Abstract

The study demonstrates that WB and WB-FEMT are superior to TC in labour duration, pain management and postpartum recovery. The WB-FEMT combination significantly enhanced maternal psychological comfort. Offering diverse childbirth options can better meet the physiological and psychological needs of mothers, ultimately promoting the health of both mothers and newborns.
