Scottish slang for pregnant. 'Kyte' is a Scottish dialect word for belly or stomach, so 'up the kyte' means essentially 'with a swollen belly.' It is informal and typically used in casual speech without particular delicacy. Belongs to a long tradition of Scottish belly-based pregnancy euphemisms. More colorful than clinical but not considered particularly offensive.
Turns out she'd been up the kyte for three months before she told anyone.
