[Grammar] give a birth to / give birth to

[wotcha]

I know we normally say 'give birth to'.

Is it possible to say 'give a birth to' then?

Hi,

I don't know whether it's possible or not, but I have certainly never heard it.

Stick to what you know we normally say, wotcha.

COCA has 999 examples of give birth. The only example with the article was for someone who refused to give a birth date when asked. As that's not an example of what you're looking for, you can safely say that sticking to the form everyone uses is a good plan.
