A midwife is like a doctor, only she didn't go to medical school, that delivers babies. A pap test is when you are getting your annual exam and they test you for different things, never had one so can't explain it in detail.

A midwife is someone who is trained in delivering babies. They can be called to deliver a baby in someone's home instead of going to a doctor at a hospital.
A Pap test (or pap smear) is a test where a cotton swap type thing is used to collect cells from inside a woman to determine if she has any illnesses. All sexually active women should get them regularly!

A midwife is a healthcare professional that provides an array of health care services for women that may include medical histories and genealogical examinations, contraceptive counseling, prescriptions, and labor and delivery care. Providing care during labor, delivery and after birth is a specialty of midwifery that makes them unique experts.
The Pap test, also called a Pap smear, checks for changes in the cells of your cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus (womb) that opens into the vagina (birth canal). The Pap test can tell if you have an infection, abnormal (unhealthy) cervical cells, or cervical cancer.

A midwife is a somewhat more personalized and flexible version of an OB doctor suitable in low risk pregnancy situations. They often come right to your house to deliver. A Pap smear is a test to detect irregular cells and HPV on the cervix.

You have misspelt of midwives as midwifes. Midwives is the plural form of midwife. A midwife is a medical assistant who takes care of the pregnant woman from the day of conception till the date of the delivery of the child and continues to look after the baby and the mother under medical supervision. She is a nurse trained to take care of the conceived women. Pre-natal and post-natal care is the mission of her job.
A pap test is to find out any cancerous growth in the vaginal surface and also to know whether a woman has contact of sexually transmitted disease.
