Child remaining in the womb of the mother for more than 9 months

Q: In Behishti zewar theres one masala that states that if a husband passes away and then after a year the lady gives birth to a child, it will be attributed to him (she didnt get married again at all after his passing). Conception happens a few days as afterwards the nutfah dies and conception is only 9 to 10 months.

Is it normal for a mother to carry an offspring for 12 months?

A: There are examples in history where the child remained in the womb for more than nine months.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
