If a woman gives birth to a child concieved in a marriage, can we say "She will deliver a baby from her husband."?

Ostap, please proofread your post. There seems to be a noun missing after the indefinite article.
I suppose you could say this, but it's not clear and doesn't sound at all natural. As it's written, we might even conjecture that she is a delivery agent and someone else is the recipient. Moreover ,this type of in-wedlock birth is usually not commented on. It would be more usual to hear that she will deliver a child whose father is not her husband. Of course I am making these remarks in a vacuum, as you've provided us with no context.

Sorry lef it out. I was not sure about the right preposition. Suppose a woman got married to a man. They've been living together. She got pregnant. So eventualy she gives birth to a baby from her husband. Is ''from" accurate in this context?

I still find the sentence a bit awkward, but from makes sense in this context.

I'd use 'by her husband'.

Even with the improvement of "by" instead of "from", I don't think it's a very natural sentence. More natural, for me, would be "She's going to have/having a baby by her husband/her husband's baby". Although, as riqhecohen said, "...this type of in-wedlock birth is usually not commented on."
