DEVICE

Peanut ball

Participants will be provided with a mani ball, which will be covered by a cover provided by the investigator. This cover will be changed for each patient. The ball will be placed between the participant's knees, and she will be allowed to use it at least every two hours for a period of 30 minutes. Participants will also have the option to use the balloon more frequently if they wish. Balloon use will be discontinued when the cervical os reaches 10 cm dilation or when the participant is ready to begin the pushing process. * The positions to be performed with the peanut ball will be: * Side lying * Bent position * Semi-sitting position * Taylor position.
