Abstract
Background: Waterbirth has gained popularity as an alternative birthing option globally, yet its implementation and acceptance in clinical practice remain limited in Singapore. Study Aim: This systemized literature review aims to investigate the effectiveness of waterbirth in reducing labour pain compared to traditional births among pregnant women in Singapore. Methodology: This systematized literature review used databases such as CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE (Excerpta Medica Database), and Web of Science. Selected articles were appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute Checklist. Conclusion: A systematized review of the literature shows that warm showers for labour and immersion in water for labour comprise a multidimensional analysis of their potential impact on the birthing process. Both methods have demonstrated subjective advantages, including pain reduction and a reduction in labour time
