Just as a woman who has already given birth does not fast, so too a woman who is in the middle of labor is also exempt
from fasting.

Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 330:3
A woman falls into the category of yoledet with regard to desecrating the Shabbat on her behalf when she sits
on the birthing stool or when bleeding starts, or when her friends hold her up by her arms as she is too weak to
walk. When one of these scenarios occur we desecrate the Shabbat for her.
The Mishna Berura explains that there are also certain actions that may be performed (even though they desecrate the
Shabbat) before a woman has reached these stages outlined by the Shulchan Aruch.

Mishna Berura
One of these: This is specifically regarding matters that can be done without causing a delay; only in these cases
do we wait until one of these three signs occurs, but regarding calling a midwife from a distant place, etc., which
were we to wait until the time of these signs, the midwife would arrive too late, by necessity, as soon as she feels
the oncoming [of labor], even if she is uncertain, it is permitted to call [the midwife], even if she is further than
three parsaot.
