Abstract	ABSTRACT Background: The labor process has been categorized as three different stages, with conventional management generated at each stage in order to handle problems and restrict the overall rise in mother and baby mortality rates. In the beginning, it appeared that remaining upright (or vertical) during labor and delivery was the most preferred position. AIM: The goal of this study is to find the effects of squatting position in second stage of labor on duration in active phase among primigravida. METHOD: Total of 10 participants were selected based on inclusion criteria. They have been allotted into two groups. Group A received squatting position and Group B received a conventional management. RESULT: Squats performed by Group A seemed to have significant variations in duration and pain while comparing with that of squats not executed by Group B Conclusion: This study discovered that an extended second stage of labor in the supine position promotes consequences such as a decline in fetal heart rate, blood pressure, dyspnea, and a lower APGAR score.
