Brief Summary:
This study aims to investigate the impact of using a labor mirror during the second stage of labor on both the duration of labor and the mothers overall experience The main questions it aims to answer are

Does the use of a labor mirror in the second stage of labor affect womens total birth experience scale score To assess the effect of using a birth mirror during the second stage of labor on the duration of labor and mothers satisfaction with labor the researchers will give one group a birth mirror and the other group will receive normal midwifery care
In the second stage of labor the birth mirror will be positioned so that the woman can see the progress of the baby as she pushes lithotomy position
Within 24 hours after delivery mothers will complete the Birth Experience Scale and an opinion form about the use of the mirror
The control group will not receive any intervention

Detailed Description:
Childbirth is one of the most significant experiences in a womans life The second stage of labor when the cervix is fully dilated and the baby moves through the birth canal is a crucial phase Various techniques and tools are used during this stage to assist delivery one of which is the labor mirror This tool allows the mother to visually observe the perineum and monitor the progress of labor especially in water births Both handheld and bed-mounted options are available usually made of acrylic and they can have adjustable angles for better visualization
The use of a labor mirror offers several benefits It enables real-time monitoring of the birthing process allowing midwives to make timely interventions More importantly it helps mothers feel more involved in the birth boosting their confidence and motivation especially when they see the babys head This can lead to more controlled pushing and potentially shorten the duration of labor
In summary the labor mirror can enhance the birth experience by allowing mothers to participate actively and by providing emotional support which may reduce the length of the second stage of labor However its use is not widespread in Turkey This study aims to investigate the impact of using a labor mirror during the second stage of labor on both the duration of labor and the mothers overall experience
