There are two types of professionals charged with that task. OB/GYNs who are doctors, and Midwifes who may or may not be doctors.

There are then a variety of other people who - because of the absence of a doctor or midwife - deliver babies.

In the final extremity, if she is all alone, the woman delivers herself, though this is to be avoided at all costs.
An obstetrician is a physician that specializes in caring for pregnant women up to and through childbirth. A midwifeis a nurse especially trained for childbirth and postnatal care.
