Introduction: Childbirth is one of the most painful events that a woman will experience. Analgesia is an option for managing pain during labor, providing effective pain relief, achieving a satisfactory experience for the mother. Multiple studies have evaluated health care providers' knowledge of intrapartum analgesia, but very few focus on mothers' expectations and experience with labor analgesia. Objective: To evaluate the knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and opportunity for analgesia during labor of pregnant women attended at the Materno Infantil USS of the Subred Centro Oriente and the USS Calle 80 and Simón Bolívar of the Subred Norte in Bogotá. Methodology: Cross-sectional descriptive study. Results: 313 surveys were collected from pregnant women with a median age of 22 years. The type of analgesia administered was Intravenous/Intramuscular opioid: 73.6% and Epidural 26%, 69.3% did not attend the childbirth education class. 48.2% were unaware of any type of analgesia. Most patients have few myths and beliefs about analgesia. The mean pain score decreased by 4.3 points in the epidural analgesia group and by 1.95 points in the IV/IM opioid group. Attendance at the preparation course did not influence the likelihood of requesting analgesia. Conclusions: There was a lack of knowledge about different analgesic techniques during labor. Epidural analgesia offers significantly greater pain reduction compared to parenteral opioids. The psychoprophylactic course does not influence the decision to require analgesia.
