The study was conducted to assess the effect of ambulation and birthing ball on the maternal and newborn outcome from 01.08.2011 to 31.10.2011. This randomized control study was conducted on 60 primigravida mothers. Purposive sampling technique was used for the selection of samples followed by random allocation of 20 samples each to the three groups namely, ambulation, birthing ball and control group respectively using lottery method. Ambulation and birthing ball therapy were given to the respective samples between cervical dilatation of 1-3cm during first stage of labour, whereas the control group was not given any intervention. Here maternal outcome st nd includes1 stage duration (Area1), 2 stage duration (Area2), cervical dilatation rate (Area3), and type of delivery(Area4) and newborn outcome includes heart rate, respiratory rate, colour, reflex and muscle tone. Since the t calculated value in Area 1 (5.257), Area 2 (2.781), Area 3(5.438) is greater than t table value (2.042) and in Area 4, 75% of ambulation group underwent normal vaginal delivery, it shows that there is significant improvement in maternal outcome after the use of ambulation. The t calculated value in Area 1(7.223), Area 2 (5.556), Area 3(6.178) is greater than t table value (2.030) and in Area 4, 95% of birthing ball group underwent normal vaginal delivery. It shows that there is significant improvement in maternal outcome after the use of birthing ball therapy. Comparison of ambulation and birthing ball therapy on maternal outcome showed that, there is significant difference in second stage duration (t tab 2.031(df=36)< t cal 2.231= S) and type of delivery. In this study ambulation and birthing ball were found to be effective to improve maternal outcome and there was no harm to the baby. Both the experimental group mothers expressed that they were satisfied and comfortable.
