), similarly 'having the baby' could refer to the decision to go through with the pregnancy (as suggested by Madonna in 'Papa don't preach'- "I made up my mind, I'm having my baby"...).

    Neither do I agree that 'to have a baby' does actually refer to the (immediate) aftermath (although I love the use of the word 'aftermath' in this context :)). After the birth has taken place, she's had the baby.

    To be with child sounds somewhat dated, even to me- and I quite like antiquated language.

    Richard,
    Someone ordering a baby by mail order is said to be getting a baby - getting, not gets. Its a whole process, not an instant occurrence.
    Similarly for receiving.
