Ambiguity.
You mean in the last scene of Macbeth? I guess since Macduff was the only one who could defeat Macbeth, it is a good thing that he showed up before Macbeth defeated all the rest of the army who were "born of woman".
Macbeth could have tried to seek guidance and counsel from trusted advisors or friends to help him navigate his ambitions. He could have also practiced self-reflection and restraint, understanding the consequences of his actions before committing to them. Furthermore, Macbeth could have focused on appreciating what he already had rather than constantly striving for more power and control.
At the start of the play, before meeting the witches, Macbeth is still loyal to Duncan. The forces of Norway and the rebel Macdonwald (whom he kills in battle) could be considered his adversaries at this point in the play. After he meets the witches and begins to entertain thoughts of regicide, anyone who stands between him and power becomes his adversary (Duncan, Malcolm, Banquo, Macduff...) One could probably make an argument as to why Lady Macbeth might be considered Macbeth's adversary as well.
After killing Duncan, Macbeth could not sleep. He feels the guilt and is terrified
The prophecy that none of woman born could harm Macbeth. Macbeth wasn't to know that by a technicality, Macduff wasn't "of woman born".
Macbeth wishes the knocking at the gate could wake Duncan from his sleep after he murders him, so he could continue to act innocent.
Macbeth's character is so corrupted that he could not redeem himself even if he tried.

The "bloody baby" in Macbeth is a supernatural apparition that Macbeth encounters during the play. It warns Macbeth to be wary of Macduff, stating that Macbeth should fear him. The bloody baby is one of the many supernatural elements in the play that contribute to its dark and eerie atmosphere.
