46 Years Pregnant

While I feel I may be pregnant forever I saw an episode on the Discovery Channel about a woman who was pregnant for 46 years. And if its on the Discovery Channel it must be real, right? 

The woman was from a small tribe in Morocco who became pregnant in 1955. She refused to have a Cesarean and had labor pains for a few days before they completely subsided. She figured her baby went to sleep. She then decided not to taken any action until her baby "woke up." Of course, she never had any more children but adopted 3 and raised them like her own. 
...46 years later...
The now 75 year old woman starts complaining about abdominal pain and after multiple doctor visits finally finds out she has a mass inside of her. It was her baby that "went to sleep," a full term baby which attached to her organs and died becoming entombed inside of her for 46 years.
Here is a picture of the mass they removed from her:
