The authors showed the results of the study of the influence of warm tub bath during delivery on 135 women. In a prospective study 135 women bathed in a warm tub bath during first and second stage of labor after a strictly normal pregnancy, ending with spontaneous delivery at term. A control group consisted of 135 women fulfilling the same criteria, but who did not take the bath during labor. The newborns weight, their condition, perineum injury, time of first and second stage of delivery and number of periteotomies was analyzed. The observed features were undistinguishing.
