Most scholars believe Jesus was born around 6 BC, and Mary could easily be pregnant and have to begin traveling to Bethlehem in 7 BC and give birth in 6 BC.
Wait...how could jesus be born in 6 BC? BC stands for "Before Christ". If he was born in 6 BC, wouldn't that, by definition, make the year he was born 1 DC (during christ)?
And your travelling thing doesn't work either. Since jesus was born in December -the 25th- mary would not have been pregnant until april of the same year. Unless her pregnancy was a year long, there is no way she could travel in 7 BC while pregnant and not give birth until 6 BC.
Contradictions abound!!
