[Avodah] Call the midwife

[Rich, Joel]

Kiddushin 73b states we believe the midwife to tell us which twin came out first. The Ran on the Rif on Kiddushin 31a states a midwife's credibility is not "mdin" (from the law) but the Rabbis believed her because in the majority of cases, there's no other way. 1.) How did HKB"H expect this to work prior to the Rabbinic injunction? (this applies to other examples as well where the halachic gold standard of two witnesses is relaxed) 2.) Is it related to R'Moshe's (self-knowledge) and "neemanut" (trust).[see Iggrot Moshe Y"D 1:54]
