In this study, it is planned to shorten the second stage of labor by touching the fetal head during the second stage of labor. It is thought that touching will also have positive effects on the mother and the newborn.

This research study that we have planned is quite meaningful in terms of ensuring a comfortable postpartum period within the scope of mother and baby-friendly practices that our Ministry emphasizes.

| Mother-Baby Interaction | The research output will be evaluated with the Mother-Infant Interaction Scale. This scale is a three-point Likert-type scale from positive to negative, aiming to determine the mother's responses, reactions and closeness to her baby in the early postpartum period.
