ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different methods for monitoring labor in first-time mothers: a modified version of the WHO partograph and the new WHO labour care guide. Both tools are used to help healthcare providers track the progress of labor and ensure the safety of mothers and their babies. The goal is to see which method is more effective in managing labor for women who are 37 weeks or more pregnant and are experiencing their first childbirth.

To participate in this study, women must be between the ages of 18 and 35, have a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 29.9, and be in the active first stage of labor with their baby in the head-down position. However, women with certain health issues or complications related to pregnancy cannot join the study. If you decide to participate, you will be assigned randomly to one of the two monitoring methods and will be closely observed during your labor to help researchers understand which method works best. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and your involvement could help improve care for future mothers.
