Music and stress ball for pain and breastfeeding after birth
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether listening to music and squeezing a stress ball during and after childbirth can help the placenta come out faster, reduce pain from an episiotomy (a small cut made during delivery), and improve breastfeeding success. If you are having your first baby and a vaginal birth, this might be a helpful way to feel more comfortable.
