a midwife

LOL, Midwife. I say its sexist, what do you think, hahaha!

Just that: male midwife.

# Midwifery traditionally seen as the care of pregnant women by women. # From the 16th Century men were starting to be involved with the care of pregnant women. # From this time the term "man-midwife" started to be used. # The Medical Acts of 1858 and 1886 consolidated the position of the "man-midwife", who became the forerunners of the obstetric specialist. # Female practitioners gained legal recognition in the First Midwives Act of 1902. This prohibited the practice of midwifery by unqualified women, but unqualified men could still practice. This loophole was closed in 1926.

If Air Hostess is female it is Flight Attendant for male. If Midwife is female it should be Delivery Attendant for male. It could even be Delivery Assistant for male.

a midwife - I had this discussion with a male midwife on here a while ago... He said: A lot of people ask me why men are called midwife. The word midwife means ''with women'' so that is why both female and male are called midwife because it describes the people that we care for.

A midwife.

Certified nurse Midwive, and that is what they are called regardless of their gender.

a midwife "Midwifery is a health care profession where providers give prenatal care to expecting mothers, attend the birth of the infant, and provide postpartum care to the mother and her infant. Practitioners of midwifery are known as midwives, a term used in reference to both women and men (the etymology of midwife is mid = with and wif = wife). Nurse Midwives in the United States (see below) are advance practice nurses (Nurse Practitioners). In addition to giving care to women surronding pregnancy and birth, they also provide primary care to women, well woman care (gyn annual exams), family planning and menopause care. Midwives are autonomous practitioners who are specialists in a low-risk pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum stage. They generally strive to help women have a healthy pregnancy and natural birth experience. Midwives are trained to recognize and deal with deviations from the norm. Obstetricians, in contrast, are specialists in illness related to childbearing and in surgery. The two professions can be complementary, but often are at odds because obstetricians are taught to "actively manage" labor, while midwives are taught not to intervene unless necessary. Midwives refer women to obstetricians when a woman requires care beyond their area of expertise. In many jurisdictions, these professions work together to provide care to childbearing women. In others, only the midwife is available to provide care. Midwives are trained to handle certain situations that are considered abnormal, including breech births and posterior position, using non-invasive techniques."

A midman maybe? Is this a trick question?

Rare and in the way. And your joke isnt funny There are male midwives; there just aren't many of them. When the subject of men in midwifery is discussed, it usually conjures up perplexed looks. The very idea of men in midwifery can create quite a stir, and most laypeople don't perceive it as strange that there are so few men in this profession.
