It is a universal truth that women who are ready to give birth to their babies must engage in some form of physical activity, such as standing, walking, sitting, or kneeling, to allow for the “gravity effect” which helps in cervix dilation. Non-traditional positions have been used in various birth situations and are widely regarded as a potent, safe, and simple means of accelerating labour progress and improving maternal outcomes. The contemporary research aims at examining the usage and effect of the non-traditional birthing positions during the second stage of labour on maternal outcomes in second gravida mothers. Our findings reveal that the majority of parturient mothers (59%) have reduced second-stage labour duration, moderate pain (58%), cervical dilation (89%), rupture of membranes was spontaneous and the mode of delivery was normal which indicates that non-traditional positions were effective in improving maternal outcomes.
