In Luke's Gospel, the young couple travelled from Nazareth to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. Once Luke tells of the census of Quirinius as the reason for their journey, he never again mentions it, and we therefore have no clue as to when it took place or over how long a period - this is a census of which there is no historical record or precedent in Roman history. However, the fact that all the rooms in the inn were taken, means that others were still arriving for the census and Mary was probably a late arrival. If the birth had not taken place and was not imminent by the time of the census, they would surely have returned immediately to their home in Nazareth for the birth. Thus, they must have arrived not long before the birth of Jesus. That they had no other business in Bethlehem is demonstrated by their decision to leave Bethlehem after the birth and the purification of Mary, and return immediately to Nazareth. So, in Luke's Gospel, Mary would not have been in Bethlehem very long before the birth of Jesus.
