“Fell pregnant” and “caught pregnant” are British turns of phrase.

Ah, I see, I did not know this, thank you.

Still this is a terrible phrase, it seems like it should be something like “she ascended to pregancy” instead of fell to it. The latter seems to set a negative premise from the start, but I’m just looking at the word fell from an American perspective then.

Yeah I have a good guess of where she landed when she fell.
