It's funny how people treat words differently. To me, "fell pregnant" seems fine. To others, it's problematic. Not sure what phrasal verb in the past tense I should be using to describe someone getting pregnant. They all sound similar? Became, got, etc.
Guide me.

Became pregnant, conceived: neutral and factual.
