Actual (reported)Recent studies have shown that women are more likely to experience pain in many medical situations. During pregnancy, women may experience an increase in pain threshold. This is thought to be related to hormonal changes and an increase in the level of certain natural pain-relieving substances in their bodies. It is important to develop simple tests to identify woman at higher risk for pain so the investigators can help them. Temporal summation is what happens when a person becomes more sensitive to a certain feeling on their skin when it is applied several times over the course of several seconds. The investigators hypothesize that pregnant women show decreased temporal summation and pain scores to venipuncture, compared to non-pregnant women.
