midwifed
Assisted in labor
Midwifed is the past tense of midwife used as a verb, meaning to assist in bringing something into being.
A midwife delivers babies, so to midwife something is to help it emerge: She midwifed the project through its difficult early stages.
The word often appears in contexts of creative or organizational birth—midwifing a new company, a movement, or an idea.
