Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to determine if targeted prenatal educational program on womens' perceptions of epidural increases the acceptance of intrapartum epidural analgesia relative to the control group.

Detailed Description
