Abstract
Pregnancy is an intense time in the life of an expecting mother filled with physical and emotional changes. For many pregnant women, anticipated labour pain is a major concern during their pregnancy. Decisions they make about pain relief measures can have a profound effect on their experience and memories of labor, procedures, medications or restrictions that may become necessary for them or their baby's well-being after the birth. As the pain management by pharmacological method may affect the condition of the baby or the mother, non-pharmacological method which is safe for both was preferred by the researcher for pain relief.
