COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS ?

When somebody asks me : " How is your pregnancy? Not you your wife.."

If i reply as : "You may have also meant me when you were asking how “the pregnancy” is going cause i put some weight on "

Would it be natural ?

Thank you in advance

The meaning of this is unclear.

Usually the cause is too much beer-drinking.
Unless you want to be a Sumo wrestler!

I think it's just that the punctuation is unhelpful. Something is needed between "you" and "your".

Maybe. Is it possible that the intended meaning was " How is your pregnancy? Not your wife's, yours."

I thought it meant this:

"How is your pregnancy? Not you ... [I'm talking about] your wife."

I.e. the speaker is correcting/clarifying his question in the second sentence.

Exactly.. you are totally right.

My wife is pregnant. So the speaker already knows that.

But he is asking me like "How is your pregnancy ? not you (he is correcting his statement) your wife ('s pregnancy)

And i replied to him in a funny way . I mean , i tried to make some fun

So i said "You may have also meant me when you were asking how “the pregnancy” is go
