The aim of the study is to compare the births that took place in the Feng Shui Birth unit and those that took place in the standard delivery unit in terms of mother-infant health outcomes. The study will be carried out in a private clinic in Istanbul, between July and December 2022. In the study, which is planned as a controlled experimental study, 50 women who applied first and met the inclusion criteria of the study will be selected as the Control Group (B), and it is planned that these women will give birth using the normal routine delivery unit of the clinic. It is planned that the next 50 women will form the Experimental Group (A): and give birth in the birth environment designed according to the Feng Shui Philosophy.
