The Bible is a mystical text, especially, the torah or first 5 books.
Just as a man must shed ego to become enlightened, a woman must "give birth" to become enlightened. What the Bible it saying is that the women in Abraham's line were not enlightened. How could he exist, if none of them had had children?
As with men, it takes many years of study and life experiences to achieve enlightenment. Woman, for the most part, do not become wise until after menopause, or the old crone stage of life. (This grand stage of spiritual achievement was later demonized into being witches and devil worship.)
So, "giving birth" is not necessarily a physical thing.
Giving birth is also a major milestone in a woman's spiritual achievement.

Thanks alot for the links maat! The video of the giants was great, but they could have done without the end scene of Indiana Jones HAHA.
Interesting Nventer, I have wondered if pregnancy might be somewhat mentaly reliant. It would have to be at any stage i suppose, but maybe some mind frames stunt the ability to impregnate.

There is also great symbolism when it comes to the sex of the child that is born. While the Virgin Mary gave birth to a boy or male child, Mary Magdalene gave birth to a girl or female child.
The male child is physical and historically lives/d, works, and changes this world. The female child is archetypical and works within the ethers, and thus declares to those in the know that this woman is/was a prophet.
