Can there be a possibility, that the baby can be born, without catching the virus or disease?

It depends: Depending on the illness you are asking about, many babies will be born disease free even if the mother is currently infected. Breastfeeding can also protect babies from viruses via passive antibody protection through the milk. This question really depends on what illness is present.
