Postverta

In Roman mythology, Postverta was the goddess of the past and one of the two Carmentes[?] (along with the goddess Porrima[?]). During childbirth, prayers were offered to summon the Carmentes to preside over the labor. Porrima was said to be present at the birth when the baby was born head-first; Postversa, when the feet of the baby came first.
