I'm sure she will be ok. But, to get on my soapbox for a minute:
EVERY parent should take CPR and first aid classes. Either do it while pregnant, preferrably, or immediately after birth. I have had to use what I learned twice on my own kids.
Every childbirth class or Lamaze class should include infant/child CPR , but they don't and I really don't understand why. They emphasize the baby's health, the baby's comfort....but not the baby in a life-threatening situation, so you get what you had-a totally panicked mother who had no clue what to do in this emergency.
