Alexander the Great died either June 10 or 11 323 BC (wikipedia Alexander the Great (Greek: Αλέξανδρος ο Μέγας or Μέγας Aλέξανδρος,[1][2] Megas Alexandros; July 20, 356 BC – June 10, 323 BC),[
and his son Alexander IV was born in August 323 BC (weikipedia Alexander IV was born in August, 323 BC.)

Couldn't find how many months.

Roxane was pregnant when Alexander died. It is possible that Barsine was also pregnant, which may explain why Roxane dealt with Barsine so ruthlessly. After Alexander's death Roxane sent a letter to the Persian princess in Alexander's name, bidding Barsine to come at once to Babylon. When Barsine and her sister Drypetis arrived in Babylon, Roxane had them murdered and their bodies cast into a well. Roxane gave birth to a son, Alexander Aegus, who became King Alexander IV. Alexander the Great's retarded half brother, Arridaeus, was his nephew's co-king until Olympias had Arridaeus murdered. One of Alexander's generals, Perdiccas, was the kings' first regent.


Alexander the Great - Wives :

Alexander the Great had three wives: Roxane, Statiera, and Parysatis.
Alexander the Great - Children :
Herakles, son of Alexander's mistress Barsine
Alexander IV, son of Roxane
Both children were killed before they reached adulthood.
