sounds more like a Trojans ad, if you ask me
The Department of Health has put up these posters around town that picture three young pregnant women, one black, one white, and one Hispanic, under the headline "Pregnant?" If so, one is urged to obtain prenatal care by calling some phone number.
The Spanish version of this poster in my neighborhood says "Embarazada?"
This is unsurprising, as it is the Spanish word for "pregnant," but every time I pass the poster what I see is some knocked-up teenagers standing under the word "Embarassed?"

Also, if my Spanish major is worth anything, I believe that while "embarazada" is used only to describe a pregnant woman, "preƱar" can is used to express physical pregnancy in any species, as well as the concept of fullness, heaviness, or words fraught with meaning.
