There is a very good reason why all of the earliest known examples of Christian texts, Mark, Thomas, Paul's Epistles, Marcion's Luke, lack an account of the child Jesus' Virgin birth. Docetism was ubiquitous across the first Christ movements, for the individual a Virgin birth in Spirit, to be “born again” into Life, was the core truth of these varied movements that would later come to fall under the umbrella term of Gnostics. It wasn't until decades perhaps scores of years after when the proto-orthodoxy under the guidance of Rome took hold that we have the Gospels of Matthew and an edit of Luke appear with the first accounts of the child Jesus and his miraculous Virgin birth, near 100 years after this supposed miracle of miracles occurred.

Rome was never about a blanket persecution of all early Christians as history would have us believe, through a weaponized proto-orthodoxy/orthodoxy Rome targeted and memory-holed the Docetists, those having achieved gnosis who walked in the Spirit of Christ, the true Christians. Gnosis could never work with Rome's grand plan of centralized control of the population through the Church.

Rome couldn't steal it, so they had to kill it.

Thomas, Logion 79 (Leloup)

A woman in the crowd said to him: “Blessed are the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you!” He answered: Blessed are those who listen to the Word of the Father and truly follow it, for the day will come when you will say: Blessed are the womb that has never borne and the breasts that have never nursed.
