Can the birth environment help with pain and fear?
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how the birth environment (like a calm, comfortable room) affects pain, fear, how you give birth (vaginal or C-section), and how long labor lasts. It's for first-time mothers who are healthy and not high-risk.
