However, this pain differs from other types of pain in that it is a part of a natural process, it occurs within a limited period time, and the mother’s willingness to endure these painfully for her baby. Birth pain also adversely affects the woman’s perception of labor. Failure to control birth pain causes pregnant women to perceive birth negatively, have negative experiences about birth, and decrease their satisfaction. Nonpharmacological methods affect the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and sociocultural dimensions of the pain and lead the woman to perceive the pain at the lowest level by providing relaxation. The purpose of the methods used to relieve pain at birth is to directly reduce or regulate birth pain without any negative effects on the mother and baby. They do not slow down labor, there have no risk of side effects or allergies, they are very economical, comfortable, reliable, and easy to use.}, number={1}, publisher={Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi}
