    When she delivered a daughter, Penny Diana Hunter, in 1945, the child appeared absolutely normal. This shocked her doctor, who stated that Hunter's last menstrual period had been a staggering 375 days ago. An average pregnancy is 280 days, making this an extra three months that Hunter carried her daughter in the womb.May 11, 2017

    Our son was three weeks past due. He was too lazy to be born on time, my wife was scheduled to be induced the next day.
