Generally speaking, the larger the animal, the longer the gestation period. A baby must grow from two cells to many billions before it is sufficiently developed to live on its owe. That takes quite a while.

The gestation period in most Great Apes lasts between eight and nine months. So if the gestation time has been increasing since our divergence from them, it has not been by much. It is however conceivable that the increased complexity of our central nervous system and the increased size of our cranium has added a week or so to the average gestation time.
