While the control group were directed with routine way of correctly using abdominal pressure during process of uterine contraction in the second stage of labor. Results The lasting time of uterine contraction was significantly longer in the observation group than in the control group, the time of second stage of labor was shorter, and the amount of postpartum hemorrhage in the observation group was less than those in the control group.
