Misleading title ping.
The baby was 8 months old....in utero. I will admit the author of this story should have made that more clear in the title.
Actually, what is misleading is the tradition of counting the first day out of the womb as “day one,” when in fact the child has been living and growing in the womb for many months.
Tradition is often conveniently deceptive.
It’s like the claim that WW2 started the day the US had declared war, or the assertion that the Gulf War began the day the US drove Iraq from Kuwait in Op Desert Storm , when in fact WW2 had been going on for years, and the Gulf War really began when Iraq invaded Kuwait, before we deployed a single soldier.
