Cheryl burst into tears of joy when I told her I was/got pregnant

"Cheryl burst into tears of joy when I told her I was pregnant."

Source: "Kimberley Walsh reveals Cheryl Cole "burst into tears" when she told her she was pregnant", by Kayleigh Dray, Closer Staff.

Can I use "got" instead of "was" in the sentence above?

Cheryl burst into tears of joy when I told her I got pregnant.

What is the difference in meaning between them? Thank you.
