How Long Can A Baby Survive Inside The Womb?
ok so if a woman is pregnant, and shes supposed to give birth, but cant for some reason, and the baby just stays inside her, what happens? does she die, does the womans body reabsorb the baby? and what happens to the baby? how long can a baby live inside a woman if she never gives birth?

Hi, I have understood your concern.
Basically nature has its own mechanism.
Usually after 40 weeks if pregnancy, labour process starts .
Strong contractions of the muscles of the uterus push the baby out of mother's body through birth canal.
So eventually baby comes out of mothers body. It can not remain in side or ddoesn't get dissolved or absorbed into mother's body.
I hope this answer helps you. Thanks
