Using a mirror during childbirth for first-time mothers

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.

This study compares lying on your side versus lying on your back during active labor to see if one position helps speed up labor. It is for first-time mothers with a healthy, full-term pregnancy and a baby in the head-down position, who have not yet had their water break.

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.

This study tests whether using a special chair that lets you give birth in an upright position can make labor easier or safer. If you're planning a vaginal delivery and are at full dilation, this chair might help you find a comfortable position.

This study tests whether a calm, sensory-friendly room (called a Snoezelen room) can help make the birth process easier and more comfortable for first-time mothers. If you are a healthy, first-time mom planning a vaginal birth, this trial may offer a relaxing environment during labor.

This trial tests whether using mirror therapy during labor can improve postpartum recovery. It is for women who are at least 18, can read and write Turkish, and are having a vaginal delivery without complications.
