Medical event A woman has been pregnant for 17 months?
In humans, pregnancy usually takes around nine months. However, some children are far too early and others take a little bit more time. However, according to experts, it is not possible for a baby to stay months in the womb beyond the actual date of birth. In China, however, a woman claims that she has been pregnant for 17 months.

Although the estimated date of birth in humans is usually set 280 days after the first day of the last menstrual bleeding, but very accurate predictions for birth dates are not possible according to scientific studies. The duration of pregnancies can therefore vary by more than a month. However, a woman in China now claims that she has been pregnant for 17 months. Experts think that's impossible.

According to media reports, a woman from Hunan Province in China claims she has had a baby for 17 months. According to a report from the People's Daily, Wang Shi stated that she became pregnant in February 2015 and that, according to her doctors' predictions, the baby should have been born in mid-November. But the predicted birth date passed. The doctors have told the expectant mother that she is not ready yet, as the placenta is still underdeveloped.
Unborn weighs almost four kilos
According to her own information, the woman goes since then every week in the clinic. The check-ups alone have so far devoured around 10,000 yuan (about 1,300 euros). Wang is said to have gained about 25 kilos since the beginning of the pregnancy. Even in the 14th month of pregnancy, the doctors would have seen no possibility for a birth, not even by a caesarean section. The unborn child now has a weight of 3.8 kilograms. According to her own information, she wants to give birth to her child before the 18th month of pregnancy.
Woman can not prove long pregnancy
According to a report from the Chinese "QQ", a doctor named Huang said, "After my check-up, the baby is about 38 weeks old." He said, "Everything seems normal." When he was approached by reporters on the 17-month pregnancy was explained Huang, it is not possible for him to say something about it because the documents that could prove it are missing. "All the documents were created according to the patient's statements," Huang said.
Longest pregnancy lasted about a year
According to a report by the British "Mirror" lasted the longest pregnancy so far just over twelve months. According to the US-American Beulah Hunter gave birth in 1945 after 375 days a baby.
The fact that women carry an unborn child for well over nine months in the body, occurs in exceptional cases in the so-called ectopic pregnancies that develop outside the uterus. These sometimes result in the fetus - sometimes unnoticed - dying in the womb and remaining there. For example, about two years ago, an Indian woman was reported to have doctors remove the skeleton of a fetus she had been carrying in her body for 36 years. (Ad)
