Anyway shaa... I haven't heard of five years but I have heard of one whole calender year, two years and even 3 years. But five years?? Mehn... Now that's really super spooky. smiley


Normally what causes these "overdue" pregnancies is thyroid dysfunction (more like hypothyroidism) as it adversely affects a lady's menstrual cycle (making a lady's cyle come so late... Some far later than others) and her reproductive system as a whole.

Also abnormal progesterone and estrogen levels could play a role.


On a flip note... Some of these as seen in Africa are "highly spiritual" indeed but not too far from the scientific explanations of hypothyroidism.

When the article said the oldest pregnancy is just over a year nko? , Where do we put the women that 'miraculously' deliver after years of pregnancy.

In Nigeria it all boils down to religion. Imagine giving a testimony on how God delivered her of a pregnancy of five years. Shouldn't the intellectuals in the medical field have jumped on this and present a research paper on such an amazing phenomenon? If not that I'm quite busy right now, I would have posted links of no less than 3 cases of ridiculously lenghty pregnancies that never left the pages of Nigerian blogs.

cool Nature has one over-riding central theme: REPRODUCTION. Pregnancy is one of the manifestations of the reproductive drive. Nature considers the passing on of genes as the most vital process of life. Many have wondered why living things die. The primary reason is that nature does not give a fvck (pardon my French) about longevity. If it did, we would all live forever. cool

No 1 is anecdotal. Most of the prolonged pregnancies were not confirmed in the early stages: most women just assume NO MENSES MEANT PREGNANCY! Duration of a pregnancy leading to delivery of a live baby is usually less than a year.
