A woman's condition from the time of conception and the commencement of gestation.

In an English case, "quick with child" was distinguished from "with quick child," the former phrase being said to signify merely "having conceived" (8 Car. & P. 262), but this distinction is not recognized (22 N. J. Law, 57).
