Phrasal verb to "end up". Can't find any synonyms so far.
Once I watched a movie in English and I heared this expression " The last time we met I end up pregnant". What verb can be used instead of "end up"?

"end up" = finish

The correct sentence is:
"The last time we met I ended up pregnant".
It just means that last time they met, they had sex and she became pregnant as a result of the meeting.
