Rituals for birth.

Anyone know any birth specific rituals for labour? There seems to be plenty for naming your child weeks afterwards but not anything you can do during n immediately after, except light a candle which a lot hospitals don't allow. Am eclectic Pagan so ideas from all paths welcome :-)
