Summary

This study tests whether listening to music and squeezing a stress ball during and after childbirth can shorten the time for the placenta to come out, reduce pain during episiotomy repair, and improve breastfeeding success. The trial involves 160 first-time mothers having a vaginal delivery. Researchers will compare these simple, drug-free techniques against standard care.
