Trans men give birth, non-binary AFAB trans people give birth.

That said, I would imagine saying just mothers or if you want to be especially careful you could say “anyone who gave birth.”

That said, I would call it being inclusive and/or polite. Your phrasing makes it sound like you are trying to use rightwing buzz words.
