Spontaneous and active pushing in second stage labor and fetal outcome in primiparous women

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Active pushing in second stage labor is acceptable, despite its complications for fetus and it has been noticed by midwifes and obstetricians. Recent studies have shown that spontaneous pushing decreases fetal acidosis. So, the objective of this study was to assess the effe...
