Script (guión): Idioms, ‘bun in the oven’. If a woman has a bun in the oven, it means she is pregnant. When I was a boy, I loved any kind of sweet, for example, cakes or pastries and one day I was playing out on the path and I overheard my neighbour telling my mother that her daughter, Sue, had got a bun in the oven.
‘Great’, I said, licking my lips, ‘Lets have some.’
My mum said, ‘No, it means she's pregnant. She's not cooking anything.’
