They were randomly participating massage with lubricant (45 cases) or control group (100 cases). In massage group when they progressed to full dilatation of the cervix, the midwife inserted two fingers inside vagina and using a sweeping motion gently stretch the perineum with lubricant 5up to 10 minute, in and between mother’s pushing in second stage of labor. In control group just Ritgen Maneuver was applied. At last we compared the rate of intact perineum, episiotomy and laceration, mean duration of second stage of labor and Apgar score in 1 and 5 minute between two groups.Results: In case group, intact perineum, episiotomy and laceration were: 22.2% (10), 44.4% (20), 33.3 (15) respectively. In control group, intact perineum, episiotomy and laceration were: 20.2% (20), 49.3% (71), 28.3% (28) respectively.This difference was not statistically significant. In massage group, first degree laceration was 33.3% (15). In control group, first degree laceration was 28.3% (28).This difference was not statistically significant. In massaged control groups, Second, third and fourth degree laceration have not occurred.Conclusion: The results showed that massage with a sterile lubricant provides no apparent advantage or disadvantage in reducing perineal trauma. Therefore, the use of massage as technique for perineal control is safe based on labor criteria and women’s preference during delivery.

Background and Objective: Mothers and fathers interact differently with the developing fetus.

The difference between them was statistically meaningful (p<0.001). Also variables like planned pregnancy (p<0.001), interest in husband (p=0.004), marital satisfaction (p<0.001) were effective on MFA.Conclusion: Although fathers had lower fetal attachment scores than pregnant women, it is important to assess variables effect on the attachment of the mother and father towards their fetus. In this way we can increase participation of men in reproductive health.
