History lesson: until this century, men were not allowed in the room when a
woman was having a baby. The woman was assisted by another woman known as a
"midwife", who may have had medical training but often just had clean hands 
and
a good bedside manner. At some point, they started letting male doctors do 
he
job as well, and eventually husbands were allowed to hang around.
In the interests of gender equality, there are now also male "midwives".
