Vocalization and natural pushing during labor
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether making sounds (vocalizing) and pushing naturally during the pushing stage of labor—without medication—can help first-time mothers. You'll be asked to try either vocal pushing or silent pushing, and the researchers will see how it affects your labor.
