Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate if maternal anxiety is improved when a parturient gets her choice with regard to the presence of a companion during epidural catheter placement for labor analgesia. It will be focused on parturients having their first child with the current partner. Additionally, it will investigate the effect of ethnicity, health literacy (as evaluated by the Newest Vital Sign questionnaire), catastrophizing (as evaluated by the Pain Catastrophizing Scale), and the relationship of the support person to the parturient. The investigators hypothesize that there may be specific subgroups in which maternal anxiety is improved when a parturient gets her choice regarding the presence of a companion during labor epidural catheter placement; however, a significant improvement in maternal anxiety, when including all participants, will not be appreciated.
