A Bajoran midwife who presides over the traditional birth ritual in which Kira Nerys delivers the O'Briens' son, and who has little patience for the bickering of the men in attendance.
Y'Pora appears in The Begotten, played by Peggy Roeder.
In 2373 Kira, who has been carrying Keiko and Miles O'Brien's child since an accident forced the transfer of the pregnancy, goes into labour. She chooses a Bajoran birth, which depends on the mother reaching a state of complete relaxation, helped by soft percussion, chanting and the presence of family. Y'Pora directs the ceremony.
The calm proves hard to keep. Miles and Kira's partner Shakaar squabble over where each should stand and who is distracting her, and the birth stalls. Y'Pora warns that the baby may not come for weeks if the mood is lost, and orders both men out. Kira then delivers a healthy boy, Kirayoshi.
