Dreaming about a birth that is not yours
What does it mean to dream about someone giving birth?
Reported by people who are pregnant, people who are not, and people who cannot be, which is the first thing to establish, because the assumption otherwise runs the reading.
Accounts vary enormously in whose birth it is and whether the dreamer is participant or witness. What recurs is the aftermath rather than the event: reports dwell on holding, or on the child being taken elsewhere, more than on the birth itself.
The traditional reading of birth as "new beginnings" is a cultural interpretation, labelled as such on this site. It is not a finding.
Where this reads well
Frequently emotionally strong in a way people find worth recording, whatever they make of it.
Where it is harder
Not a pregnancy indicator, and not a prediction. Dreams do not have access to that information.
Worth asking yourself
Whose birth was it? Was I present or involved?
Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
