A woman who helps another woman with her childbirth is commonly referred to as a "doula." Doulas provide emotional and physical support during labor and delivery, helping to create a positive birthing experience. In some contexts, a midwife may also assist with childbirth, but a midwife is typically a trained medical professional who can deliver babies and provide medical care.
