Exegesis
The subject then shifts to Hagar with vatera {וַתֵּרֶא | wat-tê-reʾ} ‘and she saw’, followed by the conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} and the perfect verb haratah {הָרָתָה | hā-rā-tāh} ‘she was pregnant’ to specify what she perceived. This framing of awareness shows a cause-and-effect relationship between conception and realization.
In context — Genesis 16:4
Abram went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When she realized she was pregnant, her mistress became despised in her eyes.
