Summary

Labor pain is complex to understand and challenging to define because of the interaction of multiple maternal and fetal factors. Poorly controlled acute post-procedural pain may result in harmful physiological and psychological consequences for both mother and baby. It is therefore important to understand the prelabor factors that may affect the labour pain to facilitate the intrapartum pain management. The goal of this prospective observational study is to verify if expectations regarding pain experience translate to actual pain outcomes for women who are undergoing induction of labor.
