Study results\: Forty\-seven first\-born women participated in the study \(of whom 36 persons chose medicalization methods and 11 opted out of them\), and 60 multiparous women \(of which 32 used labor medicalization and 28 respondents opted out of it\). Antenatal education has no influence on the choice of labor medicalization \(p=0.19\), and likewise the sources of knowledge about childbirth \(p>0.05\). Women who chose methods of labor medicalization more often sought information about labor anesthesia \(p=0.04\), while respondents who chose natural childbirth more often sought knowledge about natural methods of pain management \(74.4%\) although this analysis showed no statistically significant differences. The respondents with more pregnancies \(p=0.02\) and deliveries \(p=0.01\) were significantly more likely to forgot the medicalization of labor. The analysis showed that subjects who opted out of labor medicalization had greater cervical dilation at the time of admission to the delivery room than parturients who received medicalization \(p=0.0006\). In the course of labor, oxytocin was used significantly more often in the studied group of multiparous women \(p=0.03\), than in the first\-born women, who prefered epidural anesthesia \(p=0.05\).
