ANS: B
Somatic pain is sharp, intense, well-localized, burning, or prickling pain felt during the second stage of labor. It is caused by stretching of the perineal body, distention and traction, and soft tissue lacerations. Visceral pain is predominant during the first stage of labor. This deep, dull and aching, poorly localized pain is usually felt only during contractions.
