Even then you would not get the first baby for at least 9 months. After that you would get one baby every month circa, but just as with most software development situations you can't speed up the first baby growth by throwing more people at it.

#9Also, 9 women can't make a baby at all without a man.
So, instead of 9 people with similar abilities, it's better to have 2 people whose abilities complement each other.
