First seen Jan 02, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looks at whether one hour of uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact with her newborn right after vaginal birth can help a mother feel less pain, be more satisfied with the birth, and keep her vital signs stable. Researchers will compare 34 mothers who get this contact with 34 who receive standard care. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost practice should become routine in early postpartum care.
