It was a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) so the extra help was great. She really calmed the room when the nurses were being negative about her chances.

I guess they're more necessary now that women aren't always surrounded by lots of other women experienced in these matters. A woman in my mother's group went to classes with one and thought it was worthwhile. But nothing I could have learnt before, I'm sure, would have prepared me for the experience. And where did you come across this word? Lucky you learning something new every day! For my money you can't go past <a href="http://www.helenmorgan.net/2006/07/22/kibitzer/" rel="nofollow">kibitzer</a> for a useful new word to add to your vocabulary.
