Close enough though Amardeep, and besides, at the time the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji was written, there was probably baby's being born on the 10 month, it could possibly even be the ideal time anyways.

I don't think it's a good idea to point out or put the guru under scrutiny like this.

Just a suggestion.

Dear Brother Amardeep ji


First I would like to deal with your query about the Birth of child

Normal gestation period of Human is 280 days in case of normal pregnancy which exactly comes out to be 9 months and 7 days

And it means that child should always be born in the 10 month ( after completion of 9 month)

I hope this would solve your query

Now dear brother I would like to advise you with help pf my little brain and understanding given by the Akal
that Gurbani is not meant to be taken as literal wriring which you keep on trying and testing with scientific beleifs instead the mesage given should be contemplated

This also differentiate us fron muslim veiw of literal interpretation of turah , kuran
And also such physiologic processes in human body do undergo changes with period of time ( several hundered years ) just for example the age of sexual maturity has changed significantly over the last few decade

Dan Guru Granth Sahib talks to human soul/spirit and not the human body as understood by me

I could be wrong in my views and suggestions so just take what ever you like ans leave the rest

May Akal bless You

this is easily sorted by considering whether talking about lunar or solar months. lunar months 28 days, solar are longer. in these terms it is in the 10th month

thanks for your answers...
well if a woman is pregnant for 9 months and 7 days, then the quote should be scienticicaly correct..

there are two ways on reading a script..
the spiritual way where u read the message in the text.

and the theorotical way where u analyse the text..

All can explain it.

Sikhs have an implicit faith in science.

Total pregnancy is 40 weeks as per gestational age method, week one begins with the first day of mother's menstrual period....that makes it 10 months. Even if we leave 2 weeks before the day of conception, still the full-term baby is born in 10th month, after completeing 9 months.
