[Long-memory of labor pain].

Background: The aim of the study was to investigate the stability of labour pain recall 14-21 months after delivery, and to relate it to events during labour.

Material And Methods: One hundred and fifteen primipara completed a visual analogue scale (VAS) on the second day after delivery, and a similar VAS 14-21 months later. Women who were delivered before completing 37 gestational weeks, had a multiple pregnancy, needed epidural analgesia, or whose infant was transferred to the neonatal care unit were excluded.
