Also means
to saturate
Usage Note
Impregnar primarily means to saturate or permeate something with a substance — a smell, liquid, or dye — and is used far more often in this physical/figurative sense than to mean biological impregnation (for which embarazar or dejar embarazada is used). La madera quedó impregnada de humedad illustrates the typical usage.
Examples
"El olor del café impregnó toda la casa."
Natural Translation
The smell of coffee permeated the whole house.
