Postpartum women are commonly prescribed opioids at the time of postpartum hospital discharge. There is a wide range of morphine milligram equivalents prescribed at hospital discharge following delivery, highlighting a lack of standardization. Furthermore, regardless of objective and subjective measures of pain prior to discharge, women received similar amounts of prescription morphine milligram equivalents following either vaginal or cesarean deliveries.
