NCT ID NCT07299708
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 127 first-time mothers to see if their sleep quality, anxiety levels, and nighttime phone use before labor were linked to how long labor lasted and whether they needed extra medical help. Participants filled out questionnaires during routine checkups, and researchers tracked their labor progress from hospital admission to birth. The goal was to understand if these everyday factors might play a role in childbirth.
