That simply means they have a very large baby bump. It does not mean that they are "more pregnant" than a lady with a smaller bump. Pregnancy is a binary state.

- corobo 11y agoBeing pregnant is a binary state. Pregnancy is a process.
- mryan 11y agoOf course. The point still stands - a person either is, or is not, in state of pregnancy. I think that, from context, it was clear I was using "pregnancy" to mean "the state of being pregnant" and not referring to the nine month gestation period. That'll teach me to contribute to pedantry-focussed subthreads. :-)
- Retra 11y agoPretty much nothing is binary. Pregnancy is only approximately binary. Whether you're right or wrong about it certainly isn't. And nobody uses language in a binary manner.
