A randomized parallel group trial to assess the impact of maternal birthing position on maternal and Fetal outcome

Objective: To compare mother and foetal outcomes in various delivery positions, as well the duration of second stage labour. Materials Methods: A total 75 primigravidae with vertex presentation no co-morbidities were grouped into supine 25 (Group 1), lateral 2) all fours birthing positions 3). The maternal fetal studied. Study Design: Randomized Parallel Group Trial. Results: mean labour was decreased position (32.08 minutes) relative risk 6 (95% CI,2.52 to 14.24, P value < 0.01). Pain intensity assessed Visual analogue scale pain less RR 5.44 CI 0.67 - 43.79, preference for same next greater Supine position, 6.09 1.75 21.18, There significant difference overall outcome three positions. transient tachypnoea newborn more (P Value 0.04) statistically significant. Conclusion: Upright during may be beneficial promoting good than position.
