This is what a midwife (hilot or kumadrona) or an OB-GYN does. They don't give birth themselves, but they cause the birth to happen successfully by assisting the mother. It's the ultimate 'group project' where you're the project manager for a baby's arrival.
Causative verb. To cause someone to have a child ('anak'). It implies facilitation or assistance in the birthing process.
