In between these two extremes, words such as mild, moderate, severe, and very severe pain are assigned to each 2 cm distance on the line, respectively.

  15 minutes after application of warm compression

• Perineal outcomes

  Perineal outcomes will be assessed as the degree of tears during childbirth as an effect of perineal warm compression

  1 hour after application of warm compression
