how do you say it?

If a female animal's been pregnant for 10 months...

If you're talking about a human, then the word would be 'overdue'.

If you're talking about an elephant, then it would be 'not quite half done'.

I guess this is my question:
Is it right to say that that she-camle for example is pregnant in the 10th month?

It would probably be said that she's 10 months along in her pregnancy.

Or she is ten months pregnant.

Could you tell me how to use "with young"? Thanks in advance.

A female bear with young is one of the most dangerous animals in nature.

"With young" just means "accompanied by offspring", i.e., a bear and her cubs.

In humans, "she is with child" is a delicate (and old-fashioned) way to say "she's pregnant". Similar euphemistic terms are "she's expecting", "she's in a family way", "she has a bun in the oven", etc.
