The volume of the samples was one hundred patients. Samples were divided into two groups, one for normal delivery & other for delivery in the water. The analysis of the time & pain of the delivery process carried out with the help of Kruskal wiallis & Mann whitney with P value less than 0.05 declared as significant. Results: The outcome displayed that mean time of the delivery in the water group was 3.1±0.8 hours, which was much lower than the group of normal delivery, which was 4.7±0.8 hour. Mean duration of 2nd phase of delivery in the group of water delivery was 0.53±0.22 hours, which is much less than the normal delivery group with 0.88±0.43 hours. Visual analogue score was in use for the measurement of pain in the both groups. The measurement of the pain was 3.53±0.79 in the group of water delivery & 6.9±1.7 was in the group of normal delivery. It shows a clear reduction in the amount of pain in the group of water delivery.
