Where I am from, I think that most males would say "My wife is pregnant. We are having a baby" and women would say much the same. "We are expecting" could also be said by both parties but NOT "We are pregnant" (unless using an ironic or disrespectfully humorous 'royal we' in reference to the wife who has doubled in size and is eating for two!)
If a man were to announce to his mates that "We are pregnant", it's almost certain that they would fall about laughing first and then congratulate him (with heavy irony and plentiful suggestions for taking it easy, watching the cravings &c., &c.!)

When the fella starts throwing up from morning sickness, they REALLY have a major problem!

Oh I truly despise that saying..I guess I am old school. Why they say it? No clue it disgusts me.
