Genetic and Demographic Factors That Influence the Pain and Progress of Labor
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.
Stanford is currently accepting patients for this trial.
