Woman says she was 17 months pregnant and wants to get in the record book
Hunan Province resident Wang Shi wants to enter the Book of Records: she claims to have been no less than 17 months pregnant.
According to the young woman, she would have become pregnant in February 2015 and thus would give birth in November of the same year. However, the baby was only born in August this year! She claims that her placenta was underdeveloped, so her son was slow to arrive.
She says that with her husband, she went to the hospital often and that, even being in the 14th month of pregnancy, doctors said she should wait, since the fetus was not developed.
To date, the longest pregnancy ever documented belongs to an American named Beulah Hunter, who in 1945 had a baby after 375 days, 100 more than in a normal pregnancy.
After 517 days of gestation, Wang Shi says she wants to be part of the Guinness book, but many doctors dispute her claims. According to a hospital official, they asked her to undergo an ultrasound, but the girl reportedly declined, saying that since February of the previous year her period would have stopped.
Another doctor involved in the case claims they never saw any evidence to suggest that she was 17 months pregnant, not even records of her first appointments.
Yes, it seems that we are now vaccinated against "pregnant Taubaté".
