Abstract

Labour is a critical stage that requires monitoring, particularly with regard to the progress of the first stage. Prolonged labour can increase the risk of maternal fatigue and both maternal and neonatal complications. One non-pharmacological approach that can support the progress of labour is pelvic rocking, a pelvic movement that helps to improve pelvic mobility, facilitate the descent of the foetal head, and enhance the mother’s comfort. Pelvic rocking has the potential to accelerate cervical dilation and shorten the duration of the first stage of labour.  The aim of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of pelvic rocking on the duration of the first stage of labour. This study employed a literature review, identifying relevant studies via Google Scholar and PubMed using the search terms ‘Labour’ AND ‘First Stage’ AND ‘Pelvic Rocking’. Based on the results of the literature review, nine articles met the inclusion criteria out of a total of 924 articles identified published between 2022 and 2026. Research findings suggest that pelvic rocking may help to speed up the first stage of labour.  Based on the nine journals analysed, all studies indicated that pelvic rocking has an effect on the duration of the first stage of labour.
