Dear User-RHS,
A response from Dr. Tom Pullum:
Quote:

Even the durations given in the calendars would not be very useful. I think they will almost always be nine months for live births, and that's because, after a month of birth is given, the nine months before that are assigned to pregnancy. There should be variation for pregnancy terminations other than live births, but I would not have a lot of confidence in the stated durations.
