15 months is the longest recorded human pregnancy.

This was back in the 1950's or 1960's i think. It occurred because the baby was anencephalic (it didnt develop a higher brain center, no cerebrum). It could not initiate the birth process. The brain needs glucose to function, and close to birth the baby isn't getting enough glucose, so the baby becomes stressed, releasing cortisol that initiates the birth process.

I think it is between an elephant and a whale. Both carry for close to or about two years.

What was the longest lasting human pregnancy?

For a baby that was born alive it is 375 days beating second place by 58 days. The mother gave birth after this prodigious pregnancy at LA Methodist Hospital. Apparently at the end of her first trimester her pregnancy paused. There were no signs of life ie heartbeat movement development etc and then at six months the pregnancy resumed. Despite being pregnant for 375 days the baby was born at 6 lbs 15oz due to the fact that her pregnancy seemed to hit the pause button. This was a report in time magazine. The longest pregnancy in which the child did not survive is 46 years. A woman in India began contracting but refused to push and the contractions stopped. And the fetus settled into a cavity where it crystalized outside of the womb and was not detected until she was complaining of stomach pains in her 70s. Weirdest part was that she was not made sterile after the incident and still had children following since the baby crystallized outside the uterus leaving her reproductive organs undamaged.
