hilot
partera/comadrona


Explanation:
Diría yo. Estoy entre las dos, porque la partera no tiene estudios y la comadrona sí, según la RAE, y según lo que leí una *hilot* es una persona entrenada para ayudar a una parturienta.

Hilot: Traditional birth attendants in the Philippines.

Es también una práctica de masajes, pero creo que no tiene nada que ver en este caso.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12179661

The hilot is defined as a person who is usually called upon by the community to assist a woman during pregnancy, labor and/or after delivery.

You mean you used *comadrona*? It was also one of David's suggestions in his answer.
