Let's say you are acquainted with a woman who is 5+ months pregnant. You haven't seen her in a bit and you expect her to be sporting quite a belly. When you finally do see her, you are surprised that she doesn't really seem to be showing.
In such a situation, do NOT say (unprompted, anyway), "Oh, if I didn't know you were pregnant, I wouldn't have ever guessed." Or anything along those lines.
Why? Because the woman in question undeniably knows that she is pregnant, that she has a gargantuan belly that keeps her from wearing her old clothes, sleeping on her back or her stomach, and even comfortably riding the recumbent bike at the gym. Sure, that belly is going to get bigger but her uterus is already the size of a basketball and if you tell her that you don't see a thing you are just telling her that, in your eyes, she was always huge.
