You can simply subtract 9 or add 3 to the month number. If you want to verify, break out your hands and get counting months. Start with no fingers raised for November, then raise a finger every month you count, and see where you get to when you have 9.
Wait fuck does that include the first month
A duration is going to include the starting and ending months. Do a very simple example: January (1) to February (2) is one month (2 - 1 = 1).
If you feel silly for messing this up, don’t. Off by one errors are incredibly common. I always count them out just to double check em myself.
But doesn’t the 9 months of pregnancy technically start on the first day since a woman’s last period? That’s what makes anti-abortion laws even more absurd, because you can be 8 weeks pregnant if you only had sex 5 weeks ago.
TL;DR: it’s actually November.
