Not really. Read the Gospel According to Matthew! She went with Joseph to his ancestral home to give birth.

But they had no relatives there so they ended up in a stable. That's... odd.

Lighten up Francis. It was a joke.

she don’t go there to give birth. They went because the Romans required it for the census. She was pregnant and gave birth while there.

Actually, it is only St. Luke who mentions their trip to Bethlehem and that there was no room for them in the inn. From St. Matthew’s Gospel you would assume they already lived in Bethlehem.
