An important part of the delivery process that affects the mother's and the baby's safety is the second stage of labor. Obstetric difficulties may become more likely if the second stage is extended. The work position is one element that affects how long the second stage lasts. The purpose of this study is to ascertain if labor position and the duration of the second stage are related in mothers giving delivery at Obi General Hospital. This study employed a cross-sectional methodology and an observational analytical design.
