One could consider 'Midwives' by Chris Bohjalian. This novel delves deep into the world of midwifery and the complex situations surrounding birth. It's a story that not only shows the medical aspects but also the emotional and ethical dilemmas that can occur during childbirth.

The vivid descriptions of the birth scenes and the lead - up to them give a very real sense of what it was like in that situation.
