Is there such thing as a midwife that doesn't deliver babies but does everything else?

You may be thinking of a montrice. This would be someone who is trained to assess the labor and mother's and baby's well-being but does not actually deliver. Depending on where you are located, there may or may not be many practicing.

A doula is another role that offers physical and emotional support for a mother or family during labor and birth, and often during pregnancy and postpartum. In this profession, physical assessments are not part of the practice.

Thank you for the information.Im confused on what I want to be but this helped some.
