Maybe "obstentatious" would mean "given to flashy public displays of midwifery"...??

If you know your German it could mean "setting out your fruit and veg stall in a particularly flashy way" :)

"Ostentatious" is suggested in spellcheckers for the following: astentatious, obstentatious, onstentatious, osentatious, ostenstatious, ostentacious, ostentagious, ostentanious, ostentatios, ostentatiouus, ostentatiuos, ostentatous, ostetatious, ostientatious.

Try saying that unostentatiously.
