Midwife

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

A Bajoran midwife

A midwife is a professional who provides prenatal care to expecting mothers, attends the birth, and provides postpartum care to the mother and infant. Midwives specialize in low-risk pregnancies, helping women to have healthy pregnancies and natural births - the non-medical equivalent of an obstetrician, who specializes in surgical aspects of pregnancy.

In 2367, Worf acted as midwife when Keiko O'Brien went into labor in Ten Forward on the Enterprise-D after the ships systems were disabled by a quantum filament. (TNG: "Disaster")

In 2372, Julian Bashir acted as midwife for Ekoria. (DS9: "The Quickening")

A Bajoran midwife assisted Mika during the birth of her half Cardassian half Bajoran baby on Empok Nor in 2375. (DS9: "Covenant")
