To say your wife delivered a baby, you can use simple phrases like "My wife gave birth," "She had a baby," or "We welcomed our baby," or more celebratory announcements like "Introducing our new baby, [Name]!" or "It's a boy/girl! [Name] arrived on [Date]". The best choice depends on who you're telling and the tone you want to set (formal, casual, emotional).
(1) ``my mom delivered a baby'' - Present meaning = my mother is a midwife and she helped in the birth of a baby. Old-fashioned meaning = my mother gave birth (to a baby boy/girl/twins/etc.) The example is very old-fashioned and nowadays, it is very rarely heard. I suggest you do not use it.

A simple “Congratulations!” is a great place to start. You can make it more personal by adding something specific, like, “I'm so happy for your family — your baby is absolutely precious!” If you're close to the parents, acknowledge the hard work they've put in with a comment like, “I'm so proud of you.
Listen to the person non-judgmentally. Give the person reassurance, tell them them that they will get better as they take steps to recovery, and remind them they will have good days and not so good days. That you will be there to help them through this hard time.
