A calf doesn't grow in a mother cow's stomach. It grows in her womb or uterus. And cows are fully capable of being able to lactate (give milk) while a fetus is growing in her womb, and it's always to feed the last calf she gave birth to. A cow, however, will eventually stop milk production when her calf is weaned from her several months before she gives birth to her next calf.

How are dolphins born and what is the process of their birth like?
Dolphins are born live, not from eggs. The mother dolphin carries her baby for about 12 months before giving birth. When the time comes, the mother dolphin will typically give birth to her calf tail first, near the water's surface. The calf is born with a thin layer of skin covering its eyes, which helps protect them from the saltwater. The mother dolphin will then help guide her calf to the surface for its first breath of air. The calf is usually able to swim and keep up with its mother shortly after birth.

If the cow has dried up already, you may have a calf that is close to death in your hands. However you must try to save it. Give it powdered colostrum mixed with water (whatever the directions say on the package), and tube-feed it to the calf. Give the colostrum as often as your local veterinarian recommends, which may be every two to three hours. Good luck!
