Can a peanut ball shorten labor? new study investigates

NCT ID NCT07333209

Summary

This study is testing if a specific schedule of position changes using a peanut-shaped birthing ball can help labor progress better for first-time mothers who have chosen an epidural for pain relief. Researchers will compare labor duration, delivery method, and health outcomes for mothers and babies between a group using the scheduled positioning and a group receiving standard care. The goal is to see if this simple, non-invasive tool can make labor smoother and reduce complications.
