Severe back labor pain masks a scald caused by shower hydrotherapy – a case report
🔥 Shower hydrotherapy pain relief has a risk of causing scalds, despite safety mechanisms
🔥Severe labor pain increases that risk, due to altered somatic perception

Adult attachment style as a predictor for post-caesarean pain: a pilot study
Insecure attachment style associated with:
⬆️intensity of labor pain
⬆️consumption of analgesics
⬆️chronic pain

Further adequately powered studies needed
