The second-stage of labor is the most stressful part of childbirth process and the proper maternal position during this period is paramount for women's safe vaginal birth. Midwives play a pivotal role in managing maternal positions during the second-stage of labor. However, there is limited evidence to support an ideal maternal position during the second-stage of labor. Further, the difference between different maternal positions might not be apparent. This paper aims to review and compare the benefits and risks of common maternal positions during the second-stage of labor, thereby to provide midwives evidence-based practical guidelines.

A midwife service area is pregnancy and normal childbirth. One of multipurpose childbirth tools which is easily available for women is birth ball. The tool is useful to shorten childbirth duration, make the childbirth more efficient, help mother feel more comfortable, and help in the descents of fetal head. Scientific literatures about the use of birth ball for childbirth are considered rare. The purpose of this study is to conclude and examine literatures that are connected to the effectiveness of birth ball exercise on labor. The data were articles published within 2008-2018 from Pubmed and Cochrane Library and were selected by using literature elimination strategies. O f the initial 374 articles that were verified, this study analyzed 5 articles which met the inclusion criteria. Birth ball exercise was effective to reduce pain during childbirth. The duration and interval of uterus contraction was longer. There are statistically significant differences between birth ball exercise that was done in class compared to those done at home in childbirth duration phase I and II. The use of birth ball resulted higher the efficacy in the active phase of childbirth. It shows that the efficacy has an impact for about 30-40% at delivery. W o m e n p r a c t i c i n g birth ball exercise used fewer epidural anesthesia and fewer Caesar operation. Birth ball exercise was effective to reduce pain during childbirth in latent and active phase, the duration and contraction interval on uterus were longer, having effect to childbirth duration phase I and II, mother efficacy in childbirth is higher, less using epidural anesthesia and caesarean sections.

“…In this study, it was determined that women were encouraged to walk, move and change positions during labor by the health personnel. In the studies, it is stated that the benefits of upright positions should be explained to women as much as possible, they should be encouraged to change positions every 30 minutes by assisting them to choose the positions that suit them, and free movement options should not be restricted unless there is a clinical obstacle [25][26][27][28].…”

Background:The Lamaze philosophy identifies six care practices that promote, support, and protect normal birth. This study was conducted as descriptive research in order to determine whether normal childbirth actually occurs in keeping with the six points set forth in the philosophy of Lamaze. Method:The study sample consisted of a total of 460 women. Data were collected over the period November 29, 2017 -June 30, 2018, in a hospital in northern Turkey after permission for the research was granted by the prevailing ethics committee. Used in collecting the data were a questionnaire on the participants' sociodemographic and obstetric features and a Lamaze technique assessment checklist that the author marked after making observations. Percentage distribution and means were used in the data analysis. Results:The mean age of the women participating in the study was 28.48 ± 7.41 years. In the births reviewed in light of Lamaze philosophy, it was found that spontaneous labor was allowed (with no labor induction, 63.9%; with no drugs to speed up labor, 88.7%), women were supported throughout their labor to walk, move around, and change position (92.6%) and were encouraged by healthcare personnel (95.4%), and a loved one (her own mother, 32.6%) of the expecting mother was allowed to be by her side (92.4%).It was seen that unless medically required, no intervention was initiated such as restricting eating/drinking (76.5%); enema (82.0%), forceps/vacuum (99.6%), epidural anesthesia (95.4%), amniotomy (63.0%), or continuous electronic fetal monitoring-EFM (96.3%) was not performed and intravenous fluid was not administered (71.3%), the mother and baby were kept together to encourage breastfeeding (97.4%), and the infant was breastfed in the first 30 min. -1 hour (95.0%). It was however observed that 98.5% of the women delivered while lying in a supine, 49.5% were allowed to follow the body's urges to push, 50.9% underwent an episiotomy and fundal pressure was applied to 28.5%. Conclusion:It can be said based on the results of the study that the philosophy of Lamaze is generally supported in normal birth. Every woman needs to know that these six evidence-based birth practices make birth healthier and safer form others and babies.
