PEANUT BALL

Experimental Group: Pregnant women who were applied with a peanut ball were informed about the necessary information related to the ball by the midwife with a visual representation of the positions. A total of 5 positions were shown to the pregnant women. Peanut ball was started to be used when the cervical dilation reached 6 cm. Pregnant women in the active phase, the transition phase, and the second stage of labor where the peanut ball was applied were directed to change positions every 30-45 minutes. Importance was given to selecting positions where the pregnant woman felt comfortable. Control Group: No intervention was made other than routine practices within the clinic for pregnant women. It was generally observed that pregnant women spent the time until delivery lying down and connected to electronic fetal monitoring.
