If woman is in labor:
When the woman is in labor, help her get through her contraction. Give her some ice to chew on. Help her through contractions. Based on experience level, check how dilated the woman is. Also check if her water has broken. If it has, usually the birth process will speed up. Ask the woman if she feels like she needs to push. If she says not yet, continue through contractions. If she needs to push and you are not a certified obstrecian, get help immediately. After help is found, help her through more speedy contractions. Eventually she will release the baby.
If newborn is already there:
Weight the baby. Make sure it looks healthy. Check if it is breathing. If it doesn’t appear to breathing, open its mouth and make sure there is no mucus or blood blocking the newborns airway. If the newborn is an purple or red in the face, definitely make sure its breathing. Also if it cries, that is good. Determine the gender of the child. Check for any unusual mark, scars or deformations. If anything seems out of place immediately call for help. Properly clean of the child of any remaining blood or mucus.
Hope this helps!
