In one of Heinlein's books, the woman is positioned along the ship's main
axis in a comfortable chair, and at the appropriate moment the pilot, who is
also the midwife, fires the engines for a second or so using a convenient
footswitch.  Heinlein, at least, seems to think a rocket motor is a great
help to delivery.
