Age range: 19-35
Only women who gave birth at Sivas Sample Hospital were included in the study
All pregnant women in the experimental group were allowed to use a sitting position (sitting and rocking on a pilates ball or sitting on a bed) from the active phase until labor. They were allowed to lie down for 10-15 minutes when they were tired or when monitoring or intervention was needed.

Behavioral: Sitting position is used in Experimental Arms 1-2
All pregnant women in the control group were followed up with hospital procedures during labor. From the latent phase until labor, the pregnant woman was followed up with hospital procedures. At the end of the latent and active phases, pain assessment was requested and VAS (Appendix 6) was applied. The 2nd and 3rd stages of labor were performed on a normal delivery table in the lithotomy position.
Behavioral: Sitting position is used in Experimental Arms 1-2
The hospital procedure was applied to determine the birth rates of all pregnant women in the control group. From the latent stage until the birth, the pregnant woman is followed up by applying the hospital procedure. At the end of the latent and active phases, the alarm results were requested to be evaluated and VAS (Appendix 6) was developed. The 2nd and 3rd stages of labor were performed in the lithotomy positions on the normal delivery table.

sitting position Comparison of sitting position and lithotomy position in labor
Also known as: Lithotomy position is used in those with Active Comparison Arm 3-4.
Visual analog scale is applied starting from the 1st stage of labor and until the end of the 2nd stage.If the VAS value is 10, it means there is a lot of pain, and if it is 0, it means there is no pain.

Ran from May 2022 to primary completion in Nov 2022, 6 months.
Of 457 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Hemorrhage, half reached primary completion within 21 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 40. This study's 6 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 522 studies reached it within 20 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 38.
