Condition: Labor (Obstetrics)--Complications · Sponsor: Hamad Medical Corporation
Brief Summary The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether scheduled maternal position changes using a peanut birthing ball improve labor outcomes in low-risk, primiparous women receiving epidural analgesia during labor. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does scheduled maternal positioning with a peanut ball reduce the duration of the first and second stages of labor? Does scheduled maternal positioning with a peanut ball influence mode of delivery and maternal and neonatal outcomes? This non-invasive randomized controlled trial will be conducted at the Women's Wellness and Research Center in Qatar. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving scheduled maternal position changes using a peanut birthing ball or a control group receiving standard intrapartum care without peanut ball use. Researchers will compare outcomes between the two groups to determine whether structured positioning with a peanut ball improves labor progression and delivery outcomes in women receiving epidural analgesia. Participants in the intervention group will undergo scheduled position changes throughout labor using a peanut birthing ball, including left lateral, right lateral, semi-sitting, and Taylor positions, under the supervision of trained nursing and midwifery staff. Participants in the control group will receive routine intrapartum care following epidural analgesia without the use of a peanut ball or a structured positioning schedule. …
