Y'Pora was a Bajoran woman skilled in traditional Bajoran childbirth techniques.

In 2373, Kira Nerys selected her to guide her through the birth of Miles and Keiko O'Brien's child, whom Kira was carrying as a surrogate mother. Y'Pora was very strict and scolded both Shakaar and Miles O'Brien for interrupting the childbirth ritual after Kira's initial labor halted. She suggested Kira could have Julian Bashir deliver the baby now, but Kira wanted to wait. Y'Pora told her to rest in her quarters and she'd visit her later.

She was later present for the successful birthing of the baby. (DS9: "The Begotten")

Y'Pora was played by Peggy Roeder.
According to the script, her name was pronounced as "yeh-PORE-uh". [1]
Y'Pora was mentioned in the DS9 relaunch novel Unity.
