So if a couple can have a baby in 9 months, 9 couples can have a baby in a month?

We will deliver one baby per month, yes.

No, you can have 9 babies in 9 months, but you won't have 1 baby in 1 month.

Create one baby in 9 months. Without loss of generality, assume a spherical baby. Every following month, use Banach-Tarski to turn one baby into two. Repeat exponentially for 2^n babies in month n+9.
