In Oz "knocked up" has nothing to do with banging on doors (though the mind boggles) or being in the family way.

A "knocked up" Aussie could also refer to him/herself as tired, dead beat, buggered, rooted or f****d.

Being in the family way is more commonly known as being "up the duff" or "having a bellyful of arms and legs"

We are but simple, common folk.
