Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in the duration of the first and second stage of labor in nulliparous women , with or without epidural analgesia. The investigators hypothesize that the duration of the first stage of labor will be no different in nulliparous patients, while the duration of the second stage will be longer in patient with analgesia.
