I’ve heard that a baby that’s been gestating for a much longer time than 9 months literally wouldn’t fit through the birth canal due to the physical limitation of the width of the mother’s hips. The baby would have to be either artificially gestated (which is some real sci-fi shit, like you’re saying) or the mother would require a C-section, which is generally pretty high-risk and has a 6-month recovery period.
Huh? Csections arent high risk if they are planned, they become high risk when they are an emergency solution to a problem natural birth. Also the recovery period is 4-8 weeks
Full recovery from an incision that cuts through the abdominal muscles will always take longer than the initial recovery period. Keep in mind that most of us can’t just take 6 months off of work, so a lot of recommendations from doctors and surgeons are cognizant of that reality.
The limiting factor in utero is the health of the placenta. Past a certain point, the organ no longer functions and the baby does not survive. This is why (at least in the US) inductions are required past a certain point.
