In some religious traditions perhaps. This would be understood as "ritually unclean" and not in any way related to sin. For example, if a man touches blood, even his own, he may be "ritually unclean" until he performs some ritual or until enough time passes. Completely outside of religious contexts, I don't think there is any sense in which uncleanness automatically follows childbirth. It is also entirely unclear how this concept of uncleanness can have any meaning today, even in the context of religion.
