Abstract

Background Childbirth is a transformative process. Modern healthcare offers pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for safe and improved childbirth experience. Studies have found that maternal mobility during the first stage of labour has a significant effect on maternal and child outcomes. A pilot study was done to find the effect of mobility during the first stage of labour on maternal satisfaction and foetal outcome. Method An experimental study was done with 60 primigravida women with uncomplicated antenatal history reporting to the labour room of a tertiary care government hospital in Delhi chosen as study participants. Validated and reliable tools were used to measure labour, maternal and neonatal outcomes within 24 h post-delivery. Results The results showed that there was an impact on mobility intervention during the first stage of labour on parturition ( p = .03) and significant maternal satisfaction ( p = .001). However, the neonatal outcome of both groups was not significant. Conclusion Mobility was an effective non-pharmacological intervention for enhancing parturition and maternal satisfaction. Mobility during the first stage of labour can be recommended for practice guidelines for all midwives in the labour room as a protocol.
