Abergoat offers:
The general consensus (form OoP's information on when she started
teaching) it is thought that she may have given the prophecy the
October before Harry and Neville were born. So Lily and Alice may not
have even known they were pregnant yet.

Abergoat writes:
I think that is an interesting take. That prophecy could mean just
about anything given that Dumbledore himself says prophecies are
meaningless until someone acts on them.
