Study Summary
Peanut ball use has become popular with midwives and nurses because it is an inexpensive, nonpharmacological intervention that can help with positioning the patient to decrease labor time. The peanut ball allows the patient to reposition her legs in a way that mimics squatting and changes the diameter of the pelvis. This can aid in cervical dilatation and the descent of the fetus. In turn, laboring down can decrease the time spent pushing and prevent maternal exhaustion. This study aims to test the following hypotheses: The use of the peanut ball compared to standard of care will: 1. Reduce the time (in minutes) between administration of epidural and complete cervical dilation 2. Reduce pushing time as measured by duration of time pushing to the delivery of the baby 3. Decrease the rate of cesarean sections in nulliparous women
Primary Outcome
The primary outcome goal is to decrease the length of first and second stage of labor in nulliparous women after receiving epidural analgesia, measured in minutes
Interventions
- DEVICE Peanut Ball positioning device
