Can a woman be pregnant for 13 months?

In: Pregnancy [Edit categories]

Answer:

Most doctors will allow a pregnancy to go a week or two over the woman's due date. After that the placenta will not function as it should. A compromised placenta is bad news for mother and baby. Also, the baby will continue to grow until it will be too large for a safe delivery.
