This study aimed to assess the efficacy of breathing exercises (BE) during the second stage of labor for maternal pain, duration of labor and first-minute APGAR score.

It was conducted at Nenehatun Obstetric and Gynecology Hospital between May-June 2016, in Erzurum. One session of BE training were given to pregnant in intervention group (IG). Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was performed to identify perception of pain to all pregnant during the second stage of birth.
