"Far along" here refers to how far a woman is in her pregnancy. Ex: A: Wow you're getting bigger, how far along are you now? B: 26 weeks. While it is common to use this expression to refer to pregnancy, you can also use the expression "far along" when asking someone how much progress they have made in something. Ex: How far along are you on the essay assignment? Ex: How far along are you in university?
