There's no need to get the grammar perfect in an informal conversation of that nature. Note, though, that to somebody who is pregnant the question would be clear even if you don't mention the baby or the pregnancy explicitly, and even if you hadn't just been talking about pregnancy. They will already be (or soon will be) used to answering similar questions. | |

| Jun 2, 2016 at 10:42 | comment | added | kitty | Hi nnnnnn. Is it alright if I ask this instead, How many months along with the baby are you? I added 'the baby' after along to make the question more clear. Is it still correct? | |
