Summary

This study tests whether telling women how long they've been pushing during the second stage of labor can shorten that stage and improve their experience. 240 women will be randomly assigned to either receive regular time updates with a visible timer or standard care. The goal is to see if this simple information helps with motivation and outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
structured time awareness (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give doctors a simple, low-cost way to improve labor outcomes and patient satisfaction.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study. The intervention is just information, so it may not change anything, and results may not apply to all hospitals or patients.
