Introduction: Every woman has the right to respectful and empathetic care during childbirth that addresses her needs for pain management, and allows her the liberty to make it a memorable experience. This study aimed to assess the effect of birthing ball exercises on labor pain and labor outcome among primigravidae parturients at a tertiary care hospital. Method: A quasi-experimental design was used. A total of 60 primigravidae with 30 each in the control and experiment groups were selected by consecutive sampling. Primigravidae in the experiment group underwent two sessions of 20 minutes of birthing ball exercises at a subsequent gap of one hour during their active phase of labor (>4 cm cervical dilation). Primigravidae in the control group received routine standard care that included continuous observation and monitoring of vital signs and progress of labor. The visual analog scale (VAS) score was assessed in the transition phase (cervical dilation 8 cm to 10cm) and labor outcomes were assessed after delivery in both groups. Result: The experiment group had significantly better labor outcomes in terms of labor pain, cervical dilatation, and duration of labor compared to the primigravidae in the control group (p<0.05). In addition, the majority of mothers in the experiment group (86.7 %) underwent vaginal delivery with episiotomy compared to the control group (53.3%). Findings also revealed a statistically significant difference in the newborns of both groups regarding appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration (APGAR) score, crying immediately after birth, and admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at p<0.05. Conclusion: There are a variety of discomforts that a woman experiences during labor. Reducing these discomforts is an important part of good nursing care. Non-pharmacologic methods like birthing ball exercises help decrease these discomforts by reducing labor pain and improving maternal and neonatal outcomes.

“…In our study, pregnant mothers who performed the pelvic rocking exercise with a birth ball during the active phase in the first stage of labor until complete cervical dilatation passed the second stage with a shorter duration than pregnant mothers who underwent SP6 acupressure during the first stage of labor. Previous studies have been conducted separately and have yet to compare these two types of interventions (Hulya & Ceber, 2020;Makvandi et al, 2016;Makvandi et al, 2019;Sheishaa et al, 2019). The pelvic rocking exercise with a birth ball could help accelerate the descent of the lowest part of the fetus along with an increase in uterine contraction due to the mother's position that was adjusted to gravity and pelvic movements (Delgado et al, 2019;Makvandi et al, 2019;Mathew et al, 2012).…”

Background: Long duration of labor increases the pain that a mother experiences. Several non-pharmacological methods, such as pelvic rocking exercises and SP6 acupressure, have been discovered to reduce pain and accelerate labor duration. It needs to be clarified which of the two methods is more effective.Purpose: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of pelvic rocking exercise with a birth ball and SP6 acupressure in shortening the duration of the active phase in the first and the second stage of labor.Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design involving 64 mothers in the first stage of normal delivery who were recruited using propensity score matching sampling. The participants were divided into two intervention groups (the pelvic rocking exercise with a birth ball and SP6 acupressure). Each respondent in the two intervention groups was monitored for progress of labor during the active phase in the first stage using a partograph starting from cervical dilatation of 4 cm to 10 cm. The duration of the second stage was assessed by calculating the length of time from cervical dilatation of 10 cm to the delivery of the entire baby. The Mann-Whitney U test was performed to assess the difference between the two interventions in the two stages of labor assessed.Results: There was a difference in the duration of labor in the first stage (p=0.00) and the second stage (p=0.001) between the groups given the pelvic rocking exercise with a birth ball and the SP6 acupressure. The pelvic rocking exercise with a birth ball was found to be more effective in shortening the duration of the active phase in the first stage (Mean rank=19.83) and the second stage of labor (Mean rank=24.56) compared to SP6 acupressure (Mean rank of the first stage=45.17 and Mean rank of the second stage=40.44).Conclusion: The pelvic rocking exercise was found to be more effective compared to SP6 acupressure in shortening the duration of the active phase in the first and the second stage of labor. Pelvic rocking exercise can be implemented to help accelerate labor duration so that mothers can feel more comfortable during the labor.

“…Melakukan olahraga dengan birth ball dapat memperbaiki postur tubuh, menjaga keseimbangan, koordinasi, dan kesadaran tubuh dikarenakan sifat dari birth ball yang dinamis sehingga membantu ibu membangun self efficacy (Gallo et al, 2018). Penggunaan birth ball pada akhir kehamilan dapat meningkatkan aliran darah ke uterus, plasenta, serta bayi, menghilangkan tekanan di lumbal V, memberikan kenyamanan pada lutut dan pergelangan kaki, serta memberikan tekanan balik ke perineum dan paha (Sheishaa et al, 2019).…”
