The majority of parturients in the United States first return for evaluation by their obstetric practitioner 6 weeks after delivery. As such, there is little granular data on the pain experience, analgesic requirements, and functional recovery during the postpartum period. This prospective observational study was performed to evaluate these factors to provide expectations for patients.A total of 213 nulliparous women were enrolled and assessed daily until they completed 3 outcomes: (1) pain resolution; (2) opioid cessation; and (3) self-assessed functional recovery from delivery. The primary endpoint, pain- and opioidfree functional recovery, was the time required to reach all three of the endpoints. Pain burden was assessed as the area under.

Conference Objectives are :

After successfully completing this activity, the learner will be able to inform a nulliparous patient as to the:
• Typical time course of recovery (1, 5)
• Anticipated typical opioid requirement in the postpartum period (4)
• Differences in analgesia needs after vaginal and cesarean birth. (1,2,3,6):
