Trial ID: NCT02178878
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to try to understand why the experience of labor differs among
women. The investigators want to understand why some women have longer or shorter labors and
why the amount of pain women experience is different. The investigators hope to be able to
consider women more individually in terms of their pain and progress of labor.
