Methods 729 parturient women were divided into the experimental group ( n = 503 ) and the control group ( n = 226). The free position during labor was used in the control group. In the experimental group, individualized labor movements and pre-delivery positions were provided to improve the birth outcome. The incidence of emergency cesarean section and use of obstetric forceps were compared between groups. Results A total of 468 parturient women in the experimental group were in spontaneous labor, with an incidence of 93.04% ; 198 parturient women in the control group were in spontaneous labor, with an incidence of 87.6%. The use of obstetric forceps in the experimental group was 1.59% , which was lower than 3.98% in the control group. Twenty-six parturient women in the experimental group went through emergency cesarean section, with an incidence of 5.17% ; nineteen parturient women in the control group went through emergency cesarean section, with an incidence of 8.41%. The difference was significant between groups (χ^2 = 6. 97 ,P 〈0. 05). The most frequent labor position in the experimental group was semireelining position, with an incidence of 90. 46%. The least use labor position was kneeling-squatting position, with an incidence of 4. 57%. Conclusions The Individualized birth process management can significantly decrease the rate of emergent cesarean and forceps delivery.
