It would bring skaikru closer and Octavia would have more responsibility. She was the first to step on earth therefore she should be the first to have a child. It would probably start conflict between who the father is or the fact that she was stabbed and has been through a lot. I'm saying that if she was, It'd be a miracle and a blessing that her child is ok and alive.Octavia deserves this, if it is Lincoln's baby. She wouldn't feel as empty without him because a little piece of him is with her. I highly doubt anything like that would happen. First of Jason already confirmed that their will be no children in the upcoming season, however it would be cool if he said that to mislead us and there were kids.

Second since there was a timeskip the kid would be 5-6 years old now, so unless they do flashbacks of the bunker we probably would just see her as a mother.

Third I don't really think we need Octavia to have a baby to bring her closer. Since she is the leader of the bunker crew she should be neutral and not show favoritism towards anyone clan

Fifth just because she was the first person to step foot on the ground doesn't mean she should be the first person to have a baby. It is also very possible that someone else who came down had a baby beating Octavia to the punch.

Sixth if they do incorporate a baby story arc I hope they don't do the conflict of who is the father. Since it's the apocalypse it'd be next to impossible to figure it out. Also I'd rather they focus more on survival than turn the show into who is the father. Also when Octavia was stabbed she would have only been a few weeks 2 months at the most so there probably wouldn't have been any trauma to make it a miracle baby.

In conclusion this is a show about people surviving the apocalypse it shouldn't always be sunshine and roses for our heroes. A baby would definitely be a ray of hope that the group needs, but I think Madi is and should be that ray of hope.
