Midwifery was a job outside of the home typically performed by women that provided childbirth and prenatal care services to the community. Midwives were responsible for assisting women during the labor and delivery process, providing prenatal examinations and advice, as well as offering postpartum care to both the mother and the newborn. They played a crucial role in ensuring safe and healthy childbirth experiences for women before medical advancements in obstetrics became prevalent.
