Thank you, AlpheccaStars. BTW, I find that midwife is funny word, everytime I see or hear it, I think someone gets a second wife. LOL.

Men can be midwives too 
In the UK most births are attended by midwives (a separate medical specialisation these days from nurses) and obstetricians are only involved if there are complications. So a doctor isn't usually there.
