Note
A regular form doing double duty: one spelling serves the simple past (she birthed twins) and the participle after have or be (has birthed, was birthed). The verb behind it is transitive, so it takes an object. In the literal use that object is a child. In the figurative use, where it means to produce or give rise to, the object is a movement, an idea or a wave of programs.
