No. As marsupials, kangaroo babies (joeys) develop for only a short time in the mother's uterus, compared to the time they spend in the pouch.

There are over 60 species of kangaroos, and gestation ranges from 19 days for the tiny musky rat-kangaroo to about 33-36 days for the kargest species, the red kangaroo. Most of the development of the joey occurs in the pouch, after birth. Young musky rat kangaroo joeys spend about 21 weeks in the pouch, while red kangaroo joeys spend an average of 9 months in the pouch.
