Her mother, also a midwife, was away assisting the birth of her niece, and Mercedes knew "she would not be home for a long time," she recalls with a twinkle in her eye and a giggle, as if savoring the memory, so, knowing that and with a patient in labor in her living room, in a matter of minutes Mercedes remembered everything her mother had told her and all she had seen, made the young mother comfortable, and without further ado - as she puts it - "caught her first baby."
