    The research environment is the maternity ward of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Bandar-e Torkman. The sampling method is purpose-based sampling, the primiparous women referred for childbirth, if they are willing to participate in the study and have the characteristics of the research units, are considered as the research sample. Before the beginning of the sampling, with the help of the software, the random order of assigning people to the groups is specified by the supervisor from 1 to 90 and is placed inside the envelope. On the envelope, the number related to the sequence of the person's entry into the research is written, but the researcher will not know the type of group of people before starting the intervention.

Randomization description
Agreeable and eligible people will be selected to enter the study and after giving sufficient explanations about the goals and groups, written consent will be obtained from the samples. Then, randomly, people will be placed in three acupressure groups of BL25 points, Sham (placebo) acupressure points, and control. Random Allocation Software will be used to assign people to groups randomly. In this way, before the beginning of sampling with the help of the software, the order of the random sequence of assigning people to groups is determined by the supervisor from 1 to 90 and placed inside the envelope. On the envelope, the number related to the sequence of the person entering the research is written, but the researcher will not know the type of group of people before the intervention. After assigning people to groups, the envelope is opened and the type of research unit group is determined for the researcher. The research units will also be informed that they will be in the control or intervention group, but they will not be informed about whether they are in the BL25 or Sham acupressure group. Also, these numbers are recorded as codes on the observation and examination checklist and the information form of the research units so that the type of people's group is hidden during data entry into SPSS.

Description
Intervention group:BL25 acupressure group, intervention in BL25 acupressure points in dilatations of 4-5, 7-6 and 8-10 cm for 20 minutes and a total of 60 minutes, during uterine contractions, with the help of two thumbs of the researcher's hand. In order to prevent discomfort, deep and circular pressure is applied around the BL25 points until the researcher's nail changes color. In each dilatation, after the end of the contraction, the pressure will stop and start with the start of the next contraction. This action is repeated for 20 minutes during contractions. In addition, all the routine measures that are provided to the patients hospitalized in the delivery department, including FHR control, vaginal examination, administration and control of the first, second (except for delivery) and third stage of labor, assessment of labor problems, assessment of problems at birth And.... will also be done for all the people in the groups.

Description
Intervention group: Acupressure of Sham (placebo) points, Acupressure for the Sham group was performed on points near BL25 (2.5 Cun outside of BL25) in exactly the same way as the acupressure group. In addition, all the routine measures that are provided to the patients hospitalized in the delivery department, including FHR control, vaginal examination, administration and control of the first, second (except for delivery) and third stage of labor, assessment of labor problems, assessment of problems at birth And.... will also be done for all the people in the groups.

Description
Control group: In the control group, the researcher is present at the bedside of the pregnant mother, and all the measures that are performed for the control groups, including encouraging the continuation of breathing during contractions, without pressure on the BL25 and Sham points, are also performed for this group. Like the control groups, the researcher is with the people from the 4 cm dilatation of the cervix until the end of delivery at certain times and for the same period of time and provides them with emotional support. The intensity of pain in the intervals mentioned for this group will be measured by the numerical pain rating scale, just like the case groups.
