Mirror Use During Pushing in First Births
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if using a small mirror during the pushing phase of labor helps first-time mothers deliver more comfortably. If you are a healthy, full-term first-time mom planning a vaginal birth, you may be eligible.

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 trial studies whether a mother's awareness of how long she has been pushing (the second stage of labor) can affect how long that stage lasts. It may help you feel more in control during labor.
This study looks at how first-time mothers (primigravida) give birth and what happens during delivery. It aims to understand outcomes for women having their first baby.
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 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.
