After the beginning of the contractions, the pain of the first childbirth was estimated to be 0.18 more than the number of women who had given birth again. Respondents who gave birth for the first time in the cervical period were rated at 0.21 more than the number of women who had given birth again. The pushing period was rated by 0.5 points more than the number of women who had given birth again. The average score for all periods is 4.92 - 8.2 points.

The total score was just 4.92 points at the start of the contractions, 6.39 points at the cervical dilatation and at 8.2 points at the time of pushing. The pain from the first contractions to the birth of the fetus increases. The average of the pain was evaluated, and during the previous deliveries it was shown that the first birth was the most painful. 3.
