[Avodah] length of pregnancy

In a recent daf yomi (Nidah 38a) Rav Yehuda claims that birth occurs after
rosh chodesh of the 9th month.
Shmuel disagrees and says that a birth can occur only after 271,272 or 273
days.

Any explanations of either shitah? ie how does bet din declaring Rosh
Chodesh affect the woman (presumably only Jewish women)
and how Shmuel can say there are no early or late deliveries
