Summary
This trial tests a WHO-designed labor care guide—a simple monitoring tool—to see if it improves labor progress and increases the chance of a vaginal delivery. The study includes 350 full-term pregnant women planning a vaginal delivery at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital. Researchers will measure healthcare provider satisfaction and compare delivery outcomes, labor duration, and maternal complications between those using the guide and those receiving standard care.
