bear a son?

[maoyueh]

Is it correct to say "She bore a son last week", or "She will bear a son next week"?
Thank you a lot.

I've only met this expression (the 2nd) when reading the bible.
"She gave birth to a son last week." Is more natural and less archaic to say in my opinion.

Or just 'have'. Even if a woman already has a son, if she is pregnant and in her third trimester someone might say 'She's going to hospital to have a son'. 'Have' works ambiguously like that.
