In the UK and over there they are called men-midwives. In Canada they are called "midwifes" regardless of gender. There is actually an English word (probably archaic) for a male midwife: "accoucheur." "To his work without flinching the accoucheur comes" (Walt Whitman, "Song of Myself" l.1290)
NOT MUCH FOR HOW HARD THEY WORK AND THERE HOURS.
A midwife can work in a hospital (if she is a certified nurse midwife), at a birthing center, or even in the clients own home. It is all about what make the mom to be feel the most comfortable.
They work with pregnant women and women in labour
I am pretty sure, because if you want to work as a midwife, you have to ask a professional midwife, because he or she might know. I also think you have to go to college (of course) to become a midwife.
The Midwife help bring comfort and support to the person who is giving birth, to tell her to push and breathe, but if the person is giving birth at home, the midwife delivers the baby.
how many hours volunteering do you need to become a midwife
A midwife helps assist in the delivery of an infant, an registered nurse will assist the midwife by constantly assessing the patient, administering medications, and alerting them when delivery is imminent and any potential complications.

local GP (General practitioner) midwife
Alyce was a girl who didn't know a lot she meet Jane and worked for her and had a friend cat. Then one day went to this fair which Jane was unable to go. She gets a new comb and a new name, she then help deliver a baby when she got back. But when they request her she finds the task difficult and was unable to do it in shame she left town. She then found an inn to work at for food, she learned to read and what she wants in her life. What she really wants is to be the midwife's apprentice. So then Alyce returns to the midwife in the village and asks to be her apprentice once again, promising never to give up.
Midwives may work with a variety of people, depending on their practice. Some midwives work in conjunction with other midwives or with physicians (usually OB-GYNs but also family practice, etc.) Some midwives have apprentices who are studying to become midwives. Some hire assistants or doulas, and some work with registered nurses. A midwife may work alone or in group practices.
