Macbeth interpreted it as meaning "having a mother", which meant the same as being a human being. But in fact it meant "being delivered in the usual way" as opposed to by Caesarian section.

How does the 3rd prophecy about someone of women born come true?

In Shakespeare's Macbeth, the witches prophecy to Macbeth that he cannot be killed by any man born of a woman. Macbeth takes this to mean that he is safe from violence. It is later revealed to him that "Macduff was from his mother's womb untimely ripped," meaning that Macduff was not "born" in the strict sense.

Why does Macbeth not want to fight Macbeth?

Macbeth didn't want to fight Macduff, because he didn't want to add any more bloodied casualties to the Fife Castle massacre body count. In Act 4 Scene 2, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] had Macduff's entire family and household massacred at the Macduffs' home of Fife Castle. In Act 5 Scene 8, Macduff finally caught up with Macbeth and challenged him to fight. Macbeth didn't want to fight for two reasons. The reason that he didn't reveal was the witches' warning to beware of Macduff. The reason that he did reveal was the weight on his soul from having ordered the Fife Castle massacre.
