The medical science of childbirth is obstetrics and a doctor who specializes in attending births is an obstetrician.

Obstetricians are surgeons, who are trained to see childbirth as potentially pathological and in need of routine interventions.

Midwives see childbirth as a normal event for most women, one which is best handled by as few interventions as possible.

Midwives are trained to assist at births either through direct-entry or nurse-midwifery programs. Lay midwives are trained through being apprenticed to an experienced midwife.

A typical human childbirth will begin with the onset of contractions of the uterus. The frequency and duration of these contractions varies with the individual.
