IMO, it sounds more like the second part of the description is telling the origin on the Soul owner. Pretty much how they handle the 4Kings soul description on the second paragraph.
Bequeathed Lord Soul Shard.
"Soul of one of the Four Kings, who fell to Dark. A fragment of a Lord Souls discovered at the dawn of the Age of Fire.
Lord Gwyn recognized the foresight of these four great leaders of New Londo, and granted them their ranks and the fragments of a great soul. Although this is not a full Lord Soul, it can still satiate the Lord Vessel."
Now back to the BoC Lord Soul for further analyze:
Lord Soul.
"Soul of the Bed of Chaos and the mother of all demons. This Lord Soul was found at the dawn of the Age of Fire.
The Witch of Izalith attempted to duplicate the First Flame from a soul, but instead created a distorted being of chaos and fire. Its power formed a bed of life which would become the source for all demons, and is more than enough to satiate the Lordvessel."
It could be broken grammar, but the first sentence may be referring to two different beings. Why I think that is simply because it uses the world MOTHER, a feminine word. So when they get back to talking about the Witch (IF she was the sole owner of the soul) they would user "HER power formed a bed of life..." instead of "ITS power formed a..."
Considering she is the only female with a Lord Soul, we can't be sure about what happens when a Lord gets pregnant. Does she splits her soul with her baby or whatever? She already had her other children by the time she found the Lord Soul; so the BoC could be the sole example of another life being formed inside a Lord.
The Bug is also in a fetal position if you are gentle enough to look at it before stabbing it to death.
---
The Flames started to fade. The Witch was pregnant, she saw the opportunity to create a new Flame, and also make sure she was the new Great Lord, with the strongest soul.
To prevent other from claiming souls from her "Second Flame", she decided to use the soul of the baby inside her womb to duplicate the First Flame. Her womb would become sort of a private Kiln, with unlimited power.
**** happened. She created a monster. The baby's power created a Bed of Life inside her womb (kinda corrupted Kiln, yeah), and also some sort of Second Flame; the Chaos Flame (source of Pyromancy). The Chaos Flame corrupted everyone in a radius, creating demons. That includes the Witch of Izalith.
She was transformed in some sort of huge *** tree-like giant. Her branches and roots went as far as the Firelink Altar. Just to prove the extend of the BoC's power. (However it is pretty clear the Altar have Izalith architecture, so it's not a very great feat to reach there.) Oh yeah, and while she was transforming, the Baby and the Mother were connected; so if the Baby died, so would she.
