Severe recalled labor pain and elective cesarean section in a subsequent delivery: a cohort study of Norwegian parous women

ConclusionsWomen with severe recalled labor pain were about twice as likely to prefer an elective CS compared with women without severe recalled pain. For actual delivery, the significant association with severe recalled pain diminished after adjustment for covariates. However, sample size was small and, irrespective of severe recalled labor pain, preference for an elective CS was statistically significantly associated with actual delivery by elective CS.
