I've a question.

Pregnancy and pregnant are completely the same.

I need a good explanation minutely.

I appreciate your support anyhow.

What? You need an explanation of pregnancy and pregnant?

In what sense?

OK - if you look at your mummy and daddy when they are having a bath, you will notice that there are differences....

Can somebody else continue?

Esa era una situación embarazosa. (not sure of the spelling of embarazosa)
Correcto. Pero más bien debiera ser "vergonzoso,a"

Si dices en inglés: "I'm embarrassed" esto no significa que estes embarazada...

Embarrasing = embarazoso,a

Embarrassed = avergonzado

I think there is also an expression like : 'I wish the ground would open up and swallow me (whole)' (something like this..), to indicate a great sense of embarassment.. ?

Is there a Spanish equivalent of this?

(By the way, in Dutch we say 'Ik kon wel door de grond zakken' = 'I could have just fallen (down) through the ground' (the verb 'zakken' is a bit difficult to translate.))

Por supuesto, ya mencioné una vez eso de cavar un hoyito y meterme en el. (pero nadie hizo caso) :-D

O bien literal: Quiero/quisiera que la tierra se abra y me trague/tragara.
