Just to paraphrase:
If the sponsor is a U.S. Citizen, they may petition for the following foreign national relatives to immigrate to the U.S:
Preference Categories
If you wish to immigrate as a relative of a U.S. Citizen or lawful permanent resident, you must obtain an immigrant visa number based on the preference category in which you fall.
People who want to become immigrants are classified into categories based on a preference system. The immediate relatives of U.S. citizens, which includes parents, spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21, do not have to wait for an immigrant visa number to become available once the visa petition filed for them is approved by USCIS. An immigrant visa number will become immediately available. The relatives in the remaining categories must wait for an immigrant visa number to become available according to the following preferences:

unborn child
I am filing a I-130 for my brother and his family. He has a 4 years old son and his wife is pregnant. If i include his name, his wife's, and son there's a chance (since its taking in nearly all 4 th preference cases around 9-10m years) that a visa number becomes available and they can all get their GC before his son is 18. My question is what about the unborn child? It will not be born before 7-8 month from now and i want to file very soon. Does anybody know if i can add its name to the petition afterwards?

You can not list the unborn child on I-130. Go ahead and file the petition with information you currently have (your brother, his wife and their 4 year old kid). Once you receive the receipt and child is born, send Service Center a copy of Receipt ( I beleive its form I-797) and copy of new born child's birth certificate. Its better if you also inclue copies of Father and Mother's birth certificates too. Good luck
