The phrase that I don't like at all and I'm hearing it more and more is "baby bump".
I don't have a replacement, but it also seems weird that we now refer to the most physical aspect of pregnancy and not other things, like family. That is, the woman isn't having a child which will be part of a family. Instead, the woman has "bump".
