I am actually thinking of having a midwife as a PC in a future game. OK, all I know about that is from watching Call the Midwife, but it might be interesting.

There's actually a Wiccan midwife in Warday; she talks about having to euthanise the heavily disabled newborns.

I'm gonna echo WallShadow's reply, it's probably best kept in the background, and unless the players really want to deal with it, I'd handwave that it doesn't happen. For a military-ation-focused game like T2k, it would more or less mean that one PC isn't going to be very active for a considerable chunk of time, and that might not be fun for the player.

I've not seen it in a T2k game myself, and that's my only experience in post-apoc games. I am aware of a few D&D rules supplements that went in depth in rules for sex, pregnancy, and diseases, I'm not sure I recommend them.
