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"?

One could also use the word "became" instead of "ended up."

" The last time we met I became pregnant"

"end up" =  finish

e.g.  I started the race in front but I ended up last.

When I lost my job, I ended up in debt.

I went regularly to language classes, but ended up learning very little.

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.
