Estar o ser embarasada

I always assumed that in Spanish you would use estar in this case, but I heard ser used. Are both usages correct?

Estar embarazada = being pregnant

Ser embarazada = to be impregnated / to become pregnant / (there's a crude term I don't remember, being knocked something or so)

Thanks. By the way, the termed knocked up is the rude term in American English, but may have a different meaning in UK.
