I think so.

Modern statistics say that full-term pregnancy takes 280 days. There are 28 days per lunar month. Full-term pregnancy takes 10 lunar months.

Luke 1:

56Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
Mary left Elizabeth during Elizabeth's 9th lunar month of pregnancy, one month before John was born.

57 When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son.
