Comparable

Pregnant in the first sense, the baby one, is comparable. "Only 4 months? You look way more pregnant." That may be rare, but extent is often stated. "8 months is extremely pregnant"--Simplificationalizer (talk) 15:56, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

 Done Changed it to "mostly not comparable", since as you say it is sometimes, rarely, comparable. Equinox ◑ 16:56, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
