🇬🇧🇨🇳 midwife - 助产士 : English Lesson
noun
Meaning of "midwife" ("助产士"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
A midwife is a specially trained helper who takes care of a pregnant mom when her baby is being born, making sure both the mom and the baby are safe, healthy, and comfortable before, during, and after the birth.
Our midwife wrote down all the baby’s details, and I suggested adding, “Special power: making diapers mysteriously explode.”
The midwife smiled and said, “You’re a big brother now,” and I said, “Do I get a raise for this job?”
The midwife said babies sometimes cry a lot, and my new sister instantly tried to prove her 100% correct.
The midwife told my mom to breathe slowly, while my dad forgot to breathe at all and almost fainted.
In many places around the world, midwives have been helping babies enter the world for thousands of years—long before hospitals even existed!
A woman gasps; a midwife guides her hands. Another midwife checks the baby’s breath. The midwife wipes tiny face, wraps warm skin, and places the child on the mother’s chest. A young midwife smiles, relieved. The midwife and mother hold each other, tears and quiet joy filling the small room.
