Summary

This study tested whether giving women a mirror to watch their baby's birth during the pushing stage would shorten labor or improve their experience. 122 healthy women with full-term pregnancies took part. One group used a mirror while pushing, and the other received standard care. The researchers measured how long the pushing stage lasted and asked mothers to rate their birth experience afterward.
