"The birth turned into a cesarean birth. I'd been assisting since that morning, but the mom had been there since [the other] night, which was when her water broke. Most of my care to her involved massage, hot and cold packs on her lower back (intense back labor), coaching her with the pushing (she had an epidural), and general emotional support ... Went back and visited her the next day in post-partum; they were all doing great, though very tired."
