Why using the words "very"?

0Sorry for my bad English, I saw this word in the CBS News02br
02br
00The arrival of the porcupine surprised CBS 11 meteorologist Julie Bologna, 01font00who is very pregnant02font00. Her response set off the lemur, which immediately started in with a screeching mating call. 02br

00I want to ask why using "01font00very02font00"??02br
02br
00Who is pregnant is ok, but why using very pregnant? Does it means she is time to born a child??02br
02br
00Thanks!02br
