Objectives :To assess the maternal and fetal outcome among Primi mothers in study and control group.To determine the effectiveness of labour nursing strategies on maternal and fetal outcome among Primi mothers.To correlate the maternal outcome with fetal outcome in study and control group.To associate the demographic variables with maternal and fetal outcome in both groups.
