In Real Life, a human pregnancy lasts approximately nine months, give or take a couple weeks. The body's endocrine system has an incredible ability to regulate it and (with few exceptions) the duration of gestation is remarkably consistent. In media, this is not necessarily so. The process of pregnancy and birth can be abbreviated or skipped entirely. The pregnancy can also be drawn-out longer than the standard nine months. There are two reasons for this: Decompressed Storytelling: In some media, the events of one day may take months or years to unfold. Pregnancies that ostensibly last the standard nine months instead seem like they extend much longer. Comic-Book Time and Webcomic Time can make a pregnancy last years in real time; even the creators (let alone the readers) may be unsure how far along a woman is supposed to be in her pregnancy. A Schedule Slip can aggravate things further. This trope can sometimes lead to Offscreen Inertia if we never see the woman deliver or see her again. It can be Lampshaded or used as a Running Gag: the pregnant character may Lean on the Fourth Wall by complaining that she feels like she has carried this baby too long. Abnormally Long Pregnancy: The pregnancy explicitly lasts longer than the normal nine months. Obviously, this is not how it works in Real Life, but in fiction there may be reasons for it: a Mystical Pregnancy, Bizarre Alien Biology, a Half-Human Hybrid, Functional Magic, the flow of time turning weird, or other extraordinary circumstances. If this is framed as unnatural, hideous, or dangerous, it probably overlaps with Womb Horror or Fetus Terrible. If it is safe and natural within the setting, it is not terrifying, though it may be tedious for the expectant mother. Sub-Trope of Pregnancy Does Not Work That Way. Contrast Express Delivery. Compare and contrast Wring Every Last Drop out of Him, when a character is on the brink of death, but takes a long while to actually die. |

In Coal Miner's Daughter, Loretta Lynn announces her pregnancy to her best friend, Patsy Cline, shortly before Cline dies in a plane crash. Trouble is, the crash took place on March 5, 1963. The twins Lynn turns out to be expecting (one of whom was named in Cline's honor) were born August 6, 1964. That's at least a 17-month pregnancy. | |

In Gene Catlow, Tatavania has been pregnant with Michelle since 2003 (last seen in-comic: July 2011). Due to one of the more egregious abuses of Webcomic Time ever, that time span has only been a few months, in-story. Given the Schedule Slip generated by the death of creator Albert Temple, it may be years to go before Tatavania finally gives birth. | |

Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life: The game skips many years between chapters, but pregnant cows follow the in-game calendar. If a cow is impregnated near the end of a chapter, this can lead to a situation where your kid grows from a child to a teenager, which takes years, but the cow is still pregnant as ever. | |

In Kevin & Kell, although they generally work in Comic-Book Time, pregnancies tend to last on-par with real time: Kell was already heavily pregnant with Coney when the strip began in September 1995 and gave birth right before Halloween 1995. Danielle found out she was pregnant with Francis in late February 2006 and gave birth in early November 2006. Lindesfarne found out she was pregnant with Turvy in New Year's 2017 and gave birth slightly early in mid-August 2017. Granted, the stress of being the target of a terrorist group and the events of being rescued likely induced labor. |

Convergence: Justice League #1 opens with Supergirl bringing her to the hospital and Jesse giving birth to a healthy baby.

The Young and the Restless: Ashley was also pregnant for a full calendar year — and this was far more noticeable since unlike primetime shows, soaps don't take summer breaks. The writers feebly tried to downplay this Egregious error, claiming that due to soaps frequently wonky time frames (One Soap Opera day can last as long as a Real Life week, etc), not only was the time inaccurate but that Ashley probably wasn't pregnant long enough. | |

The 100: Diyoza is a strange example. The pregnancy is originally because the actress was pregnant while filming, and she comes on to the show in season 5 already about 5 months into her pregnancy. In the season 6 finale, we finally meet Hope, now an adult thanks to being in the anomaly. What makes this a particularly strange example is that, thanks to being in cryosleep, she's actually been pregnant for 234 years before finally giving birth. | |

Nightcrawler/Kurt's pregnancy in Nightcrawler's Burden is supposed to last for the usual nine months, yet each month takes up at least six chapters on average. Add to the fact that the last posted chapter was sometime in the second trimester, and that it hasn't been updated for over 10 years, makes it one of the slowest fanfiction pregnancies. | |

The Dungeons & Dragons fan sourcebook The Book of Erotic Fantasy gives details on the subject of reproduction for all the major player races, noting that elves have a gestation period of fully two years. It takes its inspiration from the long lifespans accorded to elves, dwarves, and gnomes, particularly how elves are said to be considered children for the first sixty years of their life in 2nd edition. It's a non-canon sourcebook, however, and there is no concrete answer given for how long such races actually carry for. | |

Farscape: Zig-zagged. Aeryn's species, Sebaceans, have the ability to effectively put a pregnancy into suspended animation early on. Since they're a genetically engineered from proto-humans Proud Warrior Race, this comes in handy as a female can get pregnant on-mission, hit the biological pause button, finish the mission, return home and gestate normally. The pregnancy can be held in stasis for up to seven years. However, once it's fully going it only takes days. | |

In The Sims 2, if you save and exit a household while a Sim is pregnant, she will remain at the stage of pregnancy she was at when you did so. So if you go into another household and have another male (or female) kid "grow" to be an adult while being there, they might meet the same woman, who was always pregnant since he (or she) was a child...

Notably averted in The Sims 3, however: there's an option to have the world continue around you while you play, so characters will grow up, grow old, get married, have kids, and die, and you might never know (unless you read the newspaper). | |

Back in The Sims 4 - if you leave your house and go on vacation, the baby will continue to grow inside, but it will remain firmly lodged in your baby-maker even up until you go into labour, until you get home, when it will drop out within minutes. | |

9 Chickweed Lane: Diane had been pregnant since June 2009 - a total padded out by the six-month Whole Episode Flashback that immediately succeeded that reveal. She finally gave birth in October 2011... after going into labor in August and having that padded out with another character's Journey to the Center of the Mind. | |

In Girl Genius, this is discussed: the (now dead) son of Lucrezia and Bill is named Klaus, after Bill's best friend who disappeared, who was also Lucrezia's lover before she married Bill. As Carson von Mekkhan takes pains to point out, he was born two years and three months after Klaus Wulfenbach's disappearance. Apparently half of Europa is still of the belief that he was Klaus and Lucrezia's child. | |

Sabrina Online: Amy was pregnant with her son Timmy from February 1997 to January 2000. Sabrina's pregnancy was roughly half as long: September 2016 to March 2018. In this case, this is Justified, as Danielle's conception was the end of the series proper, and stories about Sabrina's pregnancy and Danielle's birth were few and far between in that time. |

Lost: The cast and crew of Lampshaded this with Claire's pregnancy. The pregnancy itself is actually more of an aversion since she was eight months pregnant at the beginning of the series and gave birth late in the first season, which covered only about a month and a half of story time. However, in real life, about seven months passed until the birth episode finally aired. In an earlier-season-one question-and-answer session (which is viewable on the DVD set), someone in the audience asks if she is "ever" going to have the baby, to which they jokingly reply, "In season 3 — she actually gives birth to an adult!" | |

In Rome, Eirene tells Pullo of her pregnancy during historical events that occur around 42 B.C. Judging by other historical events, like the betrothal of Octavian and Livia, she is still pregnant in 39 or 38 B.C. This is reportedly due to the show's Cancellation and the necessary rewriting of the last few scripts which stuff about 15 years of history into eight episodes. | |

Star Trek: Debt of Honor: The stardate given puts the main action in 2289, but it also seems to take place in the same year as the Gillian Taylor scenes, during which Gracie the whale births the first humpback whale calf to be born on Earth in two centuries. Star Trek IV takes place in 2284, but a humpback whale's gestation period is only 11 months, so somebody done goofed.note In Star Trek: The Original Series stardates were inconsistent at best, but by Star Trek: The Next Generation (which had completed its fifth season when this comic was published) they had been nailed down significantly more. | |

In The Wheel of Time, Elayne gets pregnant in the ninth novel, Winter's Heart, published in 2000. She immediately finds out about the pregnancy due to Min's viewings of the future, leading to a bunch of maids and midwives fawning over her when she's barely showing. When the final novel is published in 2013, she's still pregnant, only six months along. This also happens with Melaine, whose pregancy was first revealed in Lord of Chaos in 1994, and she never gave birth by the final novel after almost two decades of real time had passed. | |

In Lanfeust, the Queen of Darshan has been pregnant for 15 months when first seen. Discovering the reason for the unusual length is a minor plot point. The culprit is the darshanide Goddess of Pleasure, who wanted to punish the King for not giving the Queen an orgasm when conceiving the baby. The moment the heroes confront the goddess and mention that the Queen is the one truly suffering, she lifts the curse and the Queen instantly gives birth to a son. | |

One Piece: The father of the protagonist's older brother, Portgas D. Ace, is an extremely notorious criminal (none other than Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates). He's so notorious that The Government is out for blood on all his descendants. The man's girlfriend/baby's mother, Portgas D. Rouge, delays her child's birth for at least 20 months through sheer willpower alone. When the baby is born the birth father, having been executed, has been dead for a year and 3 months, making it pretty much impossible to establish their connection. This spares the child's life, but costs their mother hers, and she barely manages to entrust the baby to Luffy's grandfather Garp, who also was Roger's Worthy Opponent. The world at large doesn't find out until the child is in their 20s — and has been located and captured by the Marines, who reveal it openly while "exhibiting" the now-grown child as a prisoner. | |

Saturday Night Live: This is lampshaded in a Weekend Update skit. When Tina Fey mentions that Kate Hudson gave birth to her son, she did so after 15 months of pregnancy (Hudson's pregnancy wasn't exceptionally long, but she was in the middle of promoting a couple of movies, so the large number of photos and interviews of her very happily pregnant made it seem longer than it was.) | |

Drowtales: Word of God says that Nei'kalsa Tion Sarghress is pregnant during this scene, which was published during December 2007. While only a few months passed in story until a 15-year timeskip in October 2011, this means she was pregnant for almost four years of real time. Even knowing that drow are Fae and therefore have Human Outside, Alien Inside, that's still pushing it. Mel'arnach also has a bit of this, since she's shown as heavily pregnant in a chapter published in March 2012 and was shown to have given birth a few days prior in July 2013. Though only a few days passed in story this means she was pregnant for 16 months of real time. |

Väinämöinen, the Finnish hero-god, was carried in his sky-goddess mother's womb for centuries before she finally gave birth note In Finnish mythology, she was pregnant for at least 700 years before she created the land, sun, moon, and stars, and then continued to be pregnant for several centuries more until she finally gave birth, whilst in The Kalevala, it's stated he was trapped inside her womb for a 730-year pregnancy. Because of his prolonged gestation, he was born a fully mature adult with a long, flowing Wizard Beard and hair, all of it stark white. | |

Little House on the Prairie: While most characters on the show announced their pregnancy and gave birth in the same episode, Laura's pregnancy lasted almost a year in real time. In "I Do Again", which aired in March 1981, she announces she's pregnant. She doesn't have her baby until a February 1982 episode. Worse, during the time between her discovering her pregnancy and her daughter's birth, the Ingalls adopt a couple of siblings, James and Cassandra Cooper, and later when their great-uncle comes to try and get their custody, it's said it's been almost a year since they were adopted, and Laura is still pregnant (and that's not counting the time they spent trying to find a family to adopt the Coopers and the period they spent with the Thompkins family before they found that the patriarch was abusive). | |

In The Sandman (1989), Hippolyta Hall stays pregnant for about two years while trapped in a dream/nightmare with her dead husband Hector, and only gives birth once Dream releases her. The Meta element to this is that Hippolyta and Hector were C-list DC heroes from the '80s comic Infinity, Inc., and she was pregnant at the point that the series was canceled in 1988. If Neil Gaiman hadn't appropriated the characters, she could conceivably have been pregnant indefinitely while not being featured in any comic. | |

Inheritance Cycle features Elain, who may be anywhere from seven to fourteen months pregnant at the end of the third book. She was pregnant in the first book, and more than a year passed between then and the third book, in which someone mentions that Elain's kid is overdue. She finally gives birth to a daughter in book four. | |

Sim Series: In The Sims 2, if you save and exit a household while a Sim is pregnant, she will remain at the stage of pregnancy she was at when you did so. So if you go into another household and have another male (or female) kid "grow" to be an adult while being there, they might meet the same woman, who was always pregnant since he (or she) was a child... Reality-Breaking Paradox! Notably averted in The Sims 3, however: there's an option to have the world continue around you while you play, so characters will grow up, grow old, get married, have kids, and die, and you might never know (unless you read the newspaper). Back in The Sims 4 - if you leave your house and go on vacation, the baby will continue to grow inside, but it will remain firmly lodged in your baby-maker even up until you go into labour, until you get home, when it will drop out within minutes. |

Family Guy: Bonnie is pregnant for the show's first six seasons. Even though the show runs on Comic-Book Time, since none of the other kids have aged at all, it's frequently Lampshaded by other characters, since it took ten years of real time for her to give birth in the episode "Ocean's Three and a Half". | |

ABCs of Death 2 involves a woman who has been pregnant for 13 years, aided by “Portlock Root�. The really disturbing part? The fetus is seemingly fully formed and can talk. It is not a pretty sight. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: Ensign Samantha Wildman is pregnant before the events of the pilot episode. She doesn't give birth to Naomi until midway through Season 2. Since her husband (who's still in the Alpha Quadrant) is a Ktarian and the baby is a Half-Human Hybrid, this gets explained by the Bizarre Alien Biology. Ironically, once born, her daughter grows up really fast. | |

Sanctuary: Due to a combination of factors, Henry's pregnant girlfriend can't give birth without a huge risk to herself. Magnus figures out a way to reduce this risk by slowing the development of the fetus, but it also means she will be pregnant for a little under two years. Played with in the case of Magnus herself. Thanks to what essentially amounts to immortality, she discovers a way to remove her fetus and keep it "on ice" until she's ready to have the child in modern times. Ashley is understandably freaked out to learn that not only was she conceived almost a century ago, but that her father is also the man who became Jack the Ripper. |

How I Met Your Mother: Explicitly Defied. Although Lily becomes pregnant in "Challenge Accepted", the sixth season finale (which aired in May 2011), that episode was actually set in September 2011, a couple weeks before Punchy's wedding (which took place in the seventh season premiere, aired September 2011) and she conceived the night of Hurricane Irene (August 27, 2011). Instead of just implying it, the writers take pains to make sure this timing is mentioned in canon: Ted breaks up with Zoey in "Landmarks", the second-to-last episode of season six, and in "Challenge Accepted", mentions that he and Zoey had been broken up for a few months, not the week or so that had elapsed between the two episodes. Lily actually gives birth in the Season 7 finale, which takes place nine months after the season premiere. | |

Gone with the Wind: If you measure the passage of time by historic The American Civil War battles, it turns out that Melanie is pregnant for about 21 months. (This error does not happen in the book.) | |

In Friends, Rachel is pregnant for at least fifteen months, being already pregnant at Chandler and Monica's wedding (May 15, 2001) and going on maternity leave in August 2002. On the flipside, both Carol and Phoebe were pregnant for about 20 weeks, or about half of what a normal pregnancy is. Phoebe's could be partially justified in that multiple births tend to have shorter gestation periods than single births, but the triplets were explicitly shown to be healthy when they were born, so this was more of a math error than anything, and because of how the show was shot (with most of the new seasons coming in right when the old ones left off) this was hardly the first example of the timeline being off. No wonder Rachel was in such a bad mood at the end of her pregnancy. | |

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn: At the end, it is noted that Ena gives birth to Rajaion's child, despite no pregnancy being mentioned before. The father in question had died three years prior, and the mother had presumably been kept away from him for at least an additional year besides. She also mentions that he had left their homeland 19 years before the climax of Path of Radiance, and the condition he was in when she was near him after that left her getting pregnant then... unlikely, to say the least. A slight twist in that both Ena and Rajaion are Dragon Laguz, and while this isn't explicitly shown to happen with any other dragon laguz they are notoriously long-lived (the paternal grandfather, Dheginsea, is known to be at the very least in his ninth century of life and doesn't look particularly ancient), so it's possible, although this does raise questions about the pregnancy of the child's paternal aunt Almedha, which was by all accounts not nearly as long. (To be fair, said paternal aunt consorted with a human and not with a Dragon, so their child was a Half-Human Hybrid.) | |
