Birth Affirmation Cards to Support First-Time Labor
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether special affirmation cards (positive statements) guided by a midwife help first-time mothers feel more confident and positive during labor. The goal is to see if this simple, non-medical tool improves your labor experience and how you cope with contractions.
